The princess effect

Many young girls dream of becoming a princess like the ones they see in the disney cartoons. Many parents give into this buying them the movies, the dolls, and the costumes how ever these woman were not always the best role models for young girls. If we look back to cinderella and Ariel we see how reliant they were on men. Ariel even song her voice for a man while Cinderella had to be rescued to avoid her evil set mother. I will be the first to admit I loved the princesses as a child however know I can clearly see the message they were giving was not the right one. But recently it seems that Disney has realized this too. In the more recent movies like Brave the princess is strong and independent she even saves her mother as well as her self. She takes control of her own fate and proves she doesn't need a husband to be a princess.

Plus I also may be fond of her because she is a fellow red head! <3
