If anyone wonders if a female super hero movie can come out without this crazy drama? Yes. You just need a woman with enough of a spine to reject the cult. Check out as this cult member (The flash), attempts to indoctrinate a woman who is actually strong and she rejects the cult.
Results? Men loved her movie. This is not about women. Its about rejecting a cult. And that's exactly what a lot of this is--a cult. Again, this is despite OVERT symbolism of "female power" in Wonder Woman, including men "lifting" Wonder Woman up multiple times to rise well above them upon structures of old institutional power (When the men helped wonder woman jump up into the bell tower of the Church), or when she walks into "no man's land". In an SJW movie, some idiotic cult member would not have been able to resist the awkward, ham fisted moment where he got to do an exchange like "That's no man's land, no man can go out there"--->"I'm no man!" (Proceeds to defeat all the Germans with no help). But in Wonder Woman, they still have the symbolism there (She goes into no-man's land)--buts they don't need to explain it, because they aren't making the movie to preach their ideology.
That's the difference between a cult producing propaganda, and someone telling a story with themes that empower women. They are not the same thing.
