In any event, the buxom comic book fantasy figure of Wonder Woman emerged from the imagination of the Harvard-educated (A.B., LL.B., and Ph.D.) Harvard professor William Moulton Marson (1893-1947). Because I accentuate young Lynda Carter's big (37") boobs in the present essay, I want to note here that the comic book Wonder Woman figure was buxom - and young Lynda Carter's wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume was designed to resemble the buxom fantasy comic book Wonder Woman's costume.

In any event, the buxom comic book fantasy figure of Wonder Woman emerged in American culture in the early 1940s, when American culture was deeply misogynistic. The 1970s Wonder Woman television series emerged in American culture alongside second-wave feminism to counter and combat the deep misogyny of American culture. Today the deep misogyny in American culture is manifested in President Donald Trump's misogyny - and in the misogyny of Trump's male MAGA supporters. Today misogynistic American men are not candidates for working through the liberation of endogamous kinship libido that is "married within" their psyches to their early childhood image on their moms (or their mother-figures).
Now, I borrow the expression endogamous kinship libido from Ong's succinct summary of the Jungian analyst Erich Neumann's grand synthesis of Jung's work in his landmark book titled The Origins and history of Consciousness, translated by R. F. C. Hull (Pantheon Books, 1954; orig. German ed., 1949). Ong sets forth his succinct summary of Neumann's Jungian account of the eight stages of consciousness in his (Ong's book Rhetoric, Romance, and Technology: Studies in the Interaction of Expression and Culture (Cornell University Press, 1971, pp. 10-11):
"The stages of psychic development as treated by Neumann are successively (1) the infantile undifferentiated self-contained whole symbolized by the uroboros (tail-eater), the serpent with its tail in its mouth, as well as by other circular or global mythological figures [including Nietzsche's imagery about the eternal return?], (2) the Great Mother (the impersonal womb from which each human infant, male or female, comes, the impersonal femininity which may swallow him [or her] up again), (3) the separation of the world parents (the principle of opposites, differentiation, possibility of change, (4) the birth of the hero (rise of masculinity and of the personalized ego) with its sequels in (5) the slaying of the mother (fight with the dragon: victory over primal creative but consuming femininity, chthonic forces), and (6) the slaying of the father (symbol of thwarting obstruction of individual achievement, [thwarting] what is new), (7) the freeing of the captive (liberation of the ego from endogamous [i.e., "married" within one's psyche] kinship libido and the emergence of the higher femininity, with woman now as person, anima-sister, related positively to ego consciousness), and finally (8) the transformation (new unity in self-conscious individualization, higher masculinity, expressed primordially in the Osiris myth but today entering new phases with heightened individualism [such as Nietzsche's overman] - or, more properly, personalism - of modern man [sic])."
Ong also sums up Neumann's Jungian account of the stages of consciousness in his (Ong's) book Fighting for Life: Contest, Sexuality, and Consciousness (Cornell University Press, 1981, pp. 18-19; but also see the "Index" for further references to Neumann [p. 228]), the published version of Ong's 1979 Messenger Lectures at Cornell University.
I have quoted Ong's succinct summary of the eight stages of consciousness from Ong's 1971 book Rhetoric, Romance, and Technology in my essay "Secondary Orality and consciousness Today" in the well-organized anthology titled Media, Consciousness, and Culture: Explorations of Walter Ong's Thought, edited by Bruce E. Gronbeck, Thomas J. Farrell, and Paul A. Soukup (Sage Publishing, 1991, pp. 194-209).
Now, on some level of my psyche and consciousness, I am sure that busty (37") young Lynda Carter's big (37") boobs reminded me of my Mom's big boobs. Consequently, my extraordinary infatuation with busty (37") young Lynda Carter in the fall of 2024 helped me further experience the liberation of endogamous kinship libido that is "married within" my psyche to my early childhood image of my Mom and her big breasts. When I speak of working through the liberations of endogamous kinship libido that is "married within" my psyche to my early childhood image of my mom in my psyche, I assume that my early childhood image of my Mom included her breasts.
