Comparing the stories of Snow White or Cinderella with those of Mulan or Tangled illustrates which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stories of Snow White and Cinderella depict traditional gender roles where the female lead is rescued by a prince and is expected to be beautiful and obedient. In contrast, the stories of Mulan and Tangled portray female characters with more agency and independence, yet they still adhere to traditional gender roles in some ways. This suggests that while progress has been made in terms of gender representation in media, there are still limitations and gender roles remain somewhat sexist. Choice A (that sexism has been eliminated in modern culture) and D (that reverse sexism is the current convention today) are both incorrect and unsupported. Choice B (that gender roles have not changed significantly over the past 50 years) is partially correct but does not account for some progress made in gender representation.
