The teenager seems to have replaced the Communist as the appropriate target for public controversy and foreboding. ~Edgar Friedenberg, The Vanishing Adolescent

Thought you would get a kick out of this!
Christensen is not the only one that finds issue with the way Disney perpetuates gender ideals that are harmful to both genders and create gender binaries which exclude anyone different from the norm.
It's such a struggle with disney, because on one-hand they present "follow your heart/dreams no matter what" which I think is a wonderful message for kids in general, yet they pressent it in such negative ways.
HA HA HA. I want to post this on Facebook and tag a bunch of people in it that I think could benefit from thinking about it. I love how there are little creatures IN the picture...because we all know every young woman has a team of little communicative animals to help us clean our homes and *whistle while we work.*
