[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tremendous amount of defensiveness and projection in this thread. Not being into the whole Disney Princess machinery does not equal having a problem with frilly dresses and “girliness.” In fact, the conflation of the two kind of speaks to the success of said machinery. Also confused about how one is stubbornly and foolishly resisting The Inevitable Princessing by just... not watching a movie that, in many cases, the kid never even asks for. You MUST simply GET OVER YOURSELF and show your kid random movies you don’t care for— as if it’s actually hard work to simply... not show them to a kid who isn’t asking for them. If your kid is asking for them, well, that’s another story. But it’s totally fine for a parent not to show a THREE year old whatever they’d rather the child didn’t see... even if it’s a mild preference on the part of the parent. You don’t have to show them anything! [/quote]

Plenty of commenters in this thread have made the distinction that if you are resisting Frozen due to a principled stance against the *disney* corporate machine then that is one thing.

But, if you read the OP...in fact, it’s right there in the title...as well as several follow up posts and other posters, they are clearly talking generically about “other princess stuff.” There is absolutely a thread of misogyny in some of these posts.

And your weird decision to resurrect an old thread with your defensiveness about something that no one disagrees with you on is...interesting.[/quote]
