....femininity?

Femininity (from the Disney movie Summer Magic, sung by Hayley Mills)


You must walk feminine
Talk feminine
Smile and beguile feminine
Utilize your femininity
That's what every girl should know, if she wants to catch a beau

Dance feminine
Glance feminine
Act shy and sigh feminine
Compliment his masculinity
That's what every girl should know, if she wants to catch a beau

Let him do the talking
Men adore good listeners
Laugh, but not too loudly (Haha)
If he should choose to tell a joke
Be radiant, but delicate
Memorize the rules of etiquette
Be demure, sweet and pure
Hide the real you <-------------Seriously???


You must look feminine
Dress feminine
You're at your best feminine
Emphasize your femininity
That's what every girl should know
Femininity, femininity
That's the way to catch a beau





This song makes me want to vomit. 


You wanna know how I heard it? I got the 5 cd set of Disney's top songs to play in my classroom at work. And this song is on one of those cds. What a great message to send to children. Sure, there were 125 spots to fill, but surely a song like Reflection from Mulan (which didn't make the cut) would be a billion times better for girls (and boys) to hear.


Thoughts?
