What are some sexist shows/movies?

I need to know a couple of sexist TV shows or movies towards women.
As of now I have The Real housewives of Orange County, Pretty Women, and Disney Princesses.

Housewives: Totally not real and trying to say that is all housewives do.
Pretty Women: She had to have a man to make her who she became.
Princesses: They all have a man by their side which makes them Princesses.

    Mad Men is a sexist show but that's because it was based in the 50's (I think or the 40's or 60's - not sure)

    Not sure about anything else ...

    You do not need to know a couple of sexist TV shows or movies.

    Somebody with an agenda is telling you that you need to be offended for no good reason.

    OK so you've got a Disney movie, a reality TV show, and a movie depicting a prostitution turned romance transition.

    I see you've been quite busy uncovering all of our sexist female confidence undermining propoganda messages. So we're taking it up a notch.

    BTW - there is only one female muppet and she's a snarky fat pig. Need I say more?

    the Simpson's.(the same thing)

    james bond(they are saying that men by nature are violent)

    Showgirls.

    For the poster below - Belle is into books but she is considered a total weirdo because of it. Her role in the movie is to make the beast, who is holding her prisoner ps, into a "prince". The "I can change him!" mentality that is oh so prevalent.

    Instead of going with TV shows, I'd go with commercials. They are viewed by a more mainstream and widespread audience.

    An example of a sexist theme commercials have is that they have the "smart mom, dumb dad" relationship. You can google this... I know there's plenty of info out there about it.

    Good luck hun

    I think the disney one is wrong, at least in modern times. Mu lan fought off the hans herself. Pochahontas saves john. Belle is into books. Jane ) of Tarzan) is down for living in the jungle.


    And the housewifes do that **** to themselves.

    I would say probably most action movies. Man is awesome/fights/saves the day. woman looks hot/is retarded.

    Edit : Windsir is wrong. in general but also about muppets, Janice is a girl. She plays in a rock band and says slightly raunchy things every now and again.
