The Golden Era Disney Princesses Were Right About Femininity
Golden Era Disney is often criticized for portraying an “archaic version” of female roles in the world.

The Golden Era princesses actually tap into the feminine archetypes more poignantly than their superficial, feminist modern sisters. Modern Disney, by giving princesses swords and missions, denigrates the power of the feminine by saying that a princess isn’t valuable on her own and must become a prince in order to be a character worthy to talk about. The modern feminist view of princesses is far more sexist than the Golden Era, which actually believed that the female story was worth telling and celebrating.

Cinderella and the Power of Beauty

Cinderella, the princess often criticized for being a passive player in her own story, is often contrasted with characters like Elsa and Merida, who take an active role in their stories. But this misinterpretation of Cinderella is a microcosm of the way feminism misinterprets the feminine archetype in general. Feminism believes that the only way a woman can actually “act” in a story is by taking on masculine roles. It neglects entirely the nuance of the feminine.

Cinderella is not “doing nothing” when she is being kind and caring toward those around her, even when they’re horrible to her. It’s for this reason that the mice and birds conspire to help her win against the step-sisters. It’s for this reason that she’s the most beautiful, despite wearing rags and being covered in cinders. Her grace, charm, and loveliness from the inside make her beauty something that calls and attracts good people to her to protect her, such as the fairy godmother.
