pywacketI was getting the Bean some new PJs since she's shot up, oh another 4 feet from last year or something.
Pretty purple pair, but it says "The princess waited in the enchanted forest for her prince to come."
And I thought, "screw that, oh no she won't, she'll move to San Francisco or New York and go to college."
Needless to say I didn't buy the pjs.
Why do we start giving girls these messages so early? Why do we put these ideas in their heads EVER.
That's just deeply wrong.

Date: 2005-05-25 06:43 pm (UTC)Despite having inundated Fiona with alternatives to the traditional fairy tale, she LOVES the whole princess being rescued scenario (Marion is more into being a monster who eats people at the moment, go figure). I think some of that is programmed in... or maybe it's from school, but it amounts to the same thing.
keep fighting the good fight!!
