Ahhh, Disney romance--what a load of crap



No wonder our expectations of love and relationships are so skewed. Think of the subtle brainwashing these films did to us as kids, teaching us the feminine and masculine ideals, which we later found out was a pile of crap. Life and love don't quite work that way; women aren't all damsels in distress and men don't always come to the rescue on white steeds.

One of my closest female friends from school was reading a self-help book last year. It was all about getting over the disappointment many girls feel when they realise the 'princess' ideal is unrealistic. She got married this past September. They're now in marriage counselling.

Some people (myself included) want this image of Disney romance so badly that they push relationships somewhat to fit this model of love. I spend so much energy trying to be Prince Charming that I'm really disappointed in myself when I realise I'm not (yeah, big shocker there). So my kids are not getting this crap, at least not until they're older and after they've been exposed to other, less-damaging media.

I want in that way

Since we are all busy with essays, I thought I'd start things off light. Feel free to discuss the impact of globalization and new media on corporate business models. Or just enjoy.

mavas are hottt

Hey everyone. I set up a blog for us to use if people are into it. Email me for posting access, and hopefully this can be a group effort of picture posting, discussion and interesting links. Videos could even be added so we can keep in touch while we're away this summer. Anyway, I hope this works out cause I think you all would make for an interesting group blog.
