The Importance of Female Superheroes | Christopher Bell | TEDxColoradoSprings
If we want to change the world, we have to change the way we teach children about the world and their places in it. In a 100% media saturated society, that means changing the media our children consume, and the ways in which they interact with media. We need more female superhero toys, and we need them right now.
Dr. Christopher Bell is as an Assistant Professor of Media Studies and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. He specializes in the study of popular culture, focusing on the ways in which race, class and gender intersect in different forms of media. Dr. Bell’s primary research area is young adult culture, particularly dystopian young adult literature and comic books. He teaches both theory and methodology courses in critical analysis of popular culture, rhetorical theory, representation theory and mass media. Dr. Bell is a nationally-touring speaker on issues of race, class and gender in the media, and has presented work at regional, national and international conventions and conferences.

Your daughter has the masculine traits that you don't.
While I don’t think that selling princess merchandise is bad per se (which is something the video doesn’t outright state), but I agree that there should be merchandise of female heroines, even when the main demographic is male.
And that toys should be marketed as unisex, even if it favors one gender as its main demographic.
So, he never saw Aliens, Terminator etc?
Don't worry, we have Ladybug now
poor mike anyone can like anything they want
The only female superhero merchandise I have ever seen is Miraculous Ladybug, and that show is targeted to girls, maybe that's why
I just came across this. Powerful stuff here. When I was growing up I watched G.I. Joe, Thundercats and He-Man and they had female characters and toys representing them. I'm curious if things have changed since this speech was given.
MY LITTLE PONY!!! Bronys are awesome!
disney and warner own marvel and dc respectively…
The reason you aren't finding female superheroes is because you expect them to look like male superheroes. The feminine genius is unique and special and beautiful and looks nothing like superman. She looks like our Mother Mary.
Before buying on gearbest, know that it's thieves.
They do not repay,
on google search for "Thieves Gearbest".
Go out to ANY toy/costume store and you WILL find female superhero costumes and toys…
mother of dragons and Arya stark💓💓💓
Would love to hear your thought on the WW movie success.
Nice speech, but my future boy ain't playing with dolls.
Men are to protect, that's why we have male superheroes. Or you want female superheroes to do the job and protect men? Feminists would still be unhappy with it.
this sucked
gamouras not black she's green
Looks like if I ever make my superhero comic where the badass non-white woman is the leader, I'm gonna' have to sell my merch on the ill-legitimate market.
wow. this man is right
This is a … joke do any of know how many female superheroes there are, I mean do you watch the cw shows I mean their are just as many female heroines in them then men. in the movies let's take a look at them, the list that you came out with had many TEAM UP movies meaning female heroines in them just as much as men. Look comic books have them in many of them too I mean have you ever even looked at a comic book, cat woman, captain marvel, black canary, Wonder Woman, scarlet which, black widow, white canary, power girl, super girl, starfire, and countless others I mean there are so many. It is also a fact that more men write comics, scripts, and direct movies than women do which is not a sexist comment but a fact. Oh and the merchandise, sure women get left out sometimes but maybe that's because the company can't make as much money selling gamora shirts then if they sold a groot of star lord shirt and the another fact is most people really don't care about this , unless you are a triggered feminist, because it doesn't MATTER, there are so many more important issues than if the is a female superhero on a shirt or not i mean what the hell, people need to get their priorities straight there is no long term effect on a girl if she can't get a shirt with a female superhero on it.

Wonderful! Thank you, so much, for this most needed TED talk. You go, man!
this was the best thing ever! Mr Bell you sir are fucking amazing. dont ever stop.
This is my favorite ted talk of all
I am on your side
The fact that this only has 136 thumbs up, and 20 comments is sad. 5,339 views today in April 2016 is too few. This should be viral. This is changing my brain, straight up. I'm sharing this everywhere and I hope there is real change that comes from this consciousness shift.
Geez there's no way this only has 5k views… This is so great!
Awesome guest speaker and future professor! Yes! He is always thought-provoking.
This is fantastic.
Now you can update your presentation… Rey, the lead character (who is female) from the new Star Wars movie is also missing from the action figure set.
Great speech. I was unaware of all but the Black Widow scandal (and it IS scandalous).
Dr. Bell is my professor at UCCS. He definitely is one of the best teachers I've met and his lectures are really some of the best! The points he's made in this TedTalk are great!
Take time to watch this important video. I attended the @TEDxCSprings event. Dr. Bell's presentation had the most impact on my view of the world, media and its impact on children.
really amazing. This is how actually the society is responsible for the thoughts induced in children.
