[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I a bad person that I have a visceral reaction when I see girls in traditional princess costumes? If they’re non-traditional like Mulan or Leia (ie people who actually DO something) I’m okay with it. Even the Frozen princesses who are so popular nowadays seem to just exist to be blonde and pretty. Btw I have a 5yo and so far we’ve been doing creative/neutral costumes like doctor or monkey, but she’s starting to get influenced by her K classmates :-/[/quote]

I don’t think you are a bad person, but it is bad. You may want to think about getting therapy to understand why it bothers you so much. [/quote]

Oh I know why it bothers me - because I respect (and want DD to emulate) people who do things rather than people who are just pretty. Same reason I prefer Elena Kagan to Kim Kardashian. But yes, I should recognize it’s a phase, likely fueled by peer pressure, and has little bearing on future interests.[/quote]

I’m no Kardashian fan, but she’s obviously doing *something* to be sitting on the financial and influential empire that she is.

Scream about feminism all you want, she figured out how to game the system. It may not be what you would have done, or what you think it should entail, but obviously, she got some things figured out.[/quote]

Jeffrey Epstein was also at the top of his financial and influential empire.[/quote]
