My daughter was watching Beauty and the Beast the other day.. and one has gotta wonder .. how come ..only the bad woman is ugly .. and they have got faces full of pimples.. and not cinderalla .. or barbie..that is ugly.. ??  Yes.. yes. i know they are fairy tales.. but shouldn’t they learn young . .that not everything is this perfect..?? that even fairy tales princesses needs acne treatments?  Yes.. yes.. !! i’m a silly mom.. but one can’t help .. wondering if portraying perfectly beautiful gals on cartoons would cloud their thinking.

    You’re totally right. I did a research project on this two and a half years ago, about the media’s portrayal of beauty and masculinity/femininity. It’s disturbing how even kids are affected by this; the media dictates what is pretty and what is not, and constantly bombards kids with associative references…llike how the bad guys are always ugly. It’s a shame how kids are being told what to look like and what to act like (as in…trucks are only for boys and dolls are only for girls). Mais c’est la vie…
