Disney 'Princess Principles' Shut Down Gender Stereotypes. Many of us grew up loving Disney princesses, which is why it was pretty surprising and disappointing when we realized how bad for us those princess movies can be.
A study from Brigham Young University confirmed what's actually pretty obvious when you look back at all those princess movies we knew and loved. The study found Disney princesses encouraged outdated stereotypes, promoting "gendered behavior" in young children. This is dangerous because telling young kids that there are certain things they should or should not do because of their gender holds them back and creates shame or uncertainty when they deviate from those set standards. It's the reason why we see so few women in STEM, or why boys feel embarrassed to cry. The study doesn't mean we can't still love Disney princesses or show them to children, it just means we should be aware of the narrative we create around them.

Nicola Adams and Natasha Jonas have made history by becoming the first British women boxers to qualify for the Olympic Games.
At their state-of-the-art gym in Sheffield, Britain’s elite amateur boxers see shadows of the past and a silhouette that hints at posterity. High above the walls of the gym’s three rings are posters of all 22 British post-war boxing medallists – all men. Beneath the posters is an outline of a fighter, and a message: “This could be you… impossible is nothing.” Not so long ago, it was indeed impossible that a woman could join this roll-call. Now, with women’s boxing about to take its place in the Olympics for the first time and Team GB’s elite women’s squad winning medals in tournaments across the globe, it seems highly likely.

By: Ariel Hairston@uhhangel For some strange reason, (too) many men can’t seem to wrap their heads around why street harassment is significantly problematic.
What’s even scarier is that, when the matter of catcalling is thoroughly explained to them, an alarming amount of men proceed to mention how they were catcalled once and didn’t make a big deal out of it, so women should just shut up about it already. While catcalling is absolutely unacceptable when either gender falls victim, what intensifies its effects on women is how unsafe it makes us feel. Men constantly mention the fact that males are physically stronger and larger than females in order to argue the “men and women can’t be equal” talking point, so why can’t they use this logic when it is actually beneficial data to the situation at hand?
