Wonder Woman and the Phallic Symbol Because fighting crime can be hard. A suggestive, but entirely SFW collection of old WW comic book covers.

Sympathetic phallacy.

See such phallic detail also in the new issue of Hoverboy (discussed previously, or not).

Comics101 has a fantastic essay on Wonder Woman that includes a good look at the early comics' bondage and submission themes, which I think we can all agree has absolutely no relation to the subject of this post.

Hey, she's totally carrying that shark like it's a surfboard, not like it's a penis. What gives?

A surfboard is a symbol of the patriarchal hegemony, used to conquer the feminine ocean, subverting it to the imposed will of man. As every fule kno.
