What is normal? Are you normal?
Normal, it is related to the time of an event. In ancient China, it was normal for a man to marry multiple women and have children, but in modern times, it is not normal; homosexuality and bisexuality were crimes in the early days and had to be arrested, but now most people think this is normal, or even do nothing about it. The base is almost out of order.
Normal, also has to do with the place or environment in which an event occurs. For example, the fact that a man marries multiple women is now normal in some countries and not normal in others.
There is such a girl, she likes to dress herself up as a Bra with high-heeled boots, a miniskirt and a metallic texture, and an Amazon female warrior whose other bodies are exposed. She holds a rope in her hand and likes to tie others up at every turn... …
if this girl was in a porn magazine, she might be playing cross-dressing, BDSM; if this girl was in real life, she might be considered a bit of a pervert; and if this girl was in a superhero comic, she would be Become Wonder Woman.
When we see Wonder Woman like the above, although we may drool a little, we will still be infected by her Huoxiang righteousness, and we want to join her in defending world peace.
But why is the reaction a little weird when we see Wonder Woman like the one below? I always feel something is wrong.
Are we abnormal, or are Wonder Woman abnormal?
This question needs to go back to the story of the creator of Wonder Woman, the famous American psychologist Professor William Moulton Marston.
His story is better than Wonder Woman.
02Professor
Marston is a magical existence, and his story is estimated to be the envy of most men.
Professor Marston has two wives at the same time, one is called Elizabeth, she is "smart, fierce, hilarious", is a "first-class bitch", she is also Professor Marston's academic research partner.
Another was Oliver, who was "beautiful, down-to-earth, kind" and had a "pure heart" and was initially a student and teaching assistant of Professor Marston, and later lived with them as sister Elizabeth.
And Professor Marston's two wives love each other, and yes, that's right, Professor Marston has the mathematically perfect 3Ps—three people who love each other in pairs.
Wonder Woman is the combination of Professor Marston's two wives, smart, fierce, beautiful and pure. Wonder Woman's dress comes from their daily tastes - Oliver will dress up as an Amazonian female warrior, they play BDSM together, Wonder Woman The magic weapon armguard that blocks bullets comes from the bracelet they used to seduce them, and the magic weapon truth lasso used to tie people to tell the truth comes from Professor Marston's most important invention - the polygraph.
Professor Marston's academic achievements are not only the invention of the lie detector, but also in the 1920s, he proposed a model DISC to explain human emotional responses. He divided human emotions into four measurable factors: Dominace (Dominance), Influence (Influence), Steadiness (Robustness) and Compliance (Compliance), the DISC assessment that human resources departments often use to test employees' personality is based on Professor Marston's model.
In 1940, Professor Marston created Wonder Woman, the most famous female superhero in the history of DC comics. The sales volume of the comics even surpassed that of Superman, and Professor Marston's family became very rich and lived a prosperous life.
After Professor Marston died of skin cancer in 1947, his two wives, Elizabeth and Oliver, lived together for decades, Oliver in 1985 and Elizabeth in 1993.
Is it simply a winner in life?
But more than 70 years ago, even in a free country like the United States, all this was not so easy.

In 1893, Professor Marston was born in Massachusetts, USA, and in 1921, he received a doctorate in psychology from Harvard.
Before 1925, Professor Marston was a popular student professor and a major in psychology. He taught at Tufts University, and his wife Elizabeth, also a Ph.D. in psychology, worked with him on testing The research and development of the lie instrument, until that year, Professor Marston discovered Oliver in the crowd of students, just because he glanced at you in the crowd.
Oliver was born into a feminist family, her mother and her aunt were well-known feminists. Her aunt, birth control pioneer, Margaret Sanger famously said: "Women should not be freed
by others, but should be freed themselves"
The mutual testing in the research made the three of them have wonderful feelings for each other. Finally, with the help of a lie detector, they found that they were in love with each other. This discovery was really exciting and scary.
In America at that time, homosexuality was abnormal, 3P was abnormal, and BDSM was probably abnormal.
But the three still lived a life of threesome.
But they soon paid the price for their "abnormality", the school expelled Professor Marston and his wife Elizabeth, Oliver of course couldn't go on with her normal life, and she was pregnant.
Out of living needs, Ms. Elizabeth, a former Ph.D. in psychology, had to subsidize her family by working as a typist and secretary. The former professor, Marston, had no school willing to hire him, and his academic works were uninterested, so he had to find another way to do it. creation.
Although living in embarrassment, they are sexually happy. After deepening their inner needs, they developed hobbies such as BDSM. Oliver often dresses up as Wonder Woman in the future.
In 1940, Professor Marston was inspired by pornographic magazines and novels, and wanted to implant his DISC theory, as well as ideas about SM, feminism, and freedom, into comic publications, so he created Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman Diana lives on a female-only paradise island. She is the illegitimate daughter of Zeus and the Amazon Queen. She has wisdom, beauty, strength, courage, and various magic weapons sent by seven aunts and eight aunts, including Armguards that stop bullets and lassoes of truth that tell the truth.
The early Wonder Woman comics were full of similes and metaphors about SM and LGBT. It is not difficult to find Professor Marston's careful thinking: to implement Influence through comics, so that the public can accept the shocking ideas of feminism, SM, and LGBT at that time.
Wonder Woman was so popular that it once surpassed Superman in sales and became the most famous woman in superheroes. The Marstons finally got rid of the embarrassment and lived a good life.
But one day, the three of them were embarrassed and forgot to close the door, and the neighbors who came to visit saw a blinding scene:
Although they were doing embarrassing things in their own homes, they didn't provoke anyone, but the neighbors still It feels so perverted, so disgusting, so abnormal!
So the Marston family ushered in a miserable life again. Their children were beaten by their classmates at school, Professor Marston was beaten by the neighbors himself, and the two wives were called bitch and perverted...

On the other hand, Wonder Woman comics A large number of images of binding, whipping, and spanking caught the attention of the American Association for the Study of Children.
They began to interrogate and even accuse Professor Marston, and launched campaigns such as banning and burning books.
The world ruthlessly suppressed these three people with the normality and justice it took for granted, but the Marston family did not succumb.
Marston rejected the allegations about the Wonder Woman comics, did not choose to move, escape, and still lived strong together in an "abnormal" way.
In 1947, Professor Marston died of skin cancer.
After his death, Wonder Woman was gradually changed into a normal appearance, the lasso of truth was no longer used for all kinds of skilled SM binding, the feminist thought was not so exciting, and she even had an affair with Superman, it is said Batman had a good time with her too.
Today, Wonder Woman has completely become a money-making tool for DC, like Marvel's superheroes, but when she was created, in addition to the sacred mission of maintaining world peace, she also quietly assumed influence. The world accepts the role of SM, LGBT, etc.
While fighting against various evil forces, she quietly conveyed a concept of "what is normal".
Regarding Professor Marston and Wonder Woman, a movie was released in the United States in 2017 to tell the story. The title of the film was "Professor Marston and Wonder Woman", but everyone's eyes were obviously drawn by Galgai in 2017. Duo's "Wonder Woman" was attracted.
In fact, this movie is much better than Wonder Woman, after all, its protagonist Professor Marston and his two wives are really fighting against the resistance of this secular world.
At the beginning of the film, Professor Marston asks his students: What is normal? What is normal?
At the end of the film, Professor Marston said in his speech:
Wonder Woman is a love letter, a fantasy, she comes from a far away place, where there is beauty, justice and respect.
I'm writing about the women I've seen and known, women who are just as powerful, all-powerful, and unmistakable as Wonder Woman. Now we can argue about the length of her dress, but more importantly, the way women transform criminals, she gets them to tell the truth, and that's what Wonder Woman stands for - truth.
