De-Programming Feminism: Feminist Propaganda in Disney Films Part 1, “The Little Mermaid”

The last four generations of Americans have been swimming in a sea of feminist propaganda our whole lives. We don't even notice the feminist themes and messaging bombarding us daily. They feel like universal truths because that's all we've ever known. A fish doesn’t know it has always lived in water until it somehow ends up on dry land. De-programming feminism works much the same way. This analogy is a brilliant segue for me to ruin one of people's favorite childhood movies- Disney's The Little Mermaid. I’m going to show you how feminist messaging has crept into some of the most popular Disney films of the last 40 years, without most people ever noticing. It’s one of those things that you won’t be able to un-see once you see it.
