Ummmm... wut?

I'm not using a Disney film as an example of a good portrayal of women, and neither is the author of the seduction book.

The implication is that the Disney movie, made and marketed for children, has a song called "Kiss the girl" which is about as rape-y as the advice in the seduction manual. Which is to say not at all.

The whole premise of The Little Mermaid is paternalistic and problematic.

Oh my god. Really?

Guess you better go tell a bunch of little girls that they aren't allowed to like whatever their favorite female Disney protagonist happens to be.

Just because little girls like it, doesn't mean it isn't problematic.

So, the male computer scientist now feels qualified to tell little girls what is and isn't ok for them to like. I thought you didn't like men telling women what to do?
