But I can change him !


 In Cinderella ate my daughter Peggy Orenstein takes a look at the girly girl culture that has captured so young girls .She talks about the Disney princesses, the stories of these princesses like belle  from the beauty and the beast tend to teach young girls the wrong lessons.  Like how the “right” women can turn a beast into a man. Many girls pick up on these messages and keep them throughout their lives. I personally know many women say “ But I can change him”. The whole but I can change him thing has become somewhat of joke put into many sitcoms and “chick flicks”.

  It is unhealthy for young girls to receive messages like this, because it tends to stick with her throughout her journey to adult hood. I think more parents need to really look at the movies and television shows they allow their children to watch. And make sure the shows are giving their children  message’s they are okay with.
