I used to watch the Princess Diaries films when I was younger, and I never realized that they fit the stereotypes before you mentioned this in your post. You included some great examples, and I also agree with what you wrote about the pressures of society. Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261460687431895069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716734351025759629.post-36578856726081267012013-10-20T17:58:50.061-07:002013-10-20T17:58:50.061-07:00You make a good point with the Princess Diaries. I...You make a good point with the Princess Diaries. It's evident that society doesn't value a woman's intellect if she doesn't have a sex appeal appearance to her. Take Sarah Palin for instance. When she was a Vice President candidate for the oval office, she was extremely "sexed up" in order to appeal to male voters. In reality she didn't need all of that if she was elected a governor in Alaska. And when they don't appear as an ideal "trophy wife" they are ridiculed for being too serious. Take Hilary Clinton for instance... I can on and on but the Princess Diaries triggered something. Lol.Thanks for sharing<br />--<br />Julie Julie Merlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841237701511229836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716734351025759629.post-24368586752287220532013-10-20T13:24:56.196-07:002013-10-20T13:24:56.196-07:00Cathy,
I agree with you I am upset about Princess ...Cathy,<br />I agree with you I am upset about Princess Diaries too, movies that we thought were beating the stereotype only emphasized it more. Even in the picture you posted look how bad they made her look before her "makeover". That is such a confusing message to kids that we tell to be themselves.<br />ShanelleShanelle Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805068627040518805noreply@blogger.com
