gender issues

In the musical, which was pretty good fyi, there were some distinctive gender roles. Of course there was the Queen as the overbearing mother who was in charge of everything and almost overly in control. You would think this was about a strong woman figure, but everyone hates her. To me this shows that women arent suposed to be powerful. They are supposed to be strong and stand up for themselves, but they arent supposed to be powerful. Winnifred is a strong woman, I mean she SWAM the moat for God sakes. But she is looked down upon by some as not womanly enough. She is not powerful though which makes her liked unlike the Queen. The King isnt allowed speak because of the 'curse' or whatever that deal was, but it represented the fact that the Queen was so overbearing. Because the Queen was such a psycho, the Prince was extremely meak. He wasn't manly! but thats why the manly Fred and the Prince made such a good couple.
