I like the Disney Princess characterization over snowflake. Use that on our 'Christian' friends and they might try to "look it up."
Or they might read Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award winning Stamped From the Beginning, which explains the true historical origins of capitalism as co-founded with racism.

and I was raised on Disney movies and fantasy and propaganda.
I still absolutely adore animals and that is the one thing I cherish from allll those cartoons, but Walt Disney, as I matured, to me, was an insidious misogynist.

and my grandkids live about a little over an hour from Disneyworld. Id never take or diminish that magic away from them. But I WILL teach them all respect for females.
The newer films promote independent, intelligent and strong women. But that was after Mr.Disney passed on.
