I'm not going to deconstruct Tangled...
....Because I liked it and I'm not ready to let go off all that just yet. That doesn't mean that I can't take a look at all the other Disney princesses
A couple more images and a *whole* bunch of articles can be found Here
On a (mildly) related note, I was recently directed (via pandora) to THIS SITE which seems to be an awareness site for the prevention of divorce and the continued health of of (heterosexual) marriages.
Fine and dandy (I guess) except for the fact that the site discourages women from opposite-sex friendships or forming personal connections outside of their relationship, encourages people to stay in unhappy relationships,heavily implies that parenting is an inevitable part of marriage, blames feminism for an increased rate of female infidelity, and suggests that men should buy their wives more presents to prevent it.
The best part? I quote: "Funding for this project was provided by the United States Department of Health and Human Services"
Srsly. Not only was I angry and hurt that there were no images of GBLTQ or non-traditional families on the site (pretty understandable considering it's an anti-divorce site) but I was seriously shocked by how very single-minded the whole thing was. Obviously the best way to prevent the 50% divorce rate in America (which is apparently a huge problem?) is to imply that there is a single way for couples to conduct their lives.
Also, every time pandora runs this ad it is followed by an ad for wedding rings. IDEK.
