Whether its old Disney brainwashing girls into socially conservative gender roles or new Disney brainwashing them into feminism.

The solution for people who complain about these things is always to stop showing certain things rather than encourage agency &individuality
-
If you feel a social pressure that you don't like, don't do it. No, that's not always easy but the alternative is changing everyone else.
-
I'm talking abt social pressure to do things that must be a choice for other ppl like having babies, wearing make-up, being a feminist.
-
Someone just asked me what is a person to do if refusing socially conservative gender roles loses her her family? Be sad? Lean on friends?
-
Unclear what other solution there is. Make your family, community stop being socially conservative? Somehow turn the social pressure round?
-
Or alternatively ppl who have told me they now feel society devalues them as a stay-at-home mother coz feminism such a strong cultural force
-
The sense of having been wronged by this pressure seems to imply some kind of social adjustment required. Society must share my values more.
-
In fact, it doesn't have to. It just has to give you the right to live according to them and also make arguments for them.
-
Then you really need to find like-minded ppl for your social support & cultivate resilience to being exposed to other ideas.
-
I don't think we do too badly here, really, re: gender roles. There are plenty of role models consistent with traditional & non-conforming.

tell that to every fay boy who got beaten for it repeatedly in primary and secondary school.
-
Are gay boys suffering violence likely to be very sympathetic to ppl whining abt there being too many princess movies or feminists?
-
Or are they more likely to be concerned about the bullying and violence they are suffering? You keep deliberately missing my point.
-
anyone who's part of the growing group that doesn't conform to old norms has a reason to want media to diversify along with them

I don't necessarily disagree but not everyone is strong enough to withstand societal pressure. Particularly young people
-
No, they're not. This is why it's *so* important to have loads of ppl advocating resiliance rather than despairing &succumbing to victimhood
