Feminist Perspective in Media

 Feminist Perspective focuses on the fact that the dominant ideology controls what people believe in media, and in this case, the dominant ideology is that the men and masculine perspective is over women and the feminine perspective. This also includes the gender roles that we see in media, for example the movie "Princess and the Frog". In the movie, one of the side characters, Charlotte is Tiana's best friend in the movie, and while her screen time is not a whole lot, it is heavily implied that her life goal is to marry a wealthy man. This movie is just one example of many that reinforce that type of stereotype of gender roles. The stereotype that a woman's goal in life is to grow up and to marry someone. That gender role stereotype can be seen in quite a few different Disney princess movies and other various movies as well. 

However, there have also been cases in which the stereotype gender roles in movies is challenged. Take for example the movie " A League of their Own", the movies is based upon the real AAGPBL or the All American Girls Professional Baseball League, which operated in the 1940's and 50's. In the movie, the stereotype gender roles are challenged as the players leave their typical roles of housewife, waitress, etc..., and they go and play Baseball. What makes it eve more unique is that it is based upon a true story. 

With so many movies, TV shows, and various other forms of media either challenging the dominant Ideology or reinforcing it I pose this question, Do you think more media know challenges that ideology or challenges it? Also, is the dominant Ideology shifting?
