The Aristocats includes many stereotypes about the female gender.  All the female characters, with the exception of the horse, are white in color and have prominent black eye lashes with large eyes.  This gives the females the reputation that they are innocent and pure.  Marie, one of the kittens, is saved by Thomas O’Malley twice.  The first accident occurred when she fell off the milk truck and the second occurred when she fell into the river from the train viaduct.  Her helplessness in both situations gives females in general the stereotype that they always need help from men.  Marie reinforces the stereotypes upon the females in the movie when she tells her brothers that ladies go first through the door and ladies do not start fights, but they can finish them.  It might be polite and respectful for ladies to go through the door first in American culture, but this is not always true in other cultures.  

Marie also gushes over O’Malley’s compliments to her mother.  The two brothers say, “That’s sissy stuff,” and ignore the flirting.  The male kittens are taught to be tough and to keep their emotions inside themselves.  Toulouse tries showing O’Malley how tough he is when he hisses. 

Hypermasculinity is forced upon the male kittens so they are able to take care of the damsels in distress.  During the jazz breakdown at O’Malley’s place, all the cats are dancing and hyper.  Duchess breaks up the scene when she starts playing a harp, and the cats mellow down to listen to her play.  The male cats are in awe of her talent and watch her strum the harp.  It seemed confusing to have a harp in O’Malley’s place where all of the Scat Cats’ instruments were made from pieces of garbage.  The males admired her beauty and the music she played.
