what are modern little girls dreams now?


in the past, little girls were sold the fairy tales of "falling in love with the handsome prince" (also successful thus supportive via vocation), "happily ever after", playing fake house with women dolls, also prepping for motherhood fake feeding baby dolls. They seemed to have fun with it.

So, SERIOUS QUESTION, as I don't have kids....

How are little girls' play nurtured now days seeing that the handsome prince is now creepy misogyny, dolls are now grooming opporessive propaganda and probably offensive, and the natural child birthing maternal instinct is wrong, triggering and offensive?

What do they play with now days?

reply

Good question. Maybe there's a teacher here who could tell you how they are indoctrinating kids today.

reply

SPOILER ALERT...THEY AREN'T.

reply

As a teacher, I'm going to pass on answering this idiotic question.

reply

I'm very involved in my own children's education and I know their teachers well. Their teachers are really good, decent people. I work with young teen kids, I know a bit about it.

There doesn't seem to be any 'indoctrination' going on Blue 1981, I would know if there was. There has been more of an awareness introduced in schools about anti-bullying and lesbian and gay rights and getting along in a community and anti racism type stuff which seems pretty reasonable to me. These kids nowadays are a bit soft and lazy but I've noticed the bullying and bigotry has become less prominent. I'd say that's progress, we just have to toughen the little ones up for adulthood now. There is less bigotry but also an alarming lack of strength and determination.

reply

People who don't respect our hard-working teachers are the lowest dregs of society.

reply

100% agreed.
Certain jobs are crucial to society. Teachers, Nurses, Firefighters, The Military and Police deserve respect, they are the pillars that hold up a community.
Try and start a functioning, prosperous country without our essential workers.

Also, not for nothing but the next person that says to a kid 'What, you wanna grow up to be a garbage man!?!' deserves a knock to the nose. Sanitation is super important and garbage men around here earn a damn fine living.
I know a few garbage/sanitation men and they have nice houses and have made fine families.

I respect anybody that goes out there and earns an honest living.

reply

I respect anyone who gets up in the morning to go to work. No matter what the job may be.

100% agree Broheim.

reply

Most girls in my life aren't as PC as you describe. But even among those who are, the princess fantasy is as strong as it has ever been.

reply

well, I think that is good to hear. nothing wrong with it.

I just wonder, seeing what the media is doing to all that stuff, wondered what girls are being fed now.

reply

TO BE GOOD PEOPLE...SAME AS BOYS.

reply

MORE MORONIC POSTURING.

reply

You’re so right. It does not even deserve replies.

reply

You are correct Amigo but sometimes bullshit deserves some blowback.

reply

In my experience little girls still want to be princesses. The only thing changed is the propaganda on the tv. Also, that over the top sweet 16 glamor party nonsense is still fully in play. Women are women.

reply

this gives me hope for the future of reality over propaganda

reply

GROW UP.

reply


this gives me hope for the future


It really shouldn't. The future probably won't look like the fictional version of the 1950s you seem to live in.

reply

I live where there are REAL people, not the 50s.
People that are not delusional. People who know how to live and not spend their day wondering which sex they are. People with purpose, direction, and are effective in creating a world where fucking morons - that should die from natural selection - can live on being fucked up and confused by their entitled reality. THAT world is not sustainable.

Mine is. Always has been. Always will be.

reply

YOU SEEM TO BE A BIT A DELUSIONAL.

reply


Well, you always sound like a hundred year old man who has lived his entire life in a small town/semi-rural Christian community in 1950s America. The world already moved on decades ago.

But you do you. Tilt at those windmills.

reply

how's that SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORING working out for ya? Changing the whole world for the better yet? :)
You'll learn some day. :)

reply


Will I? Well, at least I'm capable of it, sunshine. You'll never learn a damn thing.

reply

that's not how you change people. come on, you can do better and make me realize people can be whatever they choose to feel like at the time.
Look! I'm a baloon now! Gee this is fun!

reply

It's quite narcissistic of you to imagine I'd be on a mission to 'change you'. You're an irrelevance. The world has already changed around you. Where I am, your attitudes died with my grandparents' generation. It's a shock to find people like you out in the wild. But you don't matter.

reply

Almost nothing real has changed. Just some dumb people being loud. You are welcome to live in your own delusion. Your happy place, your safe space from aw da evil bad theengs.

reply

Almost nothing real has changed.


Oh. In that case there was no reason to start the thread, was there? The answer to your question -- what are modern little girls dreams now? What do they play with now[a]days?' -- is self-evidently 'Same as it ever was.'

Don't know why you bothered to inquire if nothing real has changed in this regard.

You've wasted everyone's time. For girls, it's the dolls in prams and toy ovens. For boys, it's the guns and the racing cars. And we all go to church as a family on a Sunday morning and believe every word the pastor tells us.

Sorted.

reply

seeing as I don't have kids, I was questioning to see if anything has changed.

read the replies. nothing has changed.

enjoy your delusion world. no one is stopping you. carry on. :)

reply

SOME DAY WILL COME...YOU WON'T BE HERE...I MIGHT NOT BE HERE EITHER...BUT MY DAUGHTER AND HER GENERATION WILL BE...AND GUESS WHAT?....THEY DON'T SHARE YOUR OLD TIMEY HANG-UPS.

reply

Soft bigotry

reply


Against?

reply

C’mon man. The whole description was a euphemism for race, age, socio-economic status and religious prejudice.

reply

No. It's just a description of a particular kind of social atavism.

Race and socio-economic status have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it, and as for religious prejudice: the overwhelming majority of Christians have moved on from those attitudes too.

The values of seventy years ago have no place in a modern society. And, y'know, it's the Karl Popper thing, isn't it? The Paradox of Tolerance and all that. Standing against bigotry is not bigotry.

reply

You do realize that trans people aren't a new phenomenon right? I get that you don't like the fact that they aren't hiding for fear of death anymore, but they have been around probably as long as humanity.

reply

of course. but I don't enable delusion, and mental illness

reply

I've said this a million times and I'll keep saying it, unless you have the credentials to make you an expert on the subject or have a clinically proven treatment or cure for what it is, your opinion will not change a thing. You can continue to be a dick about it or you can accept it.

reply

I accept that people will do whatever they like. But, I don't have to play along.

LooK! Now I'm a rock. Now I'm a blade of grass. Now I am a cat.

You don't need any credientials to understand basic biology, no matter what tiny subset of society tries foisting on you. Use your own mind, not theirs.

What if I was born defective without limbs, but ran around telling everyone that I have limbs? I'm sure that would be fine. I would not be delusional in the slightest. :)

ANYTHING GOES in a brave new progressive world. :D

reply

Have you never heard of phantom limb syndrome? Not a great comparison.

The point is you have no idea what a trans person goes through. You don't understand what is happening. You can't even tell me if it's physiological, or chemical. This study/hypothesis is a decent read. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13178-020-00489-z#:~:text=and%20Social%20Policy-,Gender%20Dysphoria%20and%20Transgender%20Identity%20Is%20Associated%20with%20Physiological%20and,Findings%2C%20Supported%20by%20Systematic%20Reviews

The fact that you keep bringing up biology is really a moot point. I don't know anyone who arguing the actual sex organs one was born with.

You do obviously understand the concept of gender as this post is about traditional female gender roles. Girls playing with dolls and wanting to play house. So why is it so difficult for you to accept that a person who was born into a body with different sex organs wants to live in the role that YOU have assigned to a gender?

reply

Not this again. Lol. There is always someone who brings it up. They can't stand that other people are happy.

BTW WHO mentioned "trans" first? scroll back

You are implying it in your OP. Don't act stupid. Oh, you're not acting. You bring it up every chance you get. Just live your fantasy and go blow a trans no one will judge you. Certainly not me.

[edit] forgot to call you a bigot, and an incel. there. covered it.

reply

Lol. You are actually a decent dude . I've seen your other posts and they are not bad. You just need to quit trying to stir people up with these sexist anti Trans topics and you'd be alright. Stop being a dick and stop with these topics I will attack you every time.

reply

fair enough. :)
believe it or not, I appreciate your respect and I respect you to. ALWAYS respect for people willing to speak thier mind and side with authority and intelligence.
my goal was not to provoke, but my question about girls playing dolls or whatever. no hidden agenda. I wondered what the world had done to them.
As usual, two days later, dialog goes the wrong way - and I fall into it to.

I FEEL all dialogs should self lock after two days, because it is always down hill after that. EVERYWHERE on the internet.

reply

Well just know someone close to me is Trans and I will always go on the attack when is see something negative.

all good, bro. I have a gay friend that NEVER bothers me in the slightest. there's just no reason to mention it, he's just a person. as am I

For real. Who gives a fuck who you want to fuck. Dicks were meant to be yanked. So if you get someone to yank it for you even better.

reply

ME accept?
You're delusional also expecting everyone else to "Accept" anything.

Just like them, I can do what I want.
Truthfully, I just don't care about them at all, ZERO interest. But sick of it being shoved in our face, like the rest of the majority of the population.
just shut up about it and do your thing, WE DON'T CARE.
And don't shove it on our CHILDREN.
I don't beat up trans people - like 99% of the majority of the population that also doesn't beat up trans people - and NO LAW is ever going to stop abuse... has all crime stopped because of law? Nope. So, good luck with that.

MEANWHILE, back on topic, sounds like little girls are still ALLOWED to be little girls. Imagine that. A world where reality overcomes. :)

reply

"sick of it being shoved in our face,"

You're the one that brought it up. You're shoving it OUR faces. Everyone else was happy not discussing it. People that constantly bring this topic up are secretly gay with a dildo shoved up the ass. You may want to adjust yours. It's poking your brain.


Signed, million man

reply

Who is shoving it in your face?

Simply existing is not shoving it in your face. Like Bloodshot77 said, YOU brought it up. We were talking about little girls and fantasies about princes. NOTHING to do with trans people. For someone who has ZERO interest, and doesn't care about them, you sure bring them up a lot.

And don't shove it on our CHILDREN.

You don't even have children! You said so in the OP

So, SERIOUS QUESTION, as I don't have kids....

reply

yes... this all relates to what society is doing to people. including the trans stuff constantly in our face. do you have access to the internet? Sometimes it is listed DAILY in news are articles. DAILY.

I'm not allowed to be concerned for others children? Weird flex, but you do you.

reply

Mind your own fucking business my kid is of no concern to you.

sooo... beating your kids, molesting them, or mulilating them is fine? I'll just look the other way. THAT's how a great society runs. :D I learned something today. Thank you.

Would you like a safe space?

reply

naw. the real world majority will win out. always has, always will, whether we WISH for something else or not. me too is done. DEI is fading fast. all the stupid shit eventually eats itself through the inbred hypocrisy, and natural selection. the imbecilic notion of "safe spaces" will vanish as well.
people need to grow the fuck up and face the reality of life. it's really very simple.

reply

So why can't you face that there are people who exist who are trans?

I'm so curious as to what you mean by the real world majority will win out? Win what? You think that actual trans people will disappear? Or are we going to beat them and kill them like the real world used to do with gay people?

Why are you back on me too when you changed the topic to trans people? The movement might have faded, but society isn't really turning it's back on lack of consent or sexual harassment from anyone. I mean Lizzo was cancelled.

You really think that DEI is fading? Really? So your world is whiter than it was yesterday?

reply

This thread has run its course and diverted.
We're all done here. :)

reply

You diverted it.

Dude. Just stop these hate filled threads and join the community who are friendly despite our differences and discuss movies and do movie club . Save the divise shit for the politics board.

reply

Well, I was a little girl over 40 years ago, and I never dreamt of a prince.

reply

what did you play as a lil girl, say 4 to 10?

reply

MY DAUGHTER NEVER PLAYED PRINCESS...SHE PLAYED VETERINARIAN...TEACHER...OR COPS AND CROOKS.

reply

I did play with barbies a bit, but I also played with GI Joes. All my friends had brothers, mostly we played with Tonka Trucks, skipping ropes, even lawn darts. If we played pretend, it was usually brain surgeon, or teacher. Having full sized chalk boards in the basement was a lot of "pretend school".

reply

sounds good. and anecdotal.

GENERALLY, the populous did the farey tale stuff. GENERALLY speaking.

I grew up then too, and ALL the little neighborhood girls - ALL of them - played with dolls, and also wanted to play "house" with me.
so I'd come over to their place drunk, throw my news paper at them, and yell at them to make me sandwhiches. They enjoyed it so much! :)

yes, I'm kidding about that last part

reply

KIDDING ABOUT THE LAST PART?....THAT ENTIRE POST IS A JOKE...YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST DISINGENUOUS POSTERS ON THIS SITE.

reply

Hey, I liked Disney fairy tales as much as the next person, but I also had read a lot of the original stories too. I had no illusions of a Prince on a white horse coming to save me. The horse would probably have shit on my lawn.

I mean we would sometimes play Star Wars. Leia saved the guys as much as they saved her.

reply

You didn't know one "tom boy" growing up? That seems strange to me. Girls who preferred sports to dolls? Or girls who didn't like to wear pink dresses? Did you grow up in a small town with a population of 4 kids?

reply

I feel tom boy is a broad term. i knew girls that did sports but none were tom boys. there's a girl i hung out with who could keep up with us, but she was never just one of the boys. we'd help her when we went climbing and adventures, but she was never like "DONT TOUCH ME! I can do it MY SELF Harumph!" :D

and I dont really care, and there is nothing wrong with what everybody chooses to do (Like I always say, and always will).... just curious what the growth stimuli is now days, as oppsoed to the past. :)

reply

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOUY HAVE EVER KNOWN A SINGLE FEMALE IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY.

reply

When I was a little girl in the 70s and 80s, I started a play store and catalog business, along with a newspaper that I typed up on my parents' typewriter.

reply

Me neither. Prince Charles didn't seem like such a great catch back then! LOL.

reply

Lol. No, no he didn't.

Hahahah and thank you for being an example of what's wrong in the world. :)

There's nothing wrong with disapproving of someone who shames girls who don't want to conform to old-fashioned gender stereotypes.
