I have to chime in here. I grew up in a house of 3 girls, 1 younger brother. Raised 2 girls (19 and 25), now raising a 7 year old girl.

My 19 year old pointed out that why do we have easy bake ovens for girls and not for boys, good point kiddo!

Disney is out there, the mass media of it all. They send you stuff to your home, they own various TV stations, etc. They have an obsession with stories of young innocent princess girls, no moms, kinda dumb dads, marrying some prince guy. Not real life.

There are princess parties, everywhere too. People make a big deal out of 8th grade graduation, like it is wedding! And let's forget the prom's, or what about that TV show about super rich spoiled girls having sweet 16 parties.

I believe that as a parent you can and should supervise what your child, boy or girl is exposed to. Saying that I realize you can not control everything but must with firm and loving guidance provide them with an environment that shows them ALL aspects of life and it's opportunities.

My two cents over and out.
