Disney Princess Does placing madami importance on big feats like becoming a warrior/world leader/etc over "ordinary" feats like love/general happiness can set the bar too high for kids?

There’s nothing wrong with having big ambitions like owning your own restaurant or becoming famous or being a warrior/hero, but it’s always nice to have simple ambitions and being allowed to be proud of yourself for accomplishing them.

I don't know where this is coming from... but eh, sure. I'll bite.

I love Mulan, sure, for saving China and turning her dad's and everyone else's expectations of what a woman is on their head --and I do notice that Rapunzel and Moana both gained renown by bringing people together, and I don't fail to see that Tiana's one admirable trait amidst the numerous issues I have with her is her ability to persevere through a landslide of trash-talk and obstacles to own her own business.

HOWEVER...

I don't like when people minimize Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, or Ariel --- simply because they came from abusive homes and had no financial or other means to escape; didn't have a set of sword skills; and/or simply wanted a change of venue so that they didn't have to believe every single new piece of xenophobic propaganda that someone came up with.

My point is, you don't have to save your nation to be a princess.
Little girls don't have to be on the cover of Time Magazine ( Greta Thunberg) nor be world famous for a feat, just to accomplish something in their lives.

I don't think every one needs to strive to be the best. Happiness can come from just doing your best and achieving smaller goals. <3

I think they are both equally important. For the vast majority of history women have been relegated to the home, have been told to stay silent and listen, have been forced to depend upon men for their livelihood even if they don't want to. I think it's wonderful that we are having an insurgence of films that allow women to be the heroes, especially since history has done its best to silence the real women heroes of the past.

BUT, I also don't think that means every girl needs to be a hero. If a girl wants to be traditionally feminine, wants to get married, wants to have a family, that is a wonderful goal so long as it is her choice and she's not being forced into it, and it has a certain kind of heroism in itself. I don't want to see femininity portrayed as weak or wrong.

By all means, keep the badass female heroines coming because goodness I adore them, but I hope the traditionally feminine women are also celebrated and given a voice, because they deserve it.

I don't consider happy marriage an ordinary or small feat. Sadly, happy marriages and truly beautiful love stories aren't that common in real life so they sometimes seem almost fanatastic as becoming a hero and dreaming about extremely happy and long-lasting marriage can be consider dreaming big.
