There’s a lot of toxic masculinity within this whole universe because it’s Cars… it’s a movie stereotypically for dudes. Racing is a big boys club. And looking at Radiator Springs, it's mostly all men. Is this indicative of the whole universe?

Engineering (or breeding depending on your theology) Cars to be faster than the old models is a big arch of Cars 3. This raises a lot of questions - are there gender differences in athleticism? NASCAR is the only sport not divided by gender in the real world.

Are there sports besides racing? Can they swim? Biathlon? Can they bike? Is there testosterone?

Ms. Fritter is totally breaking the stereotype as an aggressive school bus. She’s breaking the barriers of what you stereotypically think more female cars look like. Cruz Ramirez too has a whole different character development line. She’s strong and mature. There’s also still vanity and expectation of looks within all the cars… Sally and Ramone for instance.

However, Lighting McQueen makes the same mistakes in every movie, then bounces back from them with this toxic masculinity vibe. What morals are being taught with lightning’s behavior? When is this Car going to learn??
