Hi there Mr Bobinsky! As a female viewer, I did not find Gadot’s WW costume offensive. It is derivative of the original 1940s cartoon character’s costume, with the nuance of practical historical armor. But if she had not been a superhero character, I would have found such a costume (and others you mention in your excellent blog post) idiotic.
