That may be but to be a princess in the 50’s I put on a dress of my mothers and dime store jewelry. I did not look like a prostitute at age 8.

What’s new is that for the first time in history, a country’s men have allowed those emotion-over-reason ‘princesses’ to drive the political direction of the world’s superpower. And now we deal with the consequences of that superpower falling apart as a result.

Yes, we’ve always spent 10-15 grand on high school proms for our princesses.

What is funny is to look at some of those so-called “princesses” of the sixties who thought they where hot s#!t back then. Today they are fat, dumpy, dowdy, wrinkled. They began to fall apart just a few years after high school graduation.

Just think, in a few years we will see fat, dumpy dowdy TATOOED old ladies everywhere. Oh wait! I saw one not long ago! White, tall, overweight, with a trash stamp of an apple on her arm. Over the apple wat the word in big letters..”BITCH”.

Just think! She was probbly one given the “princess” treatment when young.

I agree. I think this article is silly. The “Princess” theme at least isn't necessarily sexy. Little girls are wired to want to be feminine and I'd rather see that instinct channeled into Princess-themed toys and attire than into inappropriately sophisticated clothes. Let little girls be little girls.

True, the Jewish American Princess stereotype has been with us for very many years. What's different today is that in the old days, people had to assemble the princessification package on their own, these days it's already prefabbed for them, and is completely blatant.

The Make-A-Bitch Foundation effort is in high gear. Hopefully, it will be a warning sign to the boys as they pick who to marry, and who to sleep with and dump.

Two differences, I think:

1) With smaller families, there is more likely to be only one girl to soak up all of that princessization. It’s a different dynamic altogether when you’ve got a half-dozen kids or more.

2) From the 70’s until the 90’s feminism had knocked out a fair amount of the ‘princess’ focus. It only came back into vogue over the past 15 years.

More disposable income to spend on the Princess carp, so more gets sold, and we see it everywhere!
