For as long as i can remember the story started with a women or a girl if you must, Castle , slaves , finest materials , perfect waist, gorgeous Locks, tiny feet, Rosy cheeks- all the shoes and clothes a girl could want and lets not forget (animal helpers especially to help with the chores ...)
But somewhat still incomplete... unfulfilled, not perfect , incomplete that is - until prince charming rides in on his white horse and they live happily ever after - two words BS!
Not only have we been fed this BS from childhood, it continues in romantic comediess and FULL on romance block busters, yeah so the knight doesn't have a horse and he may be bald- but the sporty red (insert any colour) vehicle his driving while tearing up the world to save his princess, will suffice.
All this spoon feeding makes me wonder:
"how on earth women have come this far without series issues?"
and then secondly just how
"unrealistic are our expectations of the "perfect partner? "
In all honestly the concept of a princess kissing a frog to turn him into a prince for me is just to closely related to lowering the self, putting yourself last and settling, what ever happened to choosing substance in a man over materialism.
I promise you his great body, strong arms, features and bank account will NEVER be able to suffice if he is not a man off substance.
Thirdly-
- I just need to state that finding a man does not mean your story ends..
- Nor is it an automatic qualifier for a happy ending\
- Not finding a man doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you,
- It simply means that you are kissing to many frogs, letting them have there cake and eat it to and ignoring the princes out there.
- Lastly don't you dare tell anyone you wanted to be treated like a princess by your Mr. Right if you are not treating your self as one.
It should merely compliment you like a new fendi bag, killer heels or little black dress, in the sense that taking these off, or choosing your self enrichment will not make you an less worthy.
- You don't need to sleep for hundreds of years and put your life on hold until true loves kiss arrives,
- You don't need to be afraid cause you fell in love with what your parents or society may deem a pauper
- You don't have to have seven men (dwarfs) look after you - you can fend for yourself.
- if the shoe doesn't fit- get a bigger size
Kiss dragons and hope for princesses
Stick around if they don't like your evil step sisters or mothers
Obsess with a mirrors opinion on themselves
So why the hell should you?
Your thoughts ...?
