    Princesses are part of deeply authoritarian monarchy systems and as such should not be something we encourage young girls to aspire towards.

        @femfreq not to mention that queens are typically portrayed as evil - because they're women at the pinnacle of accepted power structures.

        @femfreq Eh, quibble here but I think most desire to be a princess is wanting to be pretty/feminine which is totally fine.

        @femfreq wonder if a "Disney Presidents" re-branding could effectively co-opt the ideal.

        @femfreq young girls (and boys) have no concept of the reality of monarchy.Royalty in children's media just represents human idealism.

        @femfreq There's also a lack of representation in princesses for girls who generally don't get to be feminine - see a lot of WoC

        .@femfreq It’s less a problem with princesses and more a problem of what a princess represents, gender-wise, to our patriarchal society now.

        @femfreq Boys don't know socioeconomic/historical implications of "knight" or "samurai", either. It's very abstract.
