It’s time for girls to play superheros.
I am a mom of 2 boys and have 2 sisters. I have lived the gender difference. Boys have superpowers that make them more confident as men. Girls are dolls that are expected to play house as women.
The recent AI avatar sensation, criticism aside, has done one great thing: it turns women into superheros.
Studies have shown that seeing a female Sci-fi hero makes girls believe they can achieve anything. A “simple” character can help girls feel brave, confident, inspired, positive and motivated.
I love that Hollywood is creating more and more of these bad ass (yes I said bad ass) lead role female superheros.
So think what you may; I am going to have fun with these AI avatars: it’s just another way to paint women as strong and powerful.
We need more female superhero leaders.
