Are you all finished yet? Please do not let me stop you if it makes you feel better about yourselves when you collectively gang up on a person whom you clearly misunderstood. If it is helping you all releive stress by continuing this bashing festival then by all means keep going. If you need help finding more memes or images to help illustrate your insult then please use google or bing as helpful references. And to the person who found it necessary to question my parenting skills, thank you. You do not even know me yet find it acceptable to judge who I am as a person and a mother. So thank you for showing that insight into what kind of person you are. For the rest of you who actually care about this subject at hand, I will once again repeat this is NOT about womens rights or education or skill levels. As a female myself of course I encourage girls of all ages to persue whatever dream they may have, and I also believe that any person male or female can BECOME whatever they choose to be. But this is not the issue. I am talking about two WDW parks in particular which seem to cater more heavily toward one gender rather than a fair balance such as MK. I admit I was a bit harsh toward DHS, and forgot about the Mermaid stage show as well as Fantasmic. Perhaps it is more of a balanced park than I originally gave cerdit for. I was afraid it was turning over to "Star Wars Central" especially if this rumored Star Wars land ever gets approved, then it would seem the park is geared mostly toward boys. Epcot could use a good attraction geared mostly toward girls to help even the playing field. I like my original suggestion of incorporating Belle into imagination. Look at how she and her father Maurice acted. He was an innovator. She used her brain over Gastons braun to outwit him. Does that not sum up many of the key points of which the imagination pavillion is all about? Today as it sits, it is more of a pavilion revolving around the human senses. It is outdated and could use an appropriate update. And for the final time, I never suggest there should be a park solely for girls and themed to the Disney princesses. That was never an issue. If any of you feel like backing off the attacks and care to discuss this topic based on attractions and how the parks could be ore balanced, I am all open for discussion. But please do not attack me personally or my parenting skills. I have two beautiful children who I encourage to go as far as their dreams can carry no matter if it is my son or daughter.

With all due respect, I believe it is you who is misunderstanding us. Your comments have been very stereotypical and are placing genders under a specific, predetermined role. And quite frankly, I find that completely wrong, disturbing, and offensive.

And, she came from nothing.

However, I'm gonna go with Mulan for the strongest willed and most honorable of the princesses myself.

She didn't throw a hissy fit and proverbially run away like an 8 year old to hide in her room because she was "misunderstood", like Elsa does. She stood up for her friends, family, and country.

One classy dame!

I give Elsa a little leeway her parents trained her to hide. She did break free in the end. Mulan is still the strongest woman though.

Elisa didn't hide in her room. She was accidentally brainwashed by her parents into thinking she was a witch and being scared of herself.

What SHOULD have happened is they should have gotten the trolls to teach her how to use her powers responsibly, instead of having them "scare her straight".
Forget Pabbie...they should have gone to see Yoda.

I said "proverbially"...because, that's exactly what she did. She ran away, sang a song about it, and created her own "room".

As a character, this is understandable...but, I certainly wouldn't call her strong or brave.

Anna, on the other hand...much more so.

Part of Elsa's problem was that she was afraid of her powers, which she wasn't before her parents expressed fear. So she was afraid (and rightfully so given how she was hunted down) and needed help to get over that fear, which she got, not from a man, but from her sister (also why it resonates). She was the victim of parents who tried to shelter her power rather than allow her to learn how to use it properly.

Then please prove me wrong. Walk into any random WDW shop packed full of mostly girls. Shout out "hey look, an adventure in communication from the dawning of the cavemen to the 21st century!" or shout out "hey look, its Anna and Elsa walking by right now!" You tell me which gets the bigger more excited reaction and I will revoke every word I have said on here.

Hey, right now you would get a bigger reaction seeing Anna and Elsa from my 90 year old grandfather.

If you shout Anna and Elsa everyone will turn and look. Its the popularity of the movie. Again, have you SEEN THE LINE AT EPCOT?? You really need to open your eyes to reality.

Yes! this and the love she had for her little sister that she was afraid she would cause harm if ever her powers got out of control.
