      I think some people are overreacting to Keira Knightley saying she has chosen films for her 3-year-old daughter in which women have strong roles and rejected ones in which they are passive. I don't know any of her other views on gender issues which could be awful but this is OK.

      I am an extremely liberal parent and have not banned my daughter from watching anything really since she's been old enough to know what she wanted to watch but before then I certainly directed her to the kind of stuff that encouraged toughness, independence and resilience.

      This is mostly because they are much more fun but also because I always liked the "Sisters are doing it for themselves" feminism & not the "Sisterhood is dead now coz intersectionality & women are passive victims of everything & can't be expected to cope with words & stuff.'

          Yeah, but the Snow White thing is kind of ridiculous.

          I agree. I believe in discussion, not censorship, when it comes to tough issues. You can’t prevent your children from seeing the world but you can help them contextualize it, and as a parent, that’s what you should be doing.

          I've always been interested in folklore and folklife. Of interest wrt Cinderella is that it's a morality tale, and the particular morals it emphasizes are way out of favor these days; I would say they're emphatically out of favor the further left one goes.

          Honestly, one of my big concerns about things is how the former when it comes face to face with a dash of failure can morph into the latter. I actually tend to support the former as well, but I think there's a certain needle to be threaded there.
