Hi can someone proofread my introduction to a 7 page essay regarding Gender roles and Disney movies?

Question

Gender Stereotypes

Society affects how the children of today perceive gender roles. From a very early age, the basic rules of membership are taught as girls are typically given pretty dolls to play with while boys are given G.I. Joes. In addition to these toys, children watch a lot of television which includes a variety of cartoons including the popular films of Disney such as Snow White, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Because children experience a limited amount of entertainment outside the home, they are easily consumed by mass media such as viewing these popular Disney films as they are fun to watch and easily understood. Although Disney films continue to be popular among children and families for many generations, these animated films tend to show gender stereo types and present an idea that the roles of women and men are not what they appear to be in society today. In these beloved fairy tales, female characters are usually increasingly beautiful and helpless, dependent, just waiting for her ‘Prince” to come and rescue her, while the characters are typically aggressive, bold, brave, and heroic, fighting to save the day. What messages do these sorts of representations send to young children? What kinds of hopes and dreams have society help programmed them to desire? What if Cinderella picked up her own shoe? Would it have mattered then if princesses took matters into their own hands? While some cartoons may have a positive effect on young children, others have a negative effect causing boys and girls to have false perceptions of the real world when it comes to gender roles despite how ‘magical’ the films appear to be.

The last sentence is my thesis. I would like to talk about how Disney films portray female and male characters in their movies. Females are normally feminine, homemakers, beautiful, and males are normally masculine, heroes, out to save the world.
