Disney’s princesses teach girls the right lessons

Via Contexts.org comes this breakdown of Disney’s princesses and the subtext behind their existences. Needless to say, the hidden messages might not be as charming as singing tea pots would lead you to believe.

As is always the case though, any time you infer too much into anything positive, it can be spun into something negative. If you look too deeply into something as wholly innocent as Winnie the Pooh, it becomes a story about an isolated child who hangs out with a gay pig and bear and a suicidal donkey along with a coked up tiger. No way that story wouldn’t end with a black trenchcoat and a depressing school assembly.

But girls should take an important lesson from Disney movies. Cruella De Vil was an upwardly mobile, successful lady. And you know where it got her? Murdering puppies. So just be pretty and nice and don’t speak up much and you’ll be fine. Unless you want to kill puppies. Every time a woman shatters the glass ceiling, a puppy dies.
