Degrading Woman

In class on Wednesday and Thursday, Sal showed us a movie on Feminism and how ads, movies, television shows, and basically everything in society degrades woman and makes them look weak and not perfect.  In my life, I grew up watching Disney movies like the Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and my personal favorite, Beauty and the Beast.  Growing up watching these movies, you don't really pay attention to masculine parts and feminine parts.  Children mainly focus on fashion, how beautiful the character is, and how pretty her hair is.  I babysit for a 5 year old girl, a 3 year old boy, and a 5 month old.  The 5 year old loves to sing and dance, and in the feminine world, singing and dancing is what all little girls do because that's what everyone else is doing.  The 3 year old is very loud and wanting to always play with his trucks and toys.  Babysitting for these kids makes me see how different girls are from boys, and it's crazy to think that the only reason why we are like this is because we have seen it ever since we were growing up and we don't know any better.
