About the first paragraph on people hating upon princess culture aimed towards girls. Well, when I was young, I grew up under the image of the "princess warrior", so.... Not all princesses need to be rescued (but it's good to have a sidekick ♥).

omg, let kids be kids! If a little girl wants to be the princess who gets rescued by a handsome prince, NOBODY should stop that? Why do you have to force responsibility, feminism and all those grownup b******t onto a child???? I grew up playing with barbies, I have never had irrational beauty standard! I loved Disney movies, I didn't grow up waiting for a prince on his white horse! And im sure im not the only person with normal innocent childhood, that is not affected by stupid negative s**t they try to apply on those things nowadays! Lots of adults like to do stupid things and blame it on their childhood, just because they couldn't face the fact that they f****d up and made mistakes in their adult life.

Liking pink or blue doesn't mean you consider yourself a boy or a girl, people can like whatever colors they want. My favorite color has changed numerous times over my life. What's unfeminist, (or un-humanist? however you want to put it) is denying the choice to people because society decided this generation around pink is now for girls and no longer for boys and particularly that pink is for "submissive girls" or "aggressive boys". It's gone back and forth people.

That's a excellent idea. Making kids more assertive and raising future leaders

Oh, I've seen this before! Makes me smile every time.

I mean, the first few Disney Princess movies were straight up stereotypical in the way they portrayed women, but soon as movies like The Little Mermaid and Mulan came around, I don't think the Disney Princess culture has been restrictive in anyway, much less toxic. Excellent parenting idea by the way (will hopefully use in the future).

How come there are so many negative comments? Did you not read what he does? Was it just a gut reaction to seeing something about girls wearing pink and you got into defense-against-militant-feminists mood automatically? This father is having tea with his princess, discussing the important developments in the realm. I find this marvellous!

This all makes no sense to me.

I don't think I've ever been called a princess in my life D: I don't mean my parents didn't love me, it's just not much of a thing here I guess. Now I almost feel left out xD

I think this dad is kind of missing the point about why girls want to dress up as princesses. It’s because it’s magical and beautiful and in your mind you can live in a castle and ride a poney and have an aladin’s cave of treasure and adventures and boss everyone about. If you wanted to have a fantasy about being a local councillor you’d dress up in a baggy suit.
