What effect does the hypersexualization of the heroine have on young girls? Although I myself have a great fondness for Disney and Barbie, and I don’t categorically consider them “evil”, clearly we are doing little girls a disservice when these are the only role models they have to choose from.
In today’s highly sexualized environment – where 5-year-olds wear padded bras – some see the toddlers-and-tiaras Disney princess craze leading to the pre-teen pursuit of “hot” looks. Do little girls become little women too soon?
