What Does The Future Hold?
Personally, I think and hope this change in how many women come into the different "universes" of geek culture be it Marvel, DC, Sherlock, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, or whatever sector of the culture it is goes on cause it not only helps to defy the geek stereotype as being strictly male but it shows that girls can be just as geeky (thus just as cool) as any guy can be if not more so. It also shows the next generation of girls/women that it is ok to like stuff like Tardises, superheroes, lightsabers, and whatnot- if you like it then embrace it and be proud of it and the person you are.
It's really important in a time when as a society we want things to change for the better for not only us but for this young generation and those to come through the movements to end bullying and to raise and encourage young girls to be anything they want to be and that the sky is no longer the limit anymore that we keep going in breaking down the panoptic social norms and views if not change the proverbial lens to one where it's ok to be a geeky girl who is in to stuff like superheroes and science (and science-fiction) while also being individuals who are not afraid to "Try Everything" for women can be just as successful and awesome in life as men are-there's plenty of pop culture examples that prove it!
