Os escritores da Mulher Maravilha tinham algum tipo de fetiche por escravidão, nos primeiros quadrinhos?

59

Eu tenho lido os quadrinhos da era de ouro da Mulher Maravilha, e ela era completamente diferente do que é hoje.

Ela costumava ficar impotente quando acorrentada por um homem (pela lei de Afrodite) e havia sempre alguns incidentes onde os bandidos a capturavam e soldavam suas pulseiras ou a amarravam com seu próprio laço.

Mas tudo parou durante os anos 70 ou 80. Será que os escritores tinham algum gosto por escravidão ou foi o criador Charles Moulton quem a representou dessa maneira no começo?

Era tudo Charles Moulton (pseudônimo do psicólogo William Moulton Marston). Aqui está um breve artigo abordando suas idéias a esse respeito.

Algumas citações:

Through his psychological research, Marston had come to the conclusion that women were naturally superior to men, both morally and in terms of skill. Further, he believed that women’s tendency toward loving submission was far preferable to masculine authority, which he viewed as toxic and violent.

Additionally, the goal of the much-vaunted bondage imagery that pervaded Marston’s stories was two-fold: first, to serve as a metaphor for the oppression women suffer in patriarchal society, and second, to add an erotic element so that young readers found themselves associating submission with love, through what Marston called “sex love training.”

E outro perfil do The Atlantic :

And in almost every issue, she is chained or tied up. This plot staple provoked debate from the start: opponents of comic books thought it smacked of sexual fetishism (and fetishists agreed). But whatever it represented in Marston’s personal psychology, bondage was an obvious metaphor for the many ways in which women were collectively and individually constrained by law and “tied down” by marriage, domesticity, children, and all the rest of it.
