Jinn, due respect, but that video is a load of crap on so many levels it should be discounted out of hand. There are so many misinterpretations and distortions that it would take far more time than it's worth to debunk them each, so I'll just take the one that misses the point entirely:
The three soldiers from Mulan singing about a girl worth fighting for: These characters are clearly buffoons, comic relief, and their professed desire for subservient women serve as a foil for one of the main themes of the movie - women are equal to men. Those same three characters appear dressed as the women they find worth fighting for later in the film.
Pulling that out and using it as evidence of sexism is the sort of out of context shenanigans I would expect from Carl Rove.
