[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? Do you think that princesses or girly girls are "less than" other characters? [/quote] This was me. My daughter started to be super into princesses and pink and rainbows and all of that around 3 or 4, and I didn’t get it, and I didn’t like it. Tried to steer her away to other interests. Then I realized that it was all about me and my prejudice toward traditional “girly girl” stuff, which I had never been into as a kid or as an adult. I didn’t want to be that shitty mom who made my kid feel bad about what she genuinely liked (my mom never made me feel bad about my non-traditional choices as a kid). So I kind of gave in and indulged her, and now she’s moved on to other things. And as other PPs have noted, today’s princesses tend to be way more awesome than the ones we grew up with, and are often the courageous heroines of the stories, rather than the damsels in distress.[/quote]
