From the blog entry you cited…
“Yeah, the problem is, she doesn’t look like a person trying to figure it out, she looks like a terrified moron, an out-of-her-depth female, cowering in fear.

Listen, sure, she’s young; but she can fly, she’s invulnerable to harm, and she can melt things when she looks at them. “Oh golly gee, I am so worried” is not a response you would see on a person who can do that. You’re not going to see it on the face of Superman, and he has the same powers.”

Why SHOULDN’T Supergirl be depicted as afraid, out of her depth, and unknowing? She’s a YOUNG superheroine facing insurmountable odds. Her level of powers don’t protect her doubting herself.

Let’s take an example from the “Brainiac” storyline around the same time:
Supergirl (Kara): I can’t do it.
Superman (Kal): Yes, you can.
Kara: I’m not fast enough.
Kal: Yes you are.
Kara: I’m scared.
Kal: It’s OKAY to be scared.
With that realization, her face reflects her new found sense of determination.
She then flies off to save the world… Or something.

There’s nothing wrong the J.G. Jones covers.

I’d also like to ask: what do GOOD female covers look like? As a thought experiment, come up with a reason why every superhero cover you come across COULD potentially be sexist. No matter what, one would be able to find something and someone out there is conditioned/predisposed to interpreting it that way.

Regardless of how some people feel, a woman in such a stance is not worthy of disrespect. He did not depict her with disrespect. That feeling is a projection of disrespect from those who with contempt for public, female form. William Marston created her to be alluring, regal, loving…but powerful.

Today’s audiences seem so invested in her regality that they forget she’s an attractive human being (with a sex drive just like the rest of us).
There are enough distracting, unrealistic, ridiculous renderings of Wonder Woman out there we can talk about. This is not one of them.

She’s not stripping, licking her fingers, or rubbing herself.
She is standing straight with a her hand on her hip/lasso with her appropriately statuesque figure on display. Nothing more.

Are you familiar with Women in Refrigerators? http://www.unheardtaunts.com/wir/

It’s a website from Gail Simone that chronicles the unusually grisly fates of female characters in comics. It’s drawn interesting responses from professionals and fans in the field. It’s a little out-of-date now, but still intriguing.
