Princesses Don't Need Princes

There was a little girl in line today wearing a blue Cinderella dress, white socks, and blue Cinderella shoes, all clearly bought through the Disney store. When Shortcake asked her if she was waiting for her prince, her mom said no, and then her mom and Shortcake proceeded to riff on how princesses do not need princes to rescue them or to make life better.

Shortcake feels a sense of accomplishment by thwarting misogynistic fairy tales today.
