Ronda Rousey desires to play the Marvel comic book character Captain Marvel and she is using fan artwork to advocate her interest. The UFC champion seems to be perfect for the role and she took to Reddit to voice her opinion. During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) Rousey was posed the question which superhero she would play if given the chance? Her response: “Well...a lot of the good ones have been taken, but I’d like to vie for Miss Marvel.” Rousey has the blonde hair, perfectly sculpted superhero body, and has already proven that she can act, therefore, she is definitely someone I can see taking on the role of Captain Marvel, also known as Ms. Marvel.

Girls hitting puberty are continuously exposed to media, and this being the most vulnerable time in their lives makes them more susceptible to believing what they see and basing their actions off of it. Media is not only full of stereotypes and unreal expectations, but there is also a clear separation of the physical and emotional characteristics between males and females. Using the same group of girls, they are then asked to “Fight like a girl” (Always), which, again, falls under the stereotype. This makes the representation of females clearly different than the representation of males, and part of the contributors to this separation are females themselves.
