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.
