When watching Mickey Mouse Monopoly it became clear to me how I’ve noticed these things in the past. Even just a few months ago I was watching a YouTube video about Disney conspiracies and the Siamese cats were brought up. After really paying attention to these clips that were brought up in the video it makes me wonder how much these Disney movies actually play into our understanding of the world.

The last clip I will talk about regarding gender also related to these two chapters is the Beauty and the Beast clip. When Dr. Carolyn was talking about gender stratification she pointed out that Belle falls in love with the beast and how it somewhat encourages young girls to find a man who is
