"What's Wrong with Cinderella?"
Referring to the disney movies such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, women have portrayed to be girly-like and princesses. These figures are meant to be shown as ones' who need to be rescued from a tragedy or spell. Women in today's world are capable of doing anything they put their mind to, such as becoming president, playing sports, business leaders, and even rock stars. When we were little or way back when, gender roles were very different and seen different. Women were supposed to stay home, clean the house, cook the meals, be with the children, and play house. Men were supposed to work, provide shelter, and earn the money. The belief was that a woman's destiny depends on rescue by a handsome young prince. These beliefs were shown in movies to a point where it was wrong for women to go out to the working world and not bare kids. My points of view is that I think what was shown in the movies is wrong and is sexist towards what women can do and not do. They have every equal right to go out into the working world and follow their careers.
