Reflection post on Disney
I never realized until we watched that movie in class just how sexist Disney movies are. Shows like Americas next top and others of the sort have always bothered me because of the role they present for women. My girlfriends all follow that show and revere the characters. They love it- like an addiction. Personally I don’t understand how people can watch the crap and I say this all the time. I feel like people should be offended by shows that like that tell girls that people skinny and pretty having a good smile is something worth devoting their life to. Disney movies I feel promote these values from an early age. They tell girls that need to be beautiful and accommodating for people to like them. The girls in Disney films are often powerless, needing to be saved by the hero of the story. Usually they are easily won over and treated somewhat as a prize.
