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

I found it quit ironic they used Mulan as an example of Disney perpetrating sexism also.
Then they use Beauty and the Beast as an "example" of how important it is to be "barrel chested and wash board cut" in order to get the girl.
I'm pretty sure the hideous monster got the girl in that one...
Seriously, I thought that video was posted as a very dry joke...
