After all, I loved the movies and turned out pretty independent and a supporter of feminism. What I don't like is how ubiquitous the marketing is now. It's not just a cute kids' movie, it's a lifestyle. Even the toys that could be gender-neutral like a science kit get the princess treatment with plenty of pink and sparkly elements.<BR/>Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11721757410250635030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-60829083202206579792008-12-06T12:11:00.000-06:002008-12-06T12:11:00.000-06:00honestly I think not letting your daughter wear pi...honestly I think not letting your daughter wear pink or watch Disney or dress like a princess is the same as some not letting their boys play with dolls or play pretend kitchen. <BR/><BR/>What you teach your children goes sooo far beyond pretending to be a princess.Mojavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560029907723621747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-34850298072181178142008-12-05T21:55:00.000-06:002008-12-05T21:55:00.000-06:00do you mean to tell me we are suppose to decorate ...do you mean to tell me we are suppose to decorate a tree without screaming and yelling at one another to do it right? because girlfriend, that's how it is done in this house......<BR/><BR/>While I'm here, I"m going to shamelessly beg you to come participate in my christmas give away and to invite your readers to come to...I know, I'm mumbling, I'm embarrassed, but I really want you there......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-30607411702681171832008-12-05T19:40:00.000-06:002008-12-05T19:40:00.000-06:00Good for you!
