Which comic book character is a better role model for femdom?
Catwoman, the classic “bad girl” who wields a whip and likes to tie men up and put them into various traps?
Or Wonder Woman, the classic “good girl” who wields a magic lasso that forces anyone captured in it to tell the truth?
One very ill-informed guy opined:
This is too easy. Men that want to be dominated do not want to be dominated by miss-wholesome who is the girl-next-door. They want to be dominated by a woman that enjoys it. In short, Cat Woman.
And one found the choice too limiting.
I don’t really know Wonder Woman and Catwoman that well, but I like the Goddesses in this Japanese anime. These Goddesses are beautiful spaceships that protect the Planet Zion from the enemy VICTIM.
Within the context of this very limited discussion I’d vote for Wonder Woman. The author a feminist psychologist clearly knew about and enjoyed D/s and inserted elements into the 1930s Wonder Woman that the innocent majority of the time wouldn’t note. Obedience to loving authority indeed.
When Catwoman’s outfit was modernized she developed a dominatrixish look.
Limited the question to two characters is silly. I remember a few years ago Poison Ivy became more or less explicitly a mistress of sorts, albeit a psychotic one who enjoyed feeding men to giant man-eating plants.
Looking at European comic books from the 1970s and forward violent, wicked sadistic women, often in dominatrix drag complete with overlong bullwhip are plentiful.
Is there a comic book femme fatale that fuels your submissive dreams? Heroine or villainess, published in any country at any time.
