Gender Inequality In Disney Film

134 Words1 Page

I never realized the gender inequality in this Disney song until I read your paragraph. From a sociological viewpoint, I agree with your point that this song highlighted all the masculine traits needed to be a man. With this also being one of my favorite Disney movies, I went back and read the lyrics which include; “Did they send me daughters, when I asked for sons”? From a sociological viewpoint this verse devalues the judgement of women by calling the soldiers daughters. This is an example of Johnson’s concept that patriarchy is male-centered and to be accused of feminine qualities is insulting (Johnson, 2007).

  • Tough Little Boys Analysis

    692 Words  | 3 Pages

    The name Tough Little Boys, a country song by Gary Allan, sends a message to those who are going to listen to it, that this is about how boys or any males should act. The automatic assumption just seeing the title of this song is that it is going to tell boys they must be tough. Although once actually listening to the song one realizes that it is, in fact, talking about how males should act, but it isn’t strictly talking about how a man should be tough. It is actually highlighting a very emotional part of a man’s life and it is celebrating it. The overall message that Gary Allan is trying to send his listeners is that that men should still be tough and strong, but they must also have a soft spot for their children.
