Superman and Batman and other heroes being sexist jerks sounds stupid.
Conceptually, Wonder Woman's character existed beyond the glass ceiling in a paradise island of women until she came to man's world, and when she does come here, she's not trapped in the glass house breaking through the glass ceiling so much as she's bringing the whole roof down on patriarchal bullshit.
So this article's nearly 3 years old, in case you didn't realize it.
I'm not even concerned, because I think I see what happened: Feig realized he couldn't get away with such a radical change to established characters, so he took the basic concept and shifted it to a different genre with an original setting. The end result: Spy.

I know that. I just felt it was something to be discussed anyways.
Well that sounds tedious and tired.

But what is there to discuss? The studio rejected the pitch, and Feig rolled with the punches and moved on, even in the context of this article alone. This thread's basically dead already.
This does put Ghostbusters in a new light.
With the movie drawing nearer to release, I thought we'd discuss an... interesting pitch for a Wonder Woman movie made b Paul Fieg, the director of Bridesmaids and The Heat.

It's certainly an eye catcher as far as pitches go. I can see why execs turned it down (especially regarding the parts about Superman and Batman). I'd have liked to see it if only to see how it would have been pulled off.
Thoughts?
