We need more female superheroes. The ones we have are rarely given the same narrative time as their male counterparts, and they are usually presented in outfits that appeal to men. I propose we create more female superheroes with their own stories, their own powers, and their own choice of outfit. Should they get equal narrative space . . . or not? Did you answer yes in a Flash? Can you quote one female superhero? Do you know her backstory like kryptonite or spider bites? If your answer is no, then it’s time for more narrative time and backstory for our female superheroes.

The two techniques the author most uses to advance their purpose are:
The author employs allusion by referencing well-known superhero elements like "kryptonite" and "spider bites," suggesting familiarity with popular superhero narratives. Connotation is used through the language that implies certain meanings and feelings associated with the treatment of female superheroes compared to their male counterparts.
