Yeah, but that's the popular opinion of her. Most people think of Wonder Woman, they think of "Girl Superman." There's been other writers who've combated this, sure, but to be honest, writers like Rucka and Gail only last for a few years before moving on, and Wonder Woman has been in publication for decades.
Well, I think it's an opinion not well-rooting in reality. Sure, Rucka and Gail only last a few years... but I'm hard pressed to think of a writer who did treat her as 'girl Superman'.
Try the writers of "superfriends", which is (sadly) where pop culture got their idea of most superheros from. Not to mention the comics around the 60s -70s, when she wasn't given some of the most insulting story lines known to man.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

When would you say she is one?
I don't feel she's been one in Rucka's run, Gail's run, or, say, the Waid/Kelly JLA run.
