Misogyny

A prejudice against women.

SLIDE 3

Consumerist Feminism

Consumerist Feminism is the base of all feminist ideals. Generally seen in Disney films as the feisty female protagonist.

SLIDE 4

In the past few decades Disney has presented audiences with “feisty” princesses. Though these women pack a punch, these popular tales such as Beauty and the Beast, Tangled (Rapunzel) and Frozen are all examples of consumerist

feminism. These tales continue to teach women and girls that

they must rely on a man as well as uphold unrealistic beauty standards.

Disney Feminist Films

Moana and Mulan

SLIDE 12

Mulan

➔ Shows women in powerful situations. ➔ Demonstrates that women can do the same things as men. ➔ Retake on the classic “love” story. ➔ Has no love story ➔ The film is only about a young girl’s adventure ➔ Shows the positivity of the maternal structure.

Moana

SLIDE 13

Matriarchal Structure

Women holding the same or more power than males in the home.

My discoveries

➔ Disney is just as sexist as Grimm and

ther fairy tales

➔ Disney has started to progress into feminism, yet still has major flaws ➔ Even if the plot of a film is not misogynistic generally, the dialogue is ➔ Themes in older fairy tales also sadly reflected the society of that time.
