Last week,
we reported on the United Nation's decision to remove Wonder Woman's status as an honorary ambassador due to a petition which questioned whether she would be the best role model for a campaign championing gender equality and female empowerment. Today, Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot has broken her silence. “
There are so many horrible things that are going on in the world, and this is what you’re protesting, seriously?” said an incredulous Gadot.
In direct response to the petition's of Wonder Woman's “
impossible proportions”, and "l
arge breasts" Gadot questioned the double-standard behind such reasoning.
“
When people argue that Wonder Woman should ‘
cover up,’
I don’t quite get it. They say, ‘
If she’s smart and strong, she can’t also be sexy.’
That’s not fair. Why can’t she be all of the above?”
