grrrls are MORE than hannah montana and princesses in pink (don't get me wrong. unlike some women i DO like the color pink but i also like black as well)
boys are more than davey crockett and skateboards as well
if we keep up these separations and stereotypes we're all in for the shite.
children to have minds of their own? to NOT depend upon a prince to save them? oh, it's why can't grrrls AND boys be interested in a science show or a math show or even just a comedy show that BOTH find they like to watch? there is NO reason EXCEPT for the almighty dollar. if we allow this to keep happening our grrrls will turn into addle brained submissive women. don't you want your grrrl children to be equal to your boy children? don't you want your grrrlok for a prince to be in the picture, but NOT as a saviour, as an EQUAL

Disney is relying on her insights to create new entertainment for boys 6 to 14, a group that Disney used to own way back in the days of “Davy Crockett” but that has wandered in the age of more girl-friendly Disney fare like “Hannah Montana.” ......
