I’m not sure it’s subliminal. In lots of kids cartoons, the girls are presented as smart, beautiful, and competent. Many of the shows have awkward, bumbling boy characters who are manipulated or shown up by the girls.

I suppose that just mirrors the way the relationship between the sexes has been portrayed on TV aimed at adults. Seems like the 1970s is when I first started noticing commercials and programs portraying men as incompetent dolts interacting with bright, confident women.
Never have been much of a TV watcher, but I remember not liking what I saw. I am convinced now that all of this was the result of calculated efforts to undermine the family.
