I scrolled through them all because I despise Fairy Tales most of the time. Entertainment purposes are okay, but I'm still running into women my age looking for their "Prince Charming" and it drives me insane. Luckily for me, my mother was a feminist (I didn't even get a Barbie until I was old enough to understand the unrealistic proportions) and the Disney version of fairy tales didn't live in our house. I think Dina is dead-on in challenging these "happily ever after" stories because, seriously, if everything was happy for everafter, we'd all be bored out of our minds... or lying.
I immdiately hit on "find better role models" too, Cinn. I really like Dina's work in this area and I'm going to send the link to two of my most annyoningly Dinsey Princessesque friends. Thanks for this!
