Remember when you were a kid and you would joke about “opposite day”? Apparently that happened in this video. Here’s a quote from Penny Nance, the CEO of Concerned Women for America:
If we lived in a world where Frozen was the only movie that had ever been released, the CEO of Concerned Women for America might have a point. But we don’t live in that world. We literally live in the opposite world that’s being described in that above video. Disney itself releases about 15 movies a year where a man is the hero.
It’s not just Disney, but Hollywood in general has often sent the message that men are superfluous, that they’re stupid, that they’re in the way, and if they contribute anything to a family it’s a paycheck. And that is not true, and it’s not good social science
But let’s forget about that. Let’s once again pretend that Frozen is the only movie that has ever been released. Doesn’t Kristoff race back to save Anna? Doesn’t Olaf almost commit suicide to save her? And isn’t Hans, for about 80% of the movie, almost the ideal man?
Oh man, this segment is funny and totally crazy and almost unfathomable. How did this get on television?
The question for us as moms, is when we bring our daughter to see ‘Frozen,’ or whatever the movie is, we often have our little boy sitting there, and is this message helpful? We want them to know that they’re essential. We want to raise heroes. We want to raise real men. We want to encourage masculinity and not villainize masculinity.
