Isis just fun in a childs film, or harmful to their basis of gender roles from a young age.

do you think its an over reaction?

Just to go back to.pink kitchens for a minute, I know a guy with the pinkest kitchen I've ever seen, everything is pink, even the fridge and he's the straightest guy imaginable

I submit this offensive piece of Disney sexism for the jury, DD LOVES Lion King 2, probably because it has a female lead, but listen to Kiara sing-

"They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart

I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me"

Grates me, every time I hear it, the message, it seems to me is that even though she's dumb, weak and cowardly (when actually her actions prove anything but, perhaps a case of "feminine modesty"?), she'll find her true love and that's all that matters.

Puke.
