I aint No Princess

I personally am not a Disney Princess fan. ( with ONE exception)
look at the picture above

you have Sleeping beauty- stowed away waiting for Prince Charming
Jasmine- an alienated princess not allowed to look around her kingdom without a prince.
Belle- she wasnt really a princess but she was outcasted and then stowed into a castle only to find out her captor is a prince in disguise.
Cinderella- MY LEAST FAVORITE- she was a slave and was transformed for a Ball and then had to wait for her prince.
Snow White- again the abandoned princess run out of her home and fed a poison apple waited for her prince.
Ariel- she wanted legs so she could snag a prince....

what lesson is disney teaching young girls?

Be a Good Little girl, be sweet and kind keep your opinions to yourself ( Unless of course you want to sing to forest wildlife who will haronize with you)
you do as your told and wait until Prince Charming comes for you.

UM NO That wont fly with me.

I say Mom's with little girls teach them to reach for the bigger picture to be the hero, that the role of the woman isnt to be the victim to wait for her Knight in shinning armour.
NO way.
I say teach girls to speak up and to play " Boy " games.
Teach all little girls that they are EQUAL to men, stand up againt films like these and say
" No thank you"
I am not saying dont allow your child to own a Barbie or a Princess doll... But teach them that they should be the Giselle in Enchanted...
the ONLY Princess I love!



Teach her to be pretty, but smart. Teach her to be able to fend for herself and not rely on 7 dwarfs or a " Fairy Godmother" Teach all young girls to be their own hero.
Teach them to FIGHT the monster not to wait for their " prince" to learn how to be on their own first to live first!

I have two boys as you all know, but I also know I am tired of " Princess" crap everywhere.. stop glorifying women in the backseat, and let us be women and not delicate princess's anymore
