Crush of the Week: Potty-Mouthed Princesses Drop F-Bombs for Feminism
Holy fucking shit, this video (below) is fucking awesome! We could watch it all week! It combines two of our favorite things: feminism and swear words. That it includes little girls not acting like little princesses is icing on the cake. Of course, the freakouts and insults in the comments section illustrates just how scary it must be for people invested in the sexist status quo to see women, especially little girls, defying their most basic gender-stereotypical imperatives: be cute, quiet and conforming. Wonder if it’s too late to get our daughters to go as Potty-Mouthed Princesses for Halloween?
Oh Johnny, just when we thought you could do or say no wrong! Oh well, nobody’s perfect.
all our love,
Em & fucking Lo
Uuuugh. I got through about eight seconds of that. This is nothing new – the vast majority of internet feminism is sarcastic, foul-mouthed tirades. It’s largely why feminism has a such a huge PR problem.
Why not dress little girls up smartly, have them make points articulately and sanely, then let them put on princess costumes and have a tea party with stuffed animals and a “no boys” sign on the door? Why does feminism feel the need to wage war on femininity like that?
