Disney XD - how they portray women and girls is so wrong

They all seem to be squeaky high pitched obsessed with looks and boys on all the programmes.

Zeke & Luther, Good Luck Charlie, My Babysitte is a Vampire, So Random etc. The channel is aimed at boys 8 upwards, I know it's American hence the squeaky high pitchness, but do they really talk like that in real life? I really want to know!

But why do all the girls have to be thick? Zeke and Luther is the best of the lot, at least it's funny!

I saw some phinias and fern (? Sp) and was shocked by a girl character saying she mustn't eat on a date or the boy would think she was disgusting.
I saw the whole episode and at no point did this 'miscobception' get addressed or corrected. Hmm

I watch too much Disney so I'm up for thinking about some Disney girls. Zeke's sister Ginger is always power dressing and running business schemes. Bailey, on Zac and Cody, is smart and fixes tractors, whenever she tries to be untrue to her smart self things go wrong for her. London on the same show is stupid and lazy, I like how she busts the hard-working, good at Maths Asian stereotype. Girls on Mix It Up think more about progressing their dancing careers than boys. Good Luck Charlie, the mum is insane, aggressive and overly-competitive, I like how she is not a nurturing or fun-killing stereotype.

As for squeaky voices, I think it's a lot to do with being young actors and over-acting. Demi Lovato has quite a low voice for a teenage girl.

I hate the whole disney girl thing Hannah Montana YUCKY horrible creature , all that hair bouncing and flicking from disney girls really get my goat , even the nerdy girls flick their hair about and simper after boys , My dds love it though , but they dont really take insperation from hair flicky giggly girls , I think adults think to much about it tbh
