I am a woman who embraces her womanly powers. I teach my little girl cousins that there is power in being a girl. Women can be strong and feminine at the same time. While not a man, women are just as intelligent, powerful, smart, inventive and creative as men. I actually think women are smarter…. But hey that’s just me.
There is a disturbing trend that is bothering the hell outta me… and underlining the power of our baby girls. This princess crap is totally out of control. I dare you to go into the girls department of ANY store and not find something related to princesses. What happened to girl power? Disney is feeding our girls a fat lie.
WARNING: THERE IS NO PRINCE ON A WHITE HORSE. CAPTION

I am not advocating that little girls not be told fairytales…. But let them know that it is fake. There are 6,7 and 8 year old girls still talking about being a princess. First of all Disney took 80 years to produce a black princess. So that should let you know where they stand on the issue (hint, hint). Secondly, we come from a line of Kings and Queens, this princess stuff is nothing new. We come from royalty.
Sorry I digress, the problem is girls should not be fed some delusional bullshit about being dependant on a man and waited on hand and foot. Hell in most cases she will out earn the man. In today’s world it takes two incomes to run a home, ain’t no princesses in my neighborhood!
When I was a little girl, I loved me some She-Ra. Now that was the shit. She-Ra kicked ass and did it all while looking fly. You never saw She-Ra waiting on He-Man, now they may have fought together but waiting was never an option.
Instead of princess-dom, promote the girls being scientists, lawyers, doctors, presidents, CEO’s, ect.
I really have an issue with black girls imitating Hanna Montana but I will talk about her in another post
