Comment on A DISNEY PRINCESS FIRST by In-The-Machine
*after reading this entry and the comments that follow* Oh geez, here comes yet another film whose merchandise I'll be needing to dodge every time I go shopping.
Yeah, being on the feminine side, I can't help but take a little offense to the message portraying tomboys as somehow 'better' than feminine girls. Masculinity doesn't necessarily always equal 'good'. The fact that I grew up with a strongly tomboyish sister who still gets on my nerves to this day further reinforces that feeling.
Not to sound like I'm throwing my dirty laundry at you though. lol
..And yes, you're absolutely right. The concept is so no longer a 'new' one at this point. Come to think of it, not much is in this day in age regarding the media world.
