Yup, supergirl may've been feminist for its time, but at this point in history it's anti-feminist. A woman character should be her own fully original being, not a female variation of an existing man.

    Wonder Woman was (is still) feminist for its time. They just had to make it that her only weakness was if she got bound or shackled by a man.

    Hah i didn't know about that last part, but yeah exactly perfect example. Wonder Woman is her own original self. And there's plenty more fully originals, Black Widow, Phoenix, Invisible Woman, Storm, Jubilee, Emma Frost, Captain Marvel, Scarlett Witch, Rouge, and on and on.
