1)they need a man to take care of them🥱

2) the only goal in her life is a knight on white horse😳

3) their life is incomplete if this knight does not love her till eternity

4) she will reach her nirvana as soon as she marries this knight

5) she has to depend on this knight for her survival

6) her identity is NIL if this knight does not marry her

7) she will have to wait like forever for this knight -so that she can be happy

8) she will have to sacrifice self to please this knight

9) she will have to love everyone that this knight loves

😡why?

why cant she be taught that she has to take care of herself first and foremost

her goal is to make herself happy not wait for someone to make her happy

her life can be complete even if this so called knight does not come to love her

she can be independent and has to be financially, mentally, emotionally

she has her own identity and does not need a man's identity to be complete

she can love and do things for others but not always self sacrificing that brings her unhappiness and emotional turbulence , she has to be happy first and then do things for others without hurting her self esteem, self confidence

why does she have to be shown those disney movies which puts in false dreams and expectations in her mind

I agree with you...but unfortunately that's what girls are taught from a young age...others needs first and then yours. The society has been changing considerably...women are not as meek as they used to be...but the media has not stopped portraying the cliched characters..and those outdated ideas...
It needs to stop...this is not what we want our kids to think as they grow up...
Thanks for this post

its a gender molding of the young mind

girls behave like this, do this , think this

boys behave like that , do that, think that,

its much prevalent

like while the men play football , girl take up the task of cheer-leading🤢 ( a very typical scenario in american football)

or boys dont cry, dont act like a girl, when some boys get emotional

and girls dont behave so rudely, they dont talk back, they stay composed, if they speak against the injustices

I 100% agree with you! I strongly believe that it is up to our generation to change this precedent. We need to prioritize female empowerment! The idea that a woman is less than a man or that she needs a man to be "complete" is so ridiculous and needs to be wiped out!

This is one of the best posts I have come so far.

And you know whats the irony? If you are actually taught to choose a career before marriage then they are selfish and deemed immoral (?!?!) Women who stay back home after having a baby are so patient I mean many husbands hardly ever say you continue I will be there to take care of the baby. These women have patience I hardly will. If I am selfish then so be it because I am tired of the fake society morals about women. These will never be answered because women are still inferior and doing something out of norm is considered insolent!😲

Wht a fab post ...n so so well taken points 👏

I might be amongst the few who abhores this idea of FAIRYTALE Romance n prince charming n happily ever after ...yes they are good Change from the usual harsh reality but what I hate is it makes YOUNG N LIL GILRS vulnerable n weak , gives them crutches to hold onto n a longing tht apparently May or myanot happen , cos no one knows The future

Why not instead feed them the TRUTH for a change and see how it Does wonders in making n accepting reality than sighing over things tht never exist😆

Why can't people for once question tht why FAIRYTALES end at happily ever after ?? Have u ever Seen or heard a story tht begins AFTER happily ever after ???why not instead tell the LIL kids to take life as it comes...yes it's not always a bed of roses but it's not alyways a nightmare too ..it's a balance bwteen the good n bad n we need to accept it the way it is 😆
