Masculinity in the Media

Like so many other people I never really noticed that the males in Disney movies like the ones in the video below were all shaped after one type of male. Strong, masculine, straight and as a hero saving a women in distress.  I found this video through an online course I'm taking called American Culture. Most of these Disney movies depict women as objects.  The characters are often seen as mothers or servant to the buff and tough men.  They are also seen as week and in need of men in order to survive.  I think this is giving young boys the wrong message making them feel like they have to grow up to be big and tough and not ever show true emotion or compassion.Not to mention to see the girls as inferior and weak.
