Do you really think that disney will make your 3 year old daughter a whore? I doubt her thoughts are "Oh she's vering a pretty dress and make-up. I must rethink my life and fuck men as much as possible" If she does it's not disney's fault but yours. Disney movies are about fantasy dreams. Like being a PRETTY princess and being saved by a hero and live happily ever after. <-------- With the same guy. Every little girl dreams about being a princess and there is nothing wrong with it!

I wonder how many women today watched Disney films. Are you saying that all these women are whores, or is Disney's attempt ineffective, and therefore is worthing blogging about? Perhaps more to the point, your premise that a woman that wears makeup and a pretty dress is a whore reflects the deficiencies you have and loathe you carry for women you who groove like you. Then again I'm a guy who watched Disney, I just must be a dumb brute, eh? This article is superflous to begin with, and it’s flamebait. I wonder how many women today watched Disney films.

The role of the helpless damsel in distress was almost a reality for women then. Girls brough up these days are surrounded by enough evidence to the contrary of the damsel issue that I believe they can take the classics in stride, take it with a grain of salt. Plus, doesn't every little girl go through a princess phase? I did, and guess what, I still have career ambitions and a strong head on my shoulders.

Lilo & Stitch: a young girl who doesn't really fit in, but also doesn't follow the rules and has quirky traits as well as an older sister who's trying to hold down a job. Mulan: A young woman who doesn't abide by traditional beauty and goes to war to uphold her family honor. Hercules: Meg, though deceitful, also shows she's no 'fair lady' and is quite self-reliant (one could argue the effect Hercules has on her, but that changes her moral choices and not her confidence) Hunchback: Esmerelda fights for freedom and justice for the lowly against a tyrannical power. Helpless, much? Pocahontas: Risks her life and goes against her father to stop a war. Since this is just a comment I'm not going to go into more specific detail, but hopefully my point is being made. And featuring "The Little Mermaid" is stopping a decade and a half early. Look at the 'Heroine' figure that follows it: Belle, someone who rejects the 'popular crowd' as it were and sacrifices her freedom for her father's. I love the snippet about the dress, though. Can parents please stop complaining and take care of their children?

Oh and sorry to spoil it but that career-minded woman? All she really wants to do is become a cartoon princess -- and she gets her wish in the end. The best thing is that Amy Adams in Enchanted has been compared with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. What was Robert's career in that film again? Oh yeah, whore.

I was a bit disappointed that you did not mention all the make up and stuff that goes along with the dress. Also to only blame Disney for making little girls into whores is kinda distorted considering you have the new line of barbies and bratz dolls. These really have no career goals except to party. Disney at least says they should get married lol. I have to agree that this is true. I was a bit disappointed that you did not mention all the make up and stuff that goes along with the dress.

I just burst out laughing in my cubicle. It's true. I think Pocahontas may have been the last film about a girl... A few years too late indeed.

Maybe it has to do with being the center of a kingdom's ardor, who knows? Right now, my daughter makes me pretend to be Shrek while she plays Fiona. Having at least a more feminist princess to rescue is the only substitute I've been able to find for princess enamor.
