Don't have time now, just want to say that that's really not what things being socially constructed is about. Pretty much any argument that blames some form of media wouldn't be taken seriously in anthro, at least. Like the time we had to read about this woman who was saying that Disney movies were sexist and this influenced our children and stuff (sadly I forget what other point she was making that would make steve's comment make more sense), and Steve was like, 'I agree with her point, but she makes it for all the wrong reasons.' And the general idea, to me at least, is that it wouldn't matter if the Disney movies were sexist if society wasn't. The influence is far more society --> Disney than the other way around. And that meaning wouldn't resonate with people otherwise. And even considering that, I mean, I prefer my childhood with the Disney movies in it, even though no one talked to me about anything in the movies. I think I turned out okay. I think people who end up being like 'omg must depend on man & internalize role' have more issues than a Disney movie could possibly give them.
