Avengers: Girls Stay Out







This is a t-shirt I brought back from the States for my 3 year old son. My daughter (who is 6) asked me "Where's Black Widow?" To which I stuttered a ridiculous response regarding t-shirt space and followed it up with a "maybe they forgot?"  I know, I'm a parenting genius.

With the huge splash this movie recently made at the box office, I wondered if leaving out Black Widow really affects t-shirt sales. Because that's what this is really about, the fear boys won't want to wear a t-shirt that features a female superhero in a male dominated superhero group. But does that line of thinking really reflect today’s 3 year olds? Do little boys really refuse to wear t-shirts that have a girl somewhere on it? Enough to affect sales?  

Anyway, all that being said, I can't wait to see this movie.
