A new study flips the script on previous research about kids addicted to Disney princess movies, dolls, and memorabilia. They don’t, as parents previously worried, turn girls into stereotypically weak females. In fact, the new data indicate that little girls who loved Cinderella and Belle grow into more egalitarian, stronger 10-year-old girls than their non-princess addicted peers.

Scott, you brought tears to my eyes talking about how you treat your wife and other people, especially children in costume. You are an absolute joy!
well sense Bill mentioned Red Letter Media. You should go check out their newest video. It came out today and you can tell from the opening skit how tired they are with all the mask mandates and vax wars.
Why conduct such a study could it be that the ones doing the study were the ones who were disappointed and felt the need to extract revenge?
Children are little sponges. They soak up all they see and learn as much by observing as they do by being told or taught. That is why it is so important for parents to set the example for their kids. Our sons learned how to treat their dates, and ultimately their future wives (like me, they each are still married to their first wife) by how their mother and I treated each other. They learned how to interact with others by how we interact with others. I have been told by people that they can tell my sons are mine because they walk just like I do. I consider that a compliment. But even more so, I consider it the ultimate compliment to their mother and me when we see how they are raising their children, our grandchildren. That tells us that we must have done a good job as parents. We only get a short amount of time with our children when they are children. Today’s parents need to spend more time with their children and less time with their electronic devices. Too soon the time will come when your children are grown and if you don’t pay attention and enjoy the time you have with them, you will miss out on their childhood.
If I had a child who uttered the phrase “gender emergency,” I would find out who warped him with such PC brainwashing then make sure to never let him anywhere near such a malevolent abuser ever again.
If you have young children, you should take a look at the TuttleTwins website. They teach kids about democracy and loving out country. You can find it here: https://tuttletwins.com/
The dangerous thing to think is we are not biologically different. Boys and girls are very much so, and no matter how some try to make it , we are. What a beautiful mix it can be , with all the difficulties and adjustments it takes for the sexes to blend, with some considerable effort we can come to be a complement to each other. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing a man and woman come to a place of understanding, love and respect of each other in spite of their differences concerning their outlook on life and relationships. Much of this requires leaving your ego in the background and putting the other first, something that humans are not naturally prone to, and so we have a very high devorce rate…it does not have to be so. How you were raised has much to do with this, and what you witnessed in your upbringing. If you saw love and respect, mom and or dad leaving for work everyday and staying engaged with you throughout your childhood, you will probably want to emulate that behavior. If not, all bets are off…you will probably learn your behavior from the streets, from others that also did not have a solid home, and this is distructive. We are seeing this in so many ways throughout society, and it is truly sad.
Thanks to the 3 of you for once again stimulating my brain cells. What I must also add is the importance of “character”, that really only comes from family. And, with that comes respect. Both of which are underneath the continual message from The Right Angle. Scott’s summation at the end one, was one of his best! And, it IS truly amazing what the Left finds to attack, but, then sick minds are just that..SICK!
Another excellent close, Scott. Thanks.
I, too, am one of those anachronistic fellows from a bygone era who holds the door open for everyone. I have never had a woman look at me like she was thinking, I can open my own door, brute. Everyone just smiles and says “Thank you!”. It is a lovely place to live, especially when we can see people smile again.
The amazing presumption that girls acting like girls and boys my acting like boys is somehow a problem and also that’s the purpose of everything is to push progressive values. Right on Bill, leftists are nuts.
My daughters grew up on disney princesses, beginning with Ariel, then a step backwards to Cinderella, and then on to Belle. I think it was Beauty and the Beast where I really to thinking about characters like Gaston. Gaston had it all, money, looks, body, strength, everything…including lack of intellegence, humility, and introspection. He was boorish, a creep, and danced along the razors edge of being a sexual preditor.
Back then, watching BATB with my daughters over ..and over…and over again, I really began to think about the “Gastons” of this world and how I’d never ever want my daughters to date or marry one when they grew up. While I was always thinking of this, my daughters were always saying, “I don’t like Gaston..He’s baaaaad, and stupid”.
You can’t say it now with today’s Disney, but to the Disney of old….
…thank you.
As for me, in 1969 I was 11 years old. I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with my friend and his dad. We must have seen that movie in the theaters 15 times that summer. My friend and I knew the dialog, all of it.
I wanted to have a horse, shoot as fast and accruately as Sundance, and always be nice when robbing trains, like Butch was. These were men, big men, even bigger than life on horseback. Even at 11 years of age, I knew they were flawed, they robbed people, they did some bad things, but that’s not what we enjoyed, it was the banter, the drama, the wild west…
Had George Roy Hill cast two 11 year olds instead of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, I’d never have looked up to 2 kids of my age.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie but didn’t end up being a train robber or gunfighter. I also grew up on George Reeves Superman, and campy Batman, and Spiderman cartoons. Loved them all. But I can’t imagine I’d have watched more than one episode of SuperKid, BatKid or SpiderKid.
Bill’s right. Just a few years later, I wanted to be grown up Han Solo. When you’re a kid, you look up, not sideways. I really don’t think that’s changed.
Amen my brothers. And thank you
Wow, little girls gravitate towards and are well served by distinctly feminine female role models. The exact thing that nature drives 99.x% of females to in the first place. Somehow, amazingly, this does more good than harm by an astoundingly wide margin.
Who’d woulda ever thunk that?
Expanding on something Bill said — A little girl in a princess outfit doesn’t just make her feel special, it reminds us all that little girls are special.
Seeing a little boy emulate a hero in a Spiderman or Batman outfit is just as special, but in a masculine way. Little boys do not fight and die to defend their society but they grow up to do so and this is where it starts. I’d say that’s pretty damn special if you asked me.
Seeing how Prince Charming adores and treats Snow White as the greatest treasure in his life, more valuable to him than even his kingdom, is a behavioral cue. He may wear a sword, a breastplate and ride a war horse but the weaponry and armor are there to protect his family, not to use against them.
Bills right, anyone who is in any way trying to short circuit these sorts of messages is insane. I’ll even go him one better than that, they’re enemies to humanity.
Nicely said, lads.
My wife is Belle. Nothing timid, weak, or irrational about her, just as with Belle. As for me, well, I’m the Beast. Go figure.
Sounds like a good match.
well…there’s no question that the world needs stronger women in order to take down the patriarchy that is destroying everything that women built up over the millenniums.

Didn’t I watch a BW rant sometime about how horrible the Princess’s song is in Frozen? Is there any reason to be concerned about more recent Disney (or any Hollywood) movie teaching girls “wrong” things from our perspective? (Like that 95-pound women can beat up 250-pound thugs?) Or does imagination take care of it?
I remember reading the introduction to Ender’s Game which Card wrote for the 20th (or something) anniversary of the publication of the book. He said there was a backlash when the book was published, mostly from “experts” in child development, particularly “gifted” children (psychologists or whatever) complaining that the book didn’t reflect “how gifted children’s minds work,” or some such nonsense. But the reaction from actual children, and people who actually remembered what it was like to be a child, was the opposite. Card nailed it, and the “experts” were wrong about everything.
My dad had a saying that covers the “experts” failure phenomena well …
“An expert is just a drip under pressure.”
Every time I have approached the idea that I have become an expert at something my dad’s words come back to me. Because he was right, it’s not good to think you know all there is to know about anything. In fact, I have discovered in my life it’s not only not good, sometimes it’s downright dangerous.
I have learned that being an “expert” at something frequently requires one to know, and admit, that there is much you don’t know.
Said in another way, for the very few topics about which I could be considered an “expert”, the amount of tonnage that I don’t know on that topic is more than could be lifted by a Saturn V.
When I managed groups of engineers, I often told them that “I don’t know” is an acceptable answer; and a much better answer than trying to BS me. The best answer is “I don’t know, but I will find out.” In that direction lays progress.
My experience in IT is similar to yours as an engineer. People seem to think an IT guy just knows everything about computers. We don’t, it’s a huge field. So what I would say is —
“I don’t know but I do know where to look for the answers and how to apply them once I have them. That’s what you pay me for.”
SSDD, which in this case means “Same Situation, Different Dialog”.
