Leftists are saying Disney is sexist. All jokes aside.
They say that Sleeping Beauty is bad because a man kisses her while she is asleep and vulnerable. Little Mermaid is bad because she gives up her voice for a man.
Yay to PC Culture.
bad luck and dino are celebrating
People have been saying that for years. A lot of the Disney movies don’t have a great message for girls.
As a father of two girls, I vehemently disagree with this statement. I knew bad luck was an idiot. This post confirms it.
As a father of two children, I don't really care if you vehemently disagree.
The argument that I've heard isn't so much that Sleeping Beauty was assaulted or anything like that, but more so that female main characters in older Disney movies get their worth from finding a man. The theme is find your prince, then you'll be happy/all with be fixed/etc..
That's not a great message. And they don't do the same thing to the male characters. Imagine if the theme of Lion King wasn't Simba growing into a capable leader with the help of family and friends, but instead Simba pining for Nala to love him and make him happy.
Newer Disney movies are better. Moana, for instance, was great. The young female lead was a hero and there wasn't any love interest in the movie at all.
