Also..if you haven't read Cinderella Ate My Daughter! yet...you need to.
I don't even HAVE a girl...but I picked it up at the library one day because I was like, "Oooh. This looks interesting." and boy was it an eye opener. No wonder girls these days are so fucked up!
Here's Dan's Vulture article about his cultural references.
I think Dan is right about how difficult it is to address sexism. It is so ingrained in our culture, it is easy to take it absolutely for granted. I think there is just much more visibility with something like racism. Even if we have such a long way to go, it's out there on the table in a much more digestible fashion.
Dan mentions the gender composition of the Community writers room -- it's kind of crazy how big of a deal it was that Rick & Morty closed that gap in season 3.
Of all the foods Erin could've come up with on the spot ... Weetabix? Maybe that came from their Scottish holiday.
Womb blast ... yikes. That could use some rebranding.
Cinderella Ate My Daughter discusses some of these topics in depth -- especially where limited toys for girls are concerned.
My friend has a penis-shaped bottle opener he likes to display prominently at parties. It's good for making straight guys feel uncomfortable.
Kumail's story about showing his penis to his classmates is hilarious ... he just seemed so exuberant about it.
Tarragon of virtue, though.
Sessions since mention of skeleton army:
||||||||My daughter was into Tinkerbell for hot second when she was about two, but she's just never cared for it after that - matter of fact, she isn't into any licensed characters at all - score - because the clothes and toys and stuff are super expensive and crappy. She does have two brothers who are into Star Wars and superheroes but she never got into that stuff either.
But I definitely made room for her to be interested in them if she wanted to. It IS about choice and I agree, your parents went a bit too far, and agree with everyone else about letting her choose and stressing the good the princesses do.
That said, Moana is my favorite princess, because she's a badass, the movie isn't about her falling in love with some prince, and the music ROCKS, lol. Has she seen that one? To me it's the best 'feminist' Disney movie.
There's a great book called Cinderella Ate My Daughter that's about EXACTLY what you're talking about, a mom who considered herself such a feminist and how her daughter got into all the princess stuff. It's so good. The audio book is amazing. I highly recommend it!
Also she has an amazing book to read maybe when your daughter is older called Girls and Sex which is such a positive, feminist slant on talking to girls about sex.
