Why So Hostile?

Why So Hostile?

When the word Feminism comes up, why do some people get so hostile? Devorah talks about her feminist-themed essay in the New York Times and how it aroused a curious reaction. She discusses the Princess movies of her childhood - the "Sleepy Trio" of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White - and how they effect girls like her own princess-obsessed toddler. Do these movies risk turning a toddler into a passive, marriage-obsessed cream puff?

Is My Little Girl a Princess Toddler?

What makes a Princess-obsessed Toddler? Devorah and her husband Matt try to figure out the origin of their toddler Mari's obsession with the color pink and princesses. They discuss how they're dealing with raising a little girl who's already clothing obsessed and question whether or not it really matters in the long run. Will a princess-obsessed toddler become an insecure adolescent? Does a Feminist need to care about the fuscia tights and magenta tutus? Should parents of Princess Toddlers be combatting this tendency, or is this something to file under 'Let it Go'?
