Misogyny

Encouraging rape
One scene that bothered one of the young viewers was when Potty, one of Danny's friends at T-Birds, lay on the floor to look under the skirts of two high school students.
Other viewers have complained about the words Did she put up a fight?
(Did she try to fight?) In the song Summer Nights, when Danny describes how he seduces Sandy.
"So it turns out that Grease is a bit of an incentive to rape," one shocked viewer wrote, adding that "he is misogynistic, sexist and encourages rape."
Slat shaming
Sensitive viewers also criticized the female characters in the film.
Rizo was accused of bullying Sandy in the song Look At Me I'm Sandra D.
Others claimed that Rizu went through a "slat shaming" for her decision to have sex with various men, especially when she agreed to have sex with a T-Bird friend without contraception.
After thinking she was pregnant, she was confiscated, prompting a character, played by Stocard Channing, to sing about her condition: 'There are worse things I could have done than go with a man or two.'

Homophobia
Critics also raised an eyebrow at the statement of Vince Fontaine, the radio announcer who hosted the high school dance competition.
When the character flirted with Marty, he told all the dancers that there are no same-sex couples on the expanse.
Still, the plot of the film takes place in 1958 - 45 years before homosexuality gained legal status across the US.
Well Grease, homophobia is celebrating. "Another added:" Grease excels in homophobia.
Too bad".

Another added: 'I watched Grease on BBC1.
I was surprised it went smoothly.
Full of white people. "
The film Grease received the current A or PG rating (recommended parental supervision when watching) with a warning against exposure to inappropriate language and references to sex. A film and a fun and light-hearted story, and I never took it too seriously. "
