She's far from a glass canon. And she has the grit to keep going even if somehow he managed to really hurt her and once she gets a hand on him it's game over. One time Circe had a sphere of magical flame protecting her that burned Diana's skin off leaving only the skeleton of her arm left and she still pushed through to throttle her.
Oversized sheets. On Ultra King sized beds. At the moment, I want one of those in every room of my dream house.
Not being carnal now, thinking instead of how that would capture the "Whee!" feeling of being a kid again, and everything in the world being SO ridiculously big and wonderful and ready-to-explore.
I'm thinking the mattresses would be too big to fit through the average doorway, however. So I'm thinking now, there must be some style of bed, that, shipping container like, fits together small units, of whatever number one desires, into a large quadrangle shape, however big you want it.
How big the sheets comes right after that.
If they're too big, they wouldn't fit into a washing machine. You'd have to have an oversized version of washing machine to handle that much cloth. I suddenly wonder how they ever washed the sails of sailboats back in the days, if indeed they did.
If they had a solution to that problem, though, it would then make sense that you find so much material, so many layered blankets on cottage house style beds. I mean, if you can find a solution to washing all the cloth that comprises ... what ... a hundred square feet of sail for a Nantucket ship? Then any amount of cloth you'd need washed for household use is trivial.
But I sure would like to know how they actually did it if they did.
You've never gone off-topic?
I got bored and decided to check out the website of Better Homes and Gardens for the first time this morning.

Back to the subject at hand, though.
Were this conversation being held in the 1990s, especially during the William Messner Loebs era, I would agree with the poster who called Wondy a glass cannon.
I looked that term up on TV Tropes, and, for early 1990s-Wonder Woman, even a great deal of 1980s Perez Wonder Woman, it fits.
Great physical strength, low durability.
Fairly accurate as a description for many versions of the early post-Crisis character.
However ...
.... Wonder Woman didn't stay that way.
John Bynre saw to that initially, and subsequent writers from Mark Waid and Greg Rucka to Gail Simone have attended to increasing her durability over the years.
I didn't realize how great the need was till participating in the Superman versus Wonderwoman thread that was closed in June.
A poster there showed me Wonder Woman actually bleeding from grabbing hold of her lasso and resisting the weight of people, including herself, being pulled into a magically or physically created vortex.
Wasn't extraordinarily powerful to gauge from collateral damage either. Wasn't even enough force to dislodge a street sign from its mooring. Ridiculously low and damning for the top-tier she would become known for being in recent years. Fact, think I'll spend a moment reviewing that thread and see if I can't find that scene. It's a pretty striking contrast to the Diana we knew just before the reboot.

U went waaaayyyyy left field
However.....? Her blunt force durability is fine, or rather always has been, it was her slashing stabbing durability that sucked iirc.

Wonder Woman's durability has been her most inconsistent trait from WAY back in the day. It's not something new.
Nevertheless, the post-Crisis trend following Byrne has been to increase it. It was weaker before him in all areas, though, not just to specifically "sharp" objects.
Witness the following, which I relocated from the thread I mentioned awhile ago, originally posted by a forum participant named Delta1938 in his photobucket account:
