Professor of gender and women's studies, Susan Bordo writes how conflicting messages about masculinity are also directed at boys, and start at a young age and are seen in Disney films. In Beauty and the Beast he is initially an animal full of rage but over the course of the film he falls in love with Belle and is completely tamed. Bordo instead goes on to say that Gaston, who should be considered the "normal" man, is the real beast of the story because he has very little "appreciation for beauty (double meaning intended)". This not only shows that women face gender issues, but shows us the other side of the spectrum and that men also face issues in managing gender. Another thing to consider is how men and their bodies have been portrayed through sports over the years. When soccer became a sport, men wore little or no protection, and as the years went by they started wearing more and more and the game of soccer became more dangerous, says Charolette A. Jirousek. He also claims that their pants are now tighter and that their large pads make them look strong and tough and show off their muscles. These are two great examples of how men are seen and portrayed nowadays because they generally stereotype women, but men also go through similar moments
