The truth isn't always nasty. Sometimes it can even rival a Disney moment. :D

lol nice, though I tend to shoot at animated blue birds.

[QUOTE=naiadknight;381733]I have feminazi moments, but they're actually fairly rare. Most of the time, if I get pissed over something and seem to take it "feminazi," it's more likely that you (unwittingly, in most cases) insinuated that something is distinctly "for a man" or "for a woman." I don't mean clothes, I mean jobs, raising kids, being breadwinner, stuff like that. I'm in a career where there are VERY few women, even today, and I do other things that are "characteristically male" (lifting weights, building robots, woodworking, gaming, and doing my own car/ home maintenance if I can), so for someone to say "that's a man's job," or "doesn't your husband do that for you?" will set me on a quasi-feminazi streak.[/QUOTE]

I've done that before as well. That's just how mama raised me.

Who wants to see "Enchanted"?

[QUOTE=geostump;381782]Who wants to see "Enchanted"?[/QUOTE]
I caught the majority of it one sunday because niece was watching it. Geek kept prodding me because one of the main characters kept pulling "[Naiad] moments."

I thought Enchanted was pretty cute. I'm not into the whole fairy tale romance so that being a more modern fairy tale worked for me.

I've never been big on the prince charming idea (As a side note, the Disney Prince I liked the most looked a lot like Geek), and I've never liked the damsel in distress thing. Honestly, of all the "fairy tale" movies, the female I resemble the most is Fiona from Shrek. I can take of my own damn self, and don't need to be rescued thankyouverymuch.
My middle sibling, on the other hand, never really outgrew Disney. She's emotionally stuck at 10 or 12. No clue why, she just stopped maturing in every way but physically at that point. So she's gung ho about Disneyfied "true love" and Prince Charming and the fairy tale wedding. It was one of the thing that we came to blows about a couple times.

Totally me. I think at 3 I told my second oldest sister that "Prince Charming was a bunch of doodoo". Shrek was great and Fiona was most believable. My husband likes to say that he knows of only 2 women in this world that can live without a man and that is our friend Sara and myself. Pretty good to know that a man can recognize my independent streak.

Ah, fairy tales...so much more fun when written by the Brothers Grimm
