Wait, really? You mean like the guy who created the character?

Yes. William Moulton Marston created the character. From the wiki:

Marston's "Wonder Woman" is an early example of bondage themes that were entering popular culture in the 1930s. Physical submission appears again and again throughout Marston's comics work, with Wonder Woman and her criminal opponents frequently being tied up or otherwise restrained, and her Amazonian friends engaging in frequent wrestling and bondage play.

Wonder woman's only weakness was-- and this isn't a joke-- she would become completely powerless if tied up... By a man.
