Is A Thor By Any Other Name Still Thor? | PBS Idea Channel

Female THOR has brought about some controversy. But, gender issues aside, people seemed most perturbed with labeling someone other than the male THOR as THOR.

Join Michael Rugnetta on this episode of PBS Idea Channel as he investigates what the labeling and naming of someone or something actually means.
