Bad stereotype for women of all ages...
Just watched this and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
This movie teaches women that you'll have a crap life until some super rich and handsome guy comes along and NOTHING else will do.
It teaches women to believe in a psychotically high standard they can't possibly get.
It also teaches them that other women are treacherous scum bags who will slit your throat to get the same man as you.
It teaches them that it has to be love at first sight, it cant grow naturally informing women that unless they orgasm on sight he's not the right one for you
Does this help explain the dismissive attitudes of modern women? Look at the dating websites around and see the lines women have 'Looking 4 white knight, looking to be swept off my feet.'
The same could be said for Sleeping beauty.
A modern day version of Cinderella is just Pretty woman, same deal, beautiful girl falls in love with the super rich good looking hero whilst most other women of similar stature treat her like crap.
Is this the same reason most women seem to hate and suspect their stepmother because of Disney? God knows I've seen enough of this in my time.
These seem to be movies all women watch as a kid or teen, including something like say Dirty dancing.
A mousy girl who is swept away by Patrick Swayze more programming that does seem to stick with women, you cant settle for anything less than either a super rich handsome man or handsome talented, dancing bad-boy.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a sexist and I'm sure there will be male versions of this but this does explain a lot in my view.
Rant over.
