This is a great feminist analysis of something people tend to take for granted in our culture, i.e. the “princess” construct.
On this blog, I normally weed through overt, ridiculously sexist, backward views to sometimes see a funny or interesting post. Today, you’ve posted something that diametrically opposes many of your “Women are so X, and men are so Y, hahaha!” posts. Good for you!

Well I too weed through this blog looking all those things that disagree with my politics sexual or otherwise because it just makes my life so gosh darn fulfilling! Lol.
What’s that old joke? What do you call two feminists changing a light globe? Feminist : That’s not funny!
Am thinking of Borat now when he interviewed one of the flannel shirt brigade : “But I had no time to listen to this little old man!”

I love the Disney Princess movies, as do my kids, but this is still hilarious and so very true!

And then, when these princesses and buff guys are married and ‘live happily ever after’, the world turns and the women turn into cruel step-mothers and witches, while the men turn into helpless things who don’t parent at all.

And look at the change in body type as well, Snow White was a fuller figured girl, even her arms, waist and face are fuller than the other, stick like girls? They all look like Posh with huge heads and tiny bodies. Interesting post!

I think Kristina’s post is deadly accurate. Most important is the fact that Disney is a sacrosanct archetype of ‘family-friendly’ content. Gender roles are changing but the social content we feed ourselves and our children send duplicitous, confusing messages.
