Fox and Friends, a popular morning show that that airs on the Fox News network, has finally decided to hop on the Frozen bandwagon, but probably not in the way one might think. Also, the statement released by the show could potentially be one of the most ridiculous statements about the film that have ever been made a part of public record.
According to Steve Doocy, one of the “friends” of Fox and Friends, the way Disney used this film to “empower girls” causes men to feel bad about themselves. The male character of Kristoff, according to Doocy, is foolish, and the other main male character, Hans, is evil. The female characters, though, are strong and independent, which apparently Doocy thinks is unfair.
Surprisingly, a guest on the show, Penny Nance, who is the president of Concerned Women for America, a conservative Christian group, and, by the way, also a female, agrees with Doocy. Nance takes it a step further by proclaiming that all of Hollywood, not just Disney, presents men as foolish and unnecessary.
She blathers on, stating that society needs to ensure that boys know that they are necessary, and that boys need to be empowered, not vilified. Apparently, portraying women and girls as independent and empowered is an affront to the men who are supposed to be bringing home the paycheck and taking care of their ladies.
