But there’s something that bothers me—I often notice that in animated films, couples are portrayed with the female character having a proportionate figure, a round head, and a pretty face with childlike features (tiny nose, huge eyes). Meanwhile, the male character often looks like some kind of mutant, with an eggplant-shaped nose, an odd-shaped head, a thin, crooked body, and an awkward lack of coordination. The female character is usually kind, sweet, serious, responsible, and organized, often working at a challenging job that she’s earned through long and diligent effort. Meanwhile, the male character simply has a “good heart”—whatever that’s supposed to mean—and perhaps some sort of inborn genius. I feel this approach is problematic, as it instills in children skewed ideas about expectations for both genders and about relationships.
By the way, in the photo, you can see the result of my long and dedicated relationship with burgers.
