    I always thought there was something wrong with ‘‘The Little Mermaid" when I

was younger. All I can remember is I really didn’t enjoy the movie and I never

wanted to watch it. At first the main character Ariel seems like a good role

model because she

. . . is indeed brave, curious, feisty, and defiant. She stands

up to her father, saves Prince Eric from drowning and stares

down great white sharks as she hunts for sunken treasure.

But her waist is the diameter of a chive, and her salvation

comes through her marriage--at the age of sixteen no less--

to Eric. (76)  Note that a long quote is indented (see p. 614 in Bedford

If the Disney people wanted to make a good role model for little girls it makes

more sense if Ariel goes to dry land because she wants to explore the land and

not to simply find a husband.


    Douglas is complaining that the media is still portraying women in the

old-fashion, stereotypical sense. Yet she goes on to portray heavy metal in the

stereotypical 1988 fashion. This is where I lose some respect for Douglas. She

is complaining about a stereotype that bothers her and then she goes and

stereotypes another group. Yes, some metal bands still depict women as sex

objects, but Douglas’s statement "little girls who all too soon will be awash in

the misogyny of heavy metal" (82), is too vague and general. Heavy Metal music

is changing because of great women such as Terri B. from Tura Satana and Karyn

Crisis from Crisis. They use the stage and the loudness of the music to express

their hatred toward sexism.
