What a sad, sick woman.
My daughters love Disney princesses and, other than the occasional caltrop (tiny little high-heeled shoes with the heel pointing up) and having to clean up after ‘em, I don’t have a problem with it.

Of course, I’m a guy, so I might not get it...

More proof that leftists are self-hating raging lunatics.

Held somewhat captive in a “Princess” household with my 2 girls. One of the biggest things I have noticed is the de-evoltion of Disney films over the years. The earlier films (Sleeping Beauty comes to mind) are not shy of labeling good and evil, and showing the battle between the two. The newer one’s seem to have the same blurred-line thinking that so many hold today in terms of who/what is good, and evil doesn’t really exist, they are just misunderstood.

“It may be old-fashioned to say so, but sex—and especially some middle-aged man’s twisted version thereof—doesn’t belong in the pre-K playroom. Children are going to discover it soon enough, but they’re got to do so on their own. “

And by “their own” I’m sure she means the introduction of “Heather has two Mommies” and other such rubbish that they get to be taught in kindergarten (apparently the age that kids can start leaning on their own as she states)

As for dolls, I’d be more concerned with Bratz than Disney princesses.

Ehrenreich must have kissed a lot of toads that didn’t turn into princes to be that sour and bitter. Of course this article moves her up on Hillary’s list of possible cabinet members.

Let's face it, no parent can stand up against this alone. Try to ban the Princesses from your home, and you might as well turn yourself in to Child Protective Services before the little girls get on their Princess cell phones

For all her ranting, she sounds pretty ineffective and weak...Maybe she needs a man to step in and get rid of all that princess crap she bought her daughter...

>Typically, they spend much of their time in captivity or a coma, waking up only when a Prince comes along and kisses them

It's a Christian theme--
We must wait for Jesus Christ
to come and Save us,

we can't Save ourselves.
Children's old folktales taught kids
there's more to our life

than we can control.
That is a deep message and
I suspect children

growing up today
all business-like and thinking
they can run their life

themselves without help
(the "empowerment" message)
are examples of

how screwed up folks get
when they're raised on basic lies,
unprepared for life.

“Freethought Heroine” Barbara Ehrenreich
“My Family Values Atheism”
This article is adapted from the acceptance speech for the 1999 Freethought Heroine Award, presented to author Barbara Ehrenreich by the Freedom From Religion Foundation in San Antonio on November 6, 1999.

excerpt

[Sherman Logan]

Disney likes to think of the Princesses as role models, but what a sorry bunch of wusses they are. Typically, they spend much of their time in captivity or a coma, waking up only when a Prince comes along and kisses them.

In the recent Disney movie Enchanted the princess saves the hero, even swinging a sword. I'm sure she'll wind up as part of this lineup eventually.

In Princessland, the only career ladder leads from baby-faced adolescence to a position as an evil enchantress, stepmother or witch.

In Poccahontas, it was an evil fat white man.

There's a reason, after all, why we're generally more disgusted by sexual abusers than adults who inflict mere violence on children: we sense that sexual abuse more deeply messes with a child's mind. One's sexual inclinations--straightforward or kinky, active or passive, heterosexual or homosexual--should be free to develop without adult intervention or manipulation.

Somehow I doubt that the author is for teaching "abstinence only" or has EVER questioned the politics of "sex positive" education (the free love experiment).

[Pinkbell]

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Disney Princesses. With all the negative things in the world, they are something postive and decent litle girls can play with.

I can see how people might not like the Bratz dolls. There was a black man shopping in Toys R Us, and as he walked by the Bratz dolls he said, “Oh, they make whore dolls for little girls now.” He then shook his head and walked away. I don’t see a problem with them, as they are just dolls, but I can see how people do.

Dave Barry once wrote a column where he described a “Princess Themed” birthday party his daughter attended. There was a “Princess Pinata.”

My sides ached when I read how the 5-6 year olds, dressed as Princesses, complete with tiaras, took turns beating the 5 foot tall Pinata Princess. The big princess was too tough for them to take “one on one.” The mother of the birthday girl laid the pinata on the ground and had all the little princesses hit and kick her. They were still unsuccessful.

Finally the 13 year old brother was brought in. He straddled the pinata and drove the stick into it’s “face.” Once the shell was breached all of the little Princesses began tearing the pinata open to get at the loot.

It was a really disturbing read, but I couldn’t stop laughing!

Sorry, I thought this was another Disney Gay-Day announcement.

Hmmm, how to respond to this one. The author of the article is obviously a omnisexual looney. On the other hand, she's bashing Disney, one of the biggest promoters of omnisexual loonyism on the planet.

Think I'll just stay out of this catfight.
