And, haha on the not wanting to have anything to do with girliness, because the movie was originally called 'Rapuzel', and retitled 'Tangled' in deference to the boys who didn't see 'Princess and the Frog' because it sounded too, you guessed it, girly.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-28372000862264267992010-11-06T19:29:20.884-07:002010-11-06T19:29:20.884-07:00Hey!

I don't see very many kids movies...<br /><br />I think it's great that your son wants to go. I wish that more parents would take their kids to see opposite gender movies. I think media (and often we) reinforce the idea that women can relate to women AND men but men can only relate to men. As such, things that are "girly" aren't viewed as being as valuable and they certainly aren't viewed as being for boys and girls.<br /><br />And how has girly become an insult? It's not just guys that use this in a bad way but the gals, too. I just want to deck gals that do this! Are you mad? You're going to stand there insulting your own gender group on the basis of nothing other than gender stereotyping? ugh!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471937819219493034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-38446051608007390852010-11-05T16:16:38.082-07:002010-11-05T16:16:38.082-07:00Rachel - I'm looking forward to Disney's &...Rachel - I'm looking forward to Disney's 'Tangled', though. Not only to see it with my 3 y.o. girl, but, amazingly, by 13 y.o. boy said he'd come. I guess he's secure enough in his masculinity, or can pass it off as 'forced to accompany his baby sister' in case any of his friends see him.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-78441712703118550222010-11-05T16:16:37.684-07:002010-11-05T16:16:37.684-07:00Rachel - I'm looking forward to Disney's &...Rachel - I'm looking forward to Disney's 'Tangled', though.

Moot point I guess since it failed at both as far as I am concerned. Ugh! Badly done.<br /><br />I also loved the en espanol portion!
