It Ain't Right!

There are some scoundrels out on the internet who will attack anything or anyone that is doing some good be it the President, the Pope, or Superman. Some misguided person has been spreading rumors that Superman is a Superdick! Blasphemous and uncalled for I call it!

Then I got to thinking about the 1960s Superman, specifically the old Lois Lane comic that began in 1954. Those old comics always featured Superman lying, tricking, or making fun of Lois. It is a direct reflection of the attitudes towards women that was pervasive in popular culture in the 50s and 60s. If I take those old 60s Lois Lane stories into account, then maybe Superman was a Superdick to Lois but I think he made up for that by turning back time to save her. Thankfully those stories are a relic of the past and that is where they should remain.
