From this article I went onto
exploring how gender roles are seen through media which is aimed for children,
the main one I looked at was something which everyone has watched at some point
in their life Disney films, what made this different from everything else i had
read was that, this article stressed how Disney also affects how males
are viewed.
Disney
Princesses are seen as over sexualised, and that "young girls are hounded
with images of princesses, who tell them that the key to happiness is being
fashionable, beautiful and that you need to find a prince to save you, this
also teaches young boys in order to be successful you must be manipulative.
The
male stereotypes within Disney are focused on being strong and powerful and
overall being smarter than the women they are trying to claim as their own, and
within Disney films when a male sings a song they are signing about how to be a
man, a good example of this is in Mulan and beauty and the beast.
