I admit it: the Disney Channel was on a lot in my house on a recent weekend. It was a long weekend, most of my daughters friends were away for the holiday, and I seemed to spend the whole weekend cleaning the house (first to make it nice enough for guests and then to put it back together after they left). So I let Rocky and CeCe of Shake it Up entertain my six-year-old for more hours than I should have. During one of those hours, as I tried to yet again to free a carpet from dried play-doh, I caught an interesting Disney-sponsored cross between a commercial and Public Service Announcement (PSA).
The “I am a princess” ad begins with a shot of a little girl dressed up like Snow White and continues on to show girls doing archery, surfing, balancing on the high beam, presenting science projects to judges, and helping old people. The girls (and families) featured in the one minute and 46 second video range in age from pre-school to high school and come in many shapes, sizes, and skin tones.
(The casting agent took her task of finding multi-cultural talent very seriously.) On top of these images inspirational music plays and a young, but authoritative, voice-over tells us:It turns out that this commercial was released in September (I can’t believe it took me this long to see it) by Disney as part of a “celebration of what it truly means to be a Princess, today. To be brave. To be kind. To be generous and compassionate. Join Disney as we celebrate the Princess inside every young girl. Long may they reign!”
I loved it. It was, as it was meant to be, moving and inspiring. I actually got chills on the line, “I’ve been told I am beautiful but I know I’m strong.” I want my daughters know that being strong is more important than being beautiful.Perhaps if I were less cynical, I would applaud this as a new direction for Disney maybe even suggesting that it’s the influence of Pixar, the makers of the Toy Story movies, which in an odd David and Goliath moment took over the larger studio a few years ago. But I am a cynic, and this is not a PSA, it’s an advertisement.
The only reason to add the line “I am a princess,” is to tie this ad back to the brand off of which Disney has made a fortune since Snow White was released in 1937. When you watch the ad you’ll catch glimpses of many of their princesses. There’s a shot of Snow White, an appearance by Cinderella, a clip of young girls watching Tangled, and a scene in which a father and daughter are dancing in front of a television while watching Beauty and the Beast.?In reframing their princesses as strong and generous and brave, Disney is clearly working to answer its critics who have been railing against the messages in princess movies for years. Many parents (including this one) have complained.sexual dysfunction is underreported and undertreated due to social stigma and misunderstandings about the physiology of male sexual response and orgasmic dysfunction in particular.
For decades it was believed that only women had problems with orgasm; our study shows that orgasmic dysfunction could be as prevalent among men as it is among women.While severity of dysfunctional ejaculation and orgasm correlated with ED severity, says Dr. Paduch, these issues were still surprisingly common in men with very mild ED: Orgasm dysfunction was reported by 26 percent in this group, and ejaculation dysfunction by 18 percent. This suggests that non-erectile sexual dysfunction is a regular occurrence even in men without ED.
The study reported factors associated with increased risk of ejaculatory and orgasmic dysfunction which includes commonly prescribed antidepressant medications. Ejaculatory and orgasmic dysfunction can be caused by low testosterone and minor brain injury such as that sustained by motor vehicle accident victims, football players suffering from concussion, or by soldiers with combat-related blast head injuries.
The most common ejaculatory dysfunction is premature ejaculation, but the condition also describes delayed ejaculation, inability to ejaculate, painful ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, as well as a reduced volume of ejaculate or diminished force of ejaculation. Orgasm dysfunction is defined as abs.e table with a hot drink and a cold drink so you can stimulate him with even more variety. And he can get all the atmosphere of having to hide away somewhere stuffy and illicit, he could even take a dirty mag in the wardrobe with him.Ikea sell a wardrobe with a suitably sized row of holes (which I think are supposed to be usable as convenient handles!!)
