I'm about to write a text, I never thought I would write. I so often wrinkled her nose when it complained of the aged values of the old children's books and movies, and always emphasized that the sooner they kept children culture indeed measurement other than the current Disneyfierade ditto. i wanna go mp3 In various contexts, I have raised his voice and asked for more authenticity and social realism that is often found in, for example, works of Astrid Lindgren, in which difficulties i wanna go mp3 and inconveniences are woven into the stories in a unique way.
At this writing, I take quite a different opinion, after visiting SF cinema i wanna go mp3 with my almost four year old daughter, to gaze upon some old movies with Alfie Atkins. My daughter loves Alfie Atkins and has been talking for days about how exciting and fun it will be to go to the movies, eat popcorn in the dark and cozy up to the light and sound of the cartoon.
Everything is hunky-dory until the last Alfons episode lit up the silver screen, the one called "Alfie and Milla", and as I recall with pleasure vaguely i wanna go mp3 from my own childhood. It's all about Alfie Atkins who, although he is boy wants to play with a girl named Milla. i wanna go mp3 In the middle of the film, a sequence that I notice that my little daughter i wanna go mp3 sucks even more in their young children's eyes and ears of children. It is to Alfie and the other boys have a long rant about girls' human failings. My daughter stops eating his popcorn and tightens the look in the big screen when the following female weaknesses enumerated, accompanied with pictures of girls in pink tulle skirts i wanna go mp3 that cozy up to the teacher and playing with dolls:
"Girls are weak and cries for little things. And the mirrors themselves and comb your hair and are careful with their clothes. And always remember to do your homework and cozy up to the teacher. And whispers and tisslar and laughing at nothing. And playing boring games (with dolls) and just keeps sams pairs. And gossip and can not remain silent with secrets. "
Around here in the show tells a boy sitting next to us loud and clear to his parents that he certainly does not play with girls. The knot in my stomach i wanna go mp3 and I want to protect my daughter, who loves dolls and brushing the hair from that shown on the big screen and what the boy next to us is pouring out of him. But it is too late. Despite the good-hearted Alfie Atkins sacrifices himself, and later in the movie playing with Milla even though she is something so dirty as a girl, so it's still too late. The only thing my daughter will remember from the movie is that she as a woman is not good enough to play with the boys because of their gender. She barely knows what a sex is yet! Before we saw the movie "Alfie and Milla" was this thought that she had never spent a millisecond, that boys and girls would somehow be different and that they can not even play with each other. But now it's something that she can not let go. When we leave the dark movie theater, and she goes there, with one hand pressed into my and the other in a grip around the leftover popcorn, she raises her gaze to me and asks why boys do not want to play with her because she's a girl? I do not know what to answer, but I understand that today, i wanna go mp3 she first experienced how it is to feel inferior because she was born with snipp instead of penis. I also know that this is something she will in time be confronted with, but today she is not even four years old and all my instincts scream out that it's too early. My little daughter should not have to have these thoughts in your head already.
I look at the others that are coming out from the cinema. Some little boys are laughing with their heads held high in front of us. For them 'Alfie and Milla "been a boost of self-confidence and future suppression techniques, while my almost four years of age daughter will unconsciously carry around that she is one who does not deserve to play with the boys. Any future context, she told that she has to relate to the male gaze, and I'll say it again: she is three years and eight months and it is too early to get jaw bangs of her later life to get to know as patriarchy and sexist structures. Maybe I'm just a silly overprotective parent of young children, but in retrospect, had I not gone to the movies today, and certainly not seen and "Alfie and Milla."
Hope my daughter is exposed quite a lot for suppression techniques and kill germs, so she learns to become strong. Then, she can become the boss and dismiss your flimsy, easily offended and constantly long-term sick equality product that never had to learn to get around on their own merit.

It's i wanna go mp3 too tragic that you believe that these things will make your daughter into a strong individual. You obviously have no idea how soon your daughter i wanna go mp3 will learn that she is inferior and behave as such. Especially when her own father who is supposed to be her role model does not seem to believe it. Talk instead about how WRONG it
