The Influence Of Physical Romance In Disney Movies

In today’s modern world sex, affection, kissing, etc., are shown to all ages through movies and the internet. Disney movies create an unrealistic view on relationships physically, while the media condemns those without “attractive features. To complicate matters, porn becomes mixed into the teenage population as their hormones start to change them. With so many influences on young adults, the once reasonable view of physical romance has become clouded by delusions shaped by fantasy. Popular culture shows physical romance as something perfect and realistic to society’s standards, but the reality of physical romance is that it is flawed and society’s view on physical romance is idealistic. There are several assumptions created by movies

Men provide the food, the shelter, the money, etc. However, times have changed and so have the rights of women. This allows women to do the same things men do now; like getting a job, making money, providing shelter, etc. Yet, the media assumes that the man is still the dominate partner in the relationship. This assumption is considerably false, based both on examples from history and examples today. Emma Goldman’s “Marriage and Love” explains how marriage and love back in the 1800s didn’t go together. Goldman also explains how women are kept ignorant on their most powerful tool over men, sex. Goldman writes “The prospective wife and mother is kept in complete ignorance of her only asset in the competitive field---sex” (Goldman, 306). Sex is one of the most controlling activities in the world. There are people who sell sex, withhold sex, manipulate sex; sex is something that can control any creature. History shows so many examples of sex controlling men, even dating back to ancient Greece with the play Lysistrata. There are cases of these strikes even in the 21st century. In 2011, villages located on the Mindanao island in the Philippines withheld sex until the men would stop fighting and blocking the roads. (Smith). Within weeks, the main roads were reopened so that the women could deliver their sewn goods. Women in Barbacoas, Columbia held a sex strike until the dangerous roads were fixed, which worked quite well in 2013

Disney shows that relationsips are perfect with just a kiss and its happily ever after. Reality shows that a relationship needs more than a kiss, and sometimes even more sex like in Tim Gunn’s case. The assumption that a man dominates a relatipnship is wrong. Examples from Columiba and the Philipines shows that wokmen withholding sex can make a man do what the women want. Even David Rothenberg says, “So the females, in most examples of sexual selction, call all the shots” (Rothenberg). Which leads us the the assumptiosn that society like to faovr mind over body. In reality, humans are still part of the animal kingdom and start relationships based off of physcail looks. Physcial looks and the relaity of sex are alter and wearped by porn, creating a false vision of a physical relaionship. These physcial relationships alter the romance of a relationship or completely remove the raomcne from sex (Tuohy). Therefore, Disney forgets the more intimate problems of a relationship while also showing the majority of relastionships being male domanited. This is false due to the sex strieks women hold to gain what they want from men. Thus, women will sometiems use sex to hold power over men. Women also hold some power over evolution, pickinhg partners by sexual attractions rather than natural selction. Porn waprs this idea of sexual attraction into something violent and soemthing fantstic. These standards
