    Wonder Woman broke records this weekend after reeling in 223 million dollars worldwide. We have the fierce female team of director Patty Jenkins and actress Gal Gadot to thank for this major box office success (and for empowering women and girls everywhere).

    Despite this groundbreaking accomplishment, some have taken to Twitter and Facebook to criticize this feat from a super sexist perspective.
