The Untold Story Of American Superheroines: discussion questions

Yesterday we watched part of the documentary "The Untold Story Of American Superheroines"

We discussed the question: What are your thoughts about how women were often portrayed as chained up or tied up in old comics? Your responses were quite thoughtful and provocative.

You were to consider the following question: 

Do you see the same types of imagery in movies and TV today? 
Next, I want you to consider the following questions: 
  • Where do you see these types of images? 
  • How do seeing these images make you feel? 
  • Why do you think these images still persist in culture today?
 
Brainstorm some responses to these questions and be prepared to share in the next 7-8 minutes. 

Your discussion yesterday was great. There were many interesting and thought-provoking points made. Please show our occasional teacher what intelligent and articulate young people you are by sharing your high-quality ideas in a respectful manner.
