I don't understand how princesses came to be the ultimate dream (although I suspect that a certain Disney corporation may have had something to do with it). Bring back Hans Christian Andersen - his stories may have been fairy tales, but the originals had a dark side to them.rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948864638172814711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22412494.post-16137880644984351392009-03-07T12:47:00.000+00:002009-03-07T12:47:00.000+00:00http://tuttomeritoaltrui.blogspot.com/2008/08/pink...http://tuttomeritoaltrui.blogspot.com/2008/08/pink-and-blue-project.html<BR/><BR/>It's definitely more pink - even since I was a little girl eighteen years ago. I hate hate hate it, because it is revolting and gendered and only creating problems for the future. One little girl is allowed to like pink, six million little girls can like pink, but what of that one little girl who doesn't like pink when everyone else "does"? Or the poor grandparents/godparents trying to find a toy that isn't pink and princessy? I know of people who had to go to the "boys' section" of toy departments to find the unisex toys like puzzles.Semaphorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621326410261033190noreply@blogger.com
