Why Do Men Need Male Heroes?

Bit of a different video this time. Just trying to discuss and explore this topic of gender and media and what it means for audiences to see themselves represented on screen or relate to the characters on screen. I think it's important to be able to relate to our heroes in some way, and Hollywood certainly thinks so, but how closely do we need to relate to them? Do we need heroes that share our gender, or is a female hero every bit as inspiring as a male hero?

Let me know what you think.

Also, this format certainly isn't permanent. I do intend to continue using my camera, but probably not as much in future videos that focus more on an actual product, rather than discussing ideas or themes. Let me know what you think about that, too.
