Social justice warriors spent years fervently fighting to get more blockbuster films starring women. Comic-Con’s debut of the Wonder Woman trailer,
has triggered an uproar of these same liberals, indignant that lead
actress, Gal Gadot, is an Israeli woman and proud veteran of the Israeli
army.
Conscripted into the Israeli Defense Forces at 20, Gal
Gadot served two years, where she excelled in the physically daunting
boot camp, and went on to serve as combat trainer. She studied law for a
year, but after being discovered by a casting director went on to
persue her career in film. Putting her combat training to use, Gadot
does all her stunts herself. After finishing her service in the army,
Gal married her fiancé, and went on to have a baby girl.
In an interview with People Magazine,
Gadot elucidated on the importance of strong female characters in
popular culture. Keen on passing her values of independence, courage and
hard work to her daughter, Gadot explained, “It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong, superhero to look up to.”
