Mulan kind of made a point of showing that she didn't fit in with traditional, wifely femininity OR with the world of "manly men" and for that reason it's really the only typical "strong female character" story I can relate to. Not that there's anything wrong with a female character just being more masculine and not fitting in for that reason, but the nice thing about this was that it poked fun at the ways that both traditional masculinity and femininity can be enforced in oppressive, restricting, anti-intellectual ways (like the fact that the men all attack the pole in the same way in the "I'll Make a Man Out Of You" scene, and Mulan is successful because she approaches it differently- uses her brains, not her physical strength), and idk, I'm not much of a tomboy so Mulan's inability to fit in with the men made it easier for me to relate to her.

idk, basically what I'm saying is that Mulan was about how traditional femininity values looks and traditional masculinity values strength, but Mulan valued brains and heart, and that's why she succeeded, which has absolutely nothing to do with the comment I'm replying to which means it's time yet again, boys and girls, for Katie to stfu.
