Why I Will Never Let My Daughter Look Up To Disney Princesses

Disney Princesses have been taking a lot of heat lately for being bad role models and degrading towards women. I totally agree, I would never want my daughter to act like a Disney Princess. And here is why.

Snow White

Snow White is a total hoe for living with so many men. Women cannot have guy friends unless they are having some kind of relationship with them. I mean seven men? Come on girl, you have to have something going on behind the scenes with all of them. It doesn’t make sense for you to have guy friends.

Cinderella

Cinderella is treated unfairly and is bullied by her stepfamily. I would want my daughter to never defend herself and want better for herself. All while remaining peaceful and kind.

Ariel

My daughter should not want more than what she already has. “Oh, you want to go explore the world? No, stay home with me for the rest of your life.” She should just keep collecting things from around the world and sing to them. It’s totally normal.

Belle

There is no way I would want my daughter to protect her family. And I would never want her to fall in love with someone just because it’s not a normal relationship the person is not well-liked. Also, my daughter will never, ever read books!

Jasmine

I would be so mad if my daughter didn’t want to marry the man that I had picked out for her. I mean, I have raised her, her whole life. So I should know who she should love. End of story

Pocahontas

Pocahontas is crazy for sticking up for what she believes in. My daughter will know her place. Even if it means that she will lose the love of her life, she will never disobey me.

Mulan

Why in the world would I want my daughter to think that she is just as good as men? She should be sitting quietly at home making them sandwiches and bringing them drinks instead of fighting for her country. Even when her true identity was exposed, Mulan rose to the challenge, not only bringing honor to her family but saving her country from invasion from Genghis Kahn and his henchmen. I would totally ground her for leaving the house and not telling me where she was.

Merida

LOL yeah, my daughter will never be brave.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
