While I was thinking in this topic, I realized that the characters which I used to love and I still doing it, they’ve always had feminist ideologies or have represented a critique of gender inequality. My favorites cartoon series were and are these 90's shows: Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Rocket Power, The Wild Thornberrys, The Powerpuff Girls and Recess, all of them have strong female characters, for example Helga Pataki, Spinelli, Buttercup, Reggie Rocket and Eliza Thornberry, who were out of stereotypes, and demonstrated that they can do the same things (sports, science, leadership, etc) or even better than men.
However, there’s a lot others movies and cartoons that I used to watch, which actually are really sexist, the most clear example are the Disney princesses, when I was a child I couldn’t notice the things that they are normalizing and currently, they are still being a role model for many little girls, even when the movies show a woman who's a stereotype totally wrong.
Good example, Disney movies and its maleness approach is very far and this must be changed for the future. It is not possible.
