[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? Do you think that princesses or girly girls are "less than" other characters? [/quote]

Because more often than not, they are made out to be "less than" in qualities. There are plenty of things not so right with them, it's not rocket science, it's a simple question that OP asked. of course, they are getting better at including diversity - in terms of race and qualities. Otherwise, most of the princesses are white and thin. And most of the time is spent in singing, looking for a prince and dressing up. And then there is the consumerism side of it and how they are marketed for girls. Most of them are really soft and pretty and not strong and intelligent. And of course, by the virtue of being a princess, they are backed by the wealth, power and if nothing else, then a fairy got mother.

I don't fight it with my kid, but I don't encourage it either. No Elsa doll or a Frozen-themed birthday party for her. But I don't judge other parents who do, because every kid perceives these things differently and if it makes life easier for parents then so be it. But I am sure there are plenty of parents who aren't on the princess boat. [/quote]
