Where's [insert female superhero here]?
Where’s [insert female superhero here]?
This is a topic I feel strongly about. But I think Mr. Bell speaks about it better than I could so I’ll let this TED talk do the talking for me. http://ted.com/talks/view/id/2572 P.S. I tagged this post with some of the hashtags Mr. Bell mentions. It was really difficult for me to not insert apostrophes. #writerproblems

Dear whomever signs for letters at marvel-comics-headquarters (again) (probably some poorly paid intern?),
I hope the rest of the day at work isn't as soul-sucking-ly depressing as tossing heartfelt fan mail into the circular file.
marvelentertainment's office....where letters from fans go to die, where representation is for particular comics at particular times (never for the full roster of stuff and never for the things produced for the masses/casual-geek), and where they forget that the 50% female portion of the population is capable of being a hero, not just needing one.

The same disney that wasn't planning on making #WeWantLeia action figures seems very eager to push the sexist failings of it's subsidiaries back onto subsidiaries (like marvelentertainment)
Which really sucks, because if any single company had the power to re-write the narrative of women and their portrayal, it would be disneyanimation (and Marvel). Product development takes time, but a "whoops, hey, here's a stop gap fix" and "we'll do better" is something that could be done in an afternoon) And, once again, this could be solved by companies hiring a child fan to say "where are the people of color? Where are the girl heroes? Why do the aliens look like that?" http://dearmarvel.weebly.com/blog/dear-disney
One retailer says Gamora was left off a "Guardians" shirt because "it's for boys."
I have not seen Guardians of the Galaxy but I do know that Gamora is a main character and essential to the plot. So...why is she missing from all the merchandise???
Sexism starting young ladies and gentleman
However, it makes me so happy that so many people are flipping out about this and holding these companies responsible for their sexism.

i am honestly so upset by the lack of Gamora merch. the example that it's setting is sickening. no young boy would have a problem wearing a Guardians shirt with her on it since she is a part of that team and BELONGS there (i actually plan to tell my little brothers (ages 10 & 11) later today & i'm sure they'll be annoyed). the fact that she isn't there seriously encourages boys to think that she is a lesser part of the team because of her gender, and discourages girls from feeling accepted as fans and takes away a role model for them. i am just sO PISSED OFF.
Leanna is a 5-year-old girl who loves superheroes. But, as her father explains, “when she wears her superhero clothes to kindergarten, the boys tell her that superheroes are ‘for boys.’ She has even started to wear her jacket all day to keep from being hassled about it.” GASP!! This does not fly in our WYSKy …
WED, OCT 2- Wear Your Superheroes Day @womenysk http://bit.ly/1qOXxlN Because superheroes are for everyone and girls belong in that picture too!
