Were the classic Disney princesses really just ‘waiting for a man’?

Just because they’re classics created from classics, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t analyze the messages they’re sending.

Well, I suppose it has been over 10 years since Disney actively mocked it’s classics with movies like Enchanted and Cheetah Girls (specifically, they had a whole song poking a stick at Cinderella), so that means it’s time to talk about what bad role models they are again!

Or, at least, it’s time for a new wave of news articles and Twitter-storms on the matter since a couple of celebrity moms dared discuss their parenting decisions in regards to Disney.

Now, I want to be clear up front that there’s nothing wrong with Kristen Bell and Keira Knightly having concerns. Every parent has a right to their own concern about any media being presented whether I or anyone else disagrees with them, and many, like these celebrities, do talk about their concerns with others — it’s just that these two are celebrities so when they talk about these matters, the whole world hears about it and, of course, the whole world is going to have feelings about it. I know I certainly did. That’s why I wrote this story.
