    Actually reality check.

    Toddlers perception of the world is much smaller.

    Princess is just a word for wearing a pretty dress. Just like a knight is anyone with a blade.

    And also that both of these may potentially ride horses.

    “Being something when they are grown” is a thought put onto them by an adult.

    If you are close enough to the child to have discussions with them there is still time to educate them when they are older.

    Of course most people understand this and this is just a meme, i am just bored.

    Is mommy a millionaire or come from inherited wealth? … no?

    Does mommy have lots natural sexual beauty? … no?

    Then no … you won’t become a princess.

    Here’s a lottery ticket … you’ll have a better chance with that

      When my niece was a toddler I taught her her first joke: “Why did the chicken cross the road? To escape the capitalist regime!”

      Of course she had no idea what it meant, but man listening to a toddler clumsily pronounce “capitalist regime” was funny 100% of the time.

      People are free to yearn to be sex slaves. I don’t agree with it, but I can’t take that freedom away without being authoritarian.

        We can’t deny their desire, but we can stop them from gaining that desire in the first place. We need to put an R rating on all princess movies and save them for when the kids turn 18. Within a couple generations, that would probably fix the problem as people adapt to the new culture. We could speed up the process by banning princess costumes at family-friendly events like trunk-or-treats. Parents could explain to their kids “Sorry, you can’t be a princess this halloween. You need to set a good example to the younger kids. You can be something scary like a witch or a ghost, but you can’t wear a costume that degrades your own dignity as a person.” Not every kid is mature enough for that explanation, so it would be left up to parents’ discretion when to have that conversation and how mature to make it.
