Usually as infants, girls are engrossed in the "princess" culture. ]]> 2019-03-18 21:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/342627151 Size: Princess (Image) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343105526 Here are a variety of Disney's most iconic princesses. Although they appear to be of different origins, they are all quite thin. Their body types are almost identical. Including a thin waste, elongated legs, slender arms, and tiny frame. ]]> 2019-03-19 22:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343105526 A Prince's Princess (Image) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343107666 In every classic Disney Princess story, there is always a woman who needs saving. Luckily a man is there to help. These stories enforce the mentality that girls need a man to protect and save them and that having their own "Prince" is necessary for a happy life. ]]> 2019-03-19 22:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343107666 Princess Culture (Video) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343123032 This short clip explains the result of studies performed on young girls and boys.

Under the right context, little girls can imagine themselves the heroine of their own story and grow into confident young women.]]> 2019-03-20 00:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343124532 Appearance Above All Else (Video) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343127512 This video shows some statistics that were found in the Disney Princess movies. They found that from the early films, the females were complimented much more on their looks rather than skill. There has been improvement in regards to the appearance bias they so regularly include in their films, but Disney has a lot of work to do. ]]> 2019-03-20 00:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/343127512 Sweet and Passive (Image) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349270382 Not only does Disney influence how girls and women should look, but also how we should behave. A lot of the classic Disney princesses exhibit passive behaviours and encourages its viewers to be kind to others no matter how they mistreat you. In essence Disney implies to little girls that they should not stand up for themselves. Luckily, viewers have caught on to this ridiculous ideology and promote quite the opposite as can be seen in the following image. ]]> 2019-04-07 17:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349270382 Firm on Being Thin (Website) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349272324 This article delves into the issue that Disney is yet to address. Body Type. Since the rise of feminism in the 21st Century, we've witnessed Disney altering its perception of what a Disney princess should act like. The more modern princesses are brave, outspoken, and confident. Yet, Disney has not introduced a size 16 princess. The thinness represented in these women is still present - especially in its marketing.]]> 2019-04-07 17:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349272324 Cinched to Sell (Video) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349272794 The video depicts a woman, Melissa May, performing slam poetry about her outrage for Disney reducing Ursala's (The Little Mermaid's Antagonist) figure in order to sell a doll.]]> 2019-04-07 17:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349272794 Stereotypical Girls (Website) katelynn_mcaran https://padlet.com/katelynn_mcaran/n2rs4w3ikxlb/wish/349273689 A survey mentioned in the website indicates that once girls have watched a Disney movie they are much more likely to act like a stereotypical girl.
