Once a beautiful baby girl is born, parents often refer to her as their little princess; when you have a newborn baby girl, that little girl will often get all the attention from her surroundings, she will be covered in the most adorable clothes; cute shoes, baby clothes that say "princess" and a dazzling bow or headband, maybe a room that's nothing but pink, letters on the wall overlooking her crib that say "Mother's Little Princess." There is nothing wrong with spoiling your little girl. But as time goes by her idea of ​​her gender role begins to develop. Buying her princess toys, surrounding her in pink and watching Disney movies about how beautiful princesses are, always making her prince charming and living a charmed life forever, is a dangerous "reality" for girls to create. Ultimately, as they move from childhood to adulthood, girls in this type of environment may develop a constructed gender identity that makes them superior and deserving of a charmed life. It's a dangerous reality for these girls because they will grow up believing that they are entitled to a fairytale life, to have pure beauty, to marry the man of their dreams, to conceive beautiful children and to live happily ever after, but sometimes life just doesn't. It's a fairy tale and you don't always get what you want. The room of a typical American girl consists of: books about princesses, dresses, tutus, pink sheets, a white dresser, with nail polish, and childish makeup. superior. Different types of dolls scattered everywhere and princess movies stacked next to the television, ready to appear whenever it wants. Obsessing over how princesses live their perfect life is detrimental to a young girl's construction of gender, both... middle of paper... and perhaps not even happily ever after. Since life is not a fairy tale or even enchanted, reading storybooks and watching princess movies doesn't happen in real life. It is a fictional story with fictional characters, these stories should entertain the younger audience of girls. But some of these younger girls get too caught up in the fantasy world and start to develop a charmed life in their heads that isn't there. Then later in life it becomes shocking for them when reality hits them hard and their enchanted dreams are shattered.
