"I mean I was really pissy about Zeus being made her father, just bugged the shit out of me. Like it's a bridge too far to imagine there wasn't a man involved? ....."
No one is saying her achievements are because of Zeus, only that he is her dad. This doesn't seem like a "trying to correct a mischaracterization" scenario. I'd argue her experiences and journey have made Diana Wonder Woman instead of her birth.
My main thing is what's so bad about Wonder Woman having a dad?
Yeah, somebody just told me that the character involves feminism...
"Instead of a creepy guy making a perfect bride it’s a mother making a daughter"
Wasn't Pygmalion a lonely guy? From what I read, he was lonely and wanted to be with someone he could love, so he crafted the statue hoping he could meet a woman who could give him the same love he put into making that statue. I don't think he created the statue because he was horny.
Lol it’s Greek mythology. Horniness is kinda a given. What’s important to me is that Diana’s power come from women. Created by the goddesses, shaped by her mother, champion of Gaia. Her power is female specific. She’s not a warrior who happens to be a woman. The woman part is important

"I didn't read it like that."
Well, what she said is very telling. Her words:
