[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 71928902, member: 167101"] While I can agree that Hollywood doesn't really give women (in the U.S.) the status that it often pretends to confer upon them from within the contents of its more recent movies, we might still want to point out that for some people (women even?) the Wonder Woman movie at least offers an envisioning of women's social empowerment that hasn't really been installed into the world as yet, but one which I think Christ intends for women to have. I also understand very well that the Bible doesn't make a grandstand to a political spectrum equating to the present day assumptions of the Modern Human Rights regime, but I also can't say that God has 'only' presented responsibilities to humanity. There are a certain number of rights and qualities of these rights that are inferred, even IF they aren't specifically articulated in either of the Testaments in a way that comports with the United Nation's Declaration of Universal Human Rights. There are biblical 'rights,' and even persons and nations who have historically claimed to be representatives of the Christian faith have trampled upon these God-given rights. Anway, something like the Wonder Woman movie is open to social and spiritual scrutiny, from several angles really, some positive, some even spiritually negative, and I think from a Christian viewpoint there are definitely some limits as to how Sci-Fi and Superheroes (like Wonder Woman) can be appropriated. But, in general, the current Wonder Woman movie was done in good taste and with sentiments that aren't far removed from what some Christian intuitions should be about women's place in the world before God.
