Topic: Would you say that the ratio of male to female heroes in the media is unbalanced?

No, I do not mean someone who is a male-to-female transsexual, I mean the number of male heroes in contrast to the number of female heroes.

My brother thinks there are too many female heroes and not enough male ones. He thinks this should be balanced.

There are barely any films (especially superhero films) with a woman as the lead though. Recently I can only think of wonder woman. Maybe x23 will get her own movie

He mostly refers to the two captains from the new Star Trek series, Rey and Jyn Erso from Star Wars, etc.

It seems like 4 female heroes over the span of 2 years should be the maximum. If I wanted to see a woman I would buy her time by the hour, thanks.

I presume you mean to take her out on a date, right? You seem too classy a gentlemen for prostitution.

The comic books from which the characters derive have never been known to generate interest from girls, and much less so from adult women, who tend to have less need of what is often simple power fantasies.
