There is nothing weak about being a mother. They sacrifice, protect and care at a unfathomable level.
And it requires so much emotional strength.
@@Mysterious-Nightexactly
Yeah!
The sad thing is, most women have the capacity to be amazingly strong if they follow the so-called traditional path of marriage and motherhood, but the lie that Hollywood is selling them that women can be physically strong enough to defeat men, monsters and aliens is not attainable to most women.
@@andrecoelho7721yeah I had a home birth it was amazing and I feel so empowered!!
She’s the only modern actress I’ve seen talking about the original Disney princesses without disparaging them
Her and Lily James
i think they all do, like halle & lily were really graceful and kind when talking about their characters
@@3mixesYeah. It seems like its only the Snow White actress that has a problem
@@whitedogsblackcatsmah. The ariel prinses wanted to change the story. Wanting love was not girlboss enough.
@@Rhyz-1So the 2 black girls are the ones that have the issue. Shocking.
Aurora is the "Kill them with kindness" type of strong, there's power in her innocence and delicateness
I don't think she's a kill them type at all.
She was hidden away in a forest for her entire childhood - she's just ignorant entirely of the world and has no reason to hate anything as a result.
@@mnomadvfxI don’t think she’s either. She’s extremely empathetic and compassionate because of how she was raised. Obviously there’s something wrong why she was raised that way, but there’s nothing wrong with how she acts because of that.
@@Lacroix999 And she could afford to do that...cos anyone who harm her would wish they break their own legs instead...
So are Snow White and Cinderella. Rachel Ziegler completely f over Snow White’s character. And as a woman, it freaking pisses me off.
@@Valkersonmeanwhile Lily James respected the original Cinderella and behaved like Cinderella with kindness and love
We love a girl who recognizes both sides 😭
FRRRR
Frrr 7.3k👍 wOW
real
I'm honestly a little bit surprised that Disney is letting such a traditional woman star as a princess in their new movie
❤
Among those Disney princesses, She is the only actor who correctly analyzes the character.
RZ should take note 😅
I don't know. I thought that Lily James had Cinderella down pat. Thats my favorite remake of the bunch by far and away.
@@adedow1333yeah cindrella was a treat ☺️
Aurora and Cinderella were the only good live action princesses. But Maleficent being an anti hero and changing the fairies hurts the movie
@@antithoughtpolice7497 But that wasn’t a live action sleeping beauty…. It was called “maleficent” not sleeping beauty or Aurora
Her message is perfect. I'm literally able to enjoy life because a WOMAN BIRTHED me. Motherhood is divine and beautiful
you enjoy life because your dad provided the spark of life that your mother then carried for 9 months. the SPARK is the KEY.
don't underplay that.
@@PumpdaBrakes-ub8kp i hate to break it to you, but org@sming (which men do very often, very painlessly, and very easily) in comparison to the hour by hour construction of making an entirely new human being from something minuscule, only to suffer incredible physical, mental and emotional side effects during and after pregnancy and birth - is not very impressive.
never forget what your mother did - your dad, my father, and everyone else’s, just came. that’s it.
@@m01015 my FATHER gave me the spark of life. My FATHER worked HARD to support his family. what are you talking about? the female of species gave birth. Nothing special.
Going day in and out, 80 hours a week in a job one does not like to support a family IS special.
it's a shame your single mother did not teach you that. that modern women does not appreciate what men bring.
@@PumpdaBrakes-ub8kp your FATHER came. that’s it.
your MOTHER went through physical torture to ensure your existence, and you call that nothing special? say that to her face, lmfao. you’re simply another angry, delusional misogynist who can’t stand the reproductive gap between men and women and hate to see women being praised.
you call childbirth nothing special but org@sming is? grow up.
(fyi, the female of the human species give birth. this does not pertain to every other species on the planet).
raising children is special as well. further, my supposed “single mother” in this conversation would have also had to do the same - give birth /and/ work. fathers don’t and CAN’T do that.
modern women are fine. my mother taught me everything she needed to. quite clearly, yours did not. men can bring a lot to the table, in a relationship, but org@sming isn’t one of those great things that should be praised over one of the most agonising pains a human being can endure after 9 months of other potential issues.
talk to your mother, if she’s still around, about how you think it’s more special that your father came - in comparison to her giving birth, and risking complications for the rest of her life.
@@PumpdaBrakes-ub8kp You don't appreciate your mother? The woman your father loves and decided she was special enough to start a family with? You don't deserve your parents, yes being a father is hard because they work full time to support their family and still have to come home to watch their kids and spend time with their wife. But does your mother mean nothing to you? The woman who carried you for 9 months, endured extreme pain for hours for you to be born just to end up hating her and acting like she doesn't matter? The woman who fed you and nurtured you and raised you to become a man?
Modern men don't appreciate what women bring either. You don't deserve your parents. Your father worked hard to give the woman she loved and the children they created a good life. You should be doing the same for them and your future wife. Unfortunately you don't live up to that and that's why you think women nowadays aren't good, because you don't appreciate them so the good ones aren't attracted to you.
Due to Aurora's softness and kindness in Maleficent, the villain turned to be a loving guardian to her. A change of heart is far more powerful than a kick to the face.
Maleficent's movie was soo bad im sorry. Yoy cant say the villain turned to be a loving character cause Maleficent is never a villain in that movie,its more like Beneficent
@@krucia9793cursing an innocent baby is what villains do, there’s no excuse for that
True.
@@krucia9793well yeah Angelina Jolie saved that profit 😂 however, Maleficient was pretty much misunderstood alot, she is usually kind to her surrounding and thus she needed a chance to be understood and loved, from a pure character like Aurora, just what she needed to get out of her dark chapter.
The scene where Aurora gets picked up as a toddler was not in the script. Apparently toddler Aurora was in absolute love with her “villain Mom”.
And thats why she played Aurora beautifully.
Yes because she understood the character unlike others who bash the og movie and add crazy thing to it instead of analyzing who the character is and what makes them strong.
Like Snow White’s is strong because she is kind and courageous. She isn’t a girl boss but she is still a strong feminine character
@@Betty_Boop87 Ikr and there's nothing wrong with wanting true love😭😭 Idk whats not feminine enough for Disney for them to change the whole concept we all have of Snow White.
@@hopeworld134 Disney never created the story. They got the story from someone else and had to change the whole storyline because it was inappropriate for kids. That is the animated version you praise. So I’m not sure why your upset now that they changed a few things when the movie you are talking about was nothing like the original story. Plus imo Snow White was always boring🤷🏾♀️.
@Thejinx546 I'm sorry but if you find snow white boring then just don't watch it, the main point of a live action remake is to make a live action version of the animation yet they're changing all the stories to the point that they might as well be completely different stories.
@@samanthaholmes5922 yeah I won’t and I never planned to with any version, but you didn’t read what I said. The animated version is not the original. The actual original was not appropriate for kids (snow white was 14 with a grown man). So you can’t really cherry pick just because things don’t go your way. It only makes your argument disingenuous.
I don't want to be a mum, but you can tell she will be a lovely mum. It takes a special heart to be a good mum
I respectfully disagree, I think good moms are more common than bad ones, it's nothing special it's actually the norm, it's just that media and people in general have a negativity bias
@@mrglassermen4281I agree.
@@mrglassermen4281i think its subjective but i will say theres nothing easy about being a good parent. It takes a daily comittment and sometimes you wont always get it right but you must persevere.
@@anthonyanderson9303 nothing is easy in general but that's life but being a good parent isn't somthing that's magical or unique it's somthing very very normal (at least where I'm form, I don't know much about the west)
Something can be normal and extremely difficult at the same time. This is an example.
I absolutely love her. She stated it with such class too. She didn’t bash any movies. Perfect.
Opposite of snow white actress😂
She actually makes you want to know the character she betrays. Rachel Zeigler makes you want to avoid her and anything she stands for.
Her and her sister have always been so mature for their age without it feeling weird, corny and cheesy. Their mother really must be awesome (and dad).
This makes me wanna watch the movie.
I LOVE Elle fanning she is such a damn good actress! If you haven’t watched “the great”you need to!
snow white is strong in the original. she looked after a bunch of people, ran away from an abusive home, essentially lost everything, passed away BUT CAME BACK TO LIFE? that’s pretty badass to me 😭
Literally, and they want to take that aspect away☠️
@@beingme._.eilonwy4571 who’s taking that aspect away. The point is she didn’t have to act all masculine to be a badass she did it being a feminine girl.
@@Snowwhit31104they mean they new "show white" movie where the actress think snow white is weak for falling in love plus there's no dwarf elf 💀
Show white didn’t drive any of those actions. She was chased away, she didn’t run away. She was brought back to life by a prince, she did not come back to life through any action of herself. She didn’t die, she went into an eternal sleep, and she passed out through her own naivety. Trusting an old hag. She didn’t sacrifice herself, or was knowingly brave. Let’s not pretend Snow White was something she’s not, in our quest to hate what Disney is doing now. Keep it real. Sue was a boring Princess with no agency. Not a badass
@@tiggerpup_nzthis is the point were trying to make, that people find normal feminine princesses 'boring'. just cuz she isn't 'badass' doesn't mean she isn't strong. if she wasn't strong, she couldn't have taken care of the dwarves and made all of them love her.
"Just because my dreams are different from yours doesn't mean their any less important." -Meg March (Little Women)
If you’ve ever witnessed a woman giving birth you realize how much strength and determination women have.
FOR REAL 😭😭😭 omg ! The things my mother tells me about birth and raising children… she would walk to work every single day while pregnant, work for 12 hours come home talks care of her 2 year old just to do it all again tomorrow… being feminine and taking care of people or kids or whatever it is you do doesn’t mean your not strong
@@Souls-at-zer0Exactly. It is disgusting that a powerful minority wants to get rid of media portraying that and call women like that weak, masochistic, sexist, etc.
They basically want to erase feminity and shame it and that is what is actually sexist.
My father-in-law says that if men had to do it there wouldn't be humans anymore lol
Right? I’m sorry but the strongest most badass thing a woman can do is push out a baby, extra points if she does it without drugs - that’s a woman YOU SHOULD FEAR 😂😂😂 I’m a woman, I worked construction all my life until I became a mother, hands down the hardest thing I ever did was give birth, oh and because of hospital making my first such a awful experience, that rage I got from that, forced me to have my other kids at home drug free 😂😂😂 the way society now treats women who choose to become wives, mothers, especially stay at home mothers, it’s absolutely disgusting. I’m sorry, but the greatest thing you can do in life is sacrifice everything for your children, raise them, have them. When you die, nobody is gonna give two shits about your degree, your job, legit if you die and don’t show up to work, your boss and co workers aren’t gonna care? They’re gonna be annoyed they have to do extra work while they find your replacement.
@@NerdyPanda-td1tzI don't give a damn about who thinks or remembers me when dead. I don't want to live in hell when I am not already dead. And I completely agree with you, there's nothing harder than being a mother. However, I cannot help but view "hard" in the sense of "miserable". I would never choose that life over other sources of fulfillment, which may come from my intelligence, my hard work, seeing things and projects succeed, and the enthusiasm of people around me, meeting brilliant people. Lastly, I can enjoy myself with the proceeds. It is true, when you do something you love, it might be hard, but you are never really miserable. We can do so much. We can positively affect the lives of so many with our individual talents. The idea of having to sacrifice my life for someone who is expected to damage my body, temporarily or permanently, and deal with me for unpleasant stuff such as cleaning, feeding and educating, all things I am not really prone to do, is living hell.
as they say, audiences dont hate strong female characters they hate bad writing
Mulan is an excellent example of that.
Ok but yeah sometimes they do lol. Diane from bojack horseman and Skyler white from Breaking bad are good examples of hated female character for little to no reason.
@@UwU-gm6ut When you watch breaking bad while married as an adult, you tend to be on HER side a lot more lol
They hate seeing a copy cut and paste characters with no personality
Jessica Pearson from Suits - she wears only dresses, has a breathtaking body, looks very feminine, but when she enters the room you know she and only she is a boss
Elle Fanning is a breath of fresh air.
Perfect message, Elle. We need more women like her, please! Nothing wrong with being feminine or being a mom. That takes strength.
I’d say Aurora AND Mulan are feminine. Feminine energy protects the vulnerable whether it’s a mama bear protecting her cubs or Mulan protecting her frail dad from having to fight in the war. Fighting to conquer territory is masculine. Fighting to defend and protect the vulnerable is feminine. I think feminine energy includes a way wider range than we traditionally think. Also being a more of a softer feminine doesn’t mean you have to be married. feminine energy in all its forms exists outside of other people. It’s not about serving others be it your husband or children. Femininity is just a state of being. You can be a softer feminine without children or a husband.
@@madelineklao1504
I would say protecting the family is for both mother and father
It’s a nothing statement
@@madelineklao1504mulans a great character but she’s very masculine lol
@cucumber790 she disguised herself as a man but she was still feminine.
Mom's are the strongest people I know. Can't mess with a moma bear
Tell me about it my mom is about the last person you wanna mess with, that and her trusty slipper that NEVER EVER misses
And I absolutely love her for it
Then you need to know more people 😂
Damn right... My mom raised 4 boys basically on her own while going to school to become a special ed. teacher, then worked until well past the time we had all moved out. Nothing weak about her!
@@ckosturikI hope you tell her that! 💙
@@sarahcaitlyn88 She knows!
The strongest thing I have ever done in my life is grow little people in my body. Now my husband and I have the joy of raising them to be good people. My 11 year old absolutely loves children and wants to be a nurse. She wants to care for children. And I think that is amazing.
she is an actual treasure to hollywood. bless elle.
It's so nice to see that a girl understands that she literally CAN BE WHOEVER SHE WANTS.
Literally Feminist have been saying this shit for years
Huh???? Isn’t that always the message? But because I’m this case it’s feminine it makes it correct?
What nonsense! You cannot be whoever you want. You can only do your best you with what you have. Even then the outcome is not guaranteed.
@@auhhhgggrrr9065 bcuz it's fact
Mothers are one of the strongest beings.❤
Milan also went to war because she took the place of her ill and disabled father. In that regard, it’s the most feminine thing she could have done, because IN that DNA of being feminine comes a natural instinct to put the needs of the ones you love before your own needs. That’s called love and nurturing action. It was driven by a feminine instinct. Elle Fanning, beautifully said.
❤❤❤
I don't know if I would consider that a feminine trait. Many men have sacrificed for their family, friends and country. It's love , pride and honour! It's not a gender specific trait. You either have it or you don't!
That is not necessarily feminine.
@seeya205 The point was that yes feminism looks different, but the verity is equally strong. Females can be bold like Mulan but also what aurora was represented as. She represented the traditional femininity. Different representations but equal feminity(strength)
@@nataliegill1838 People should be able to be themselves. There is no wrong way! Just be you and live your best life!
Women are strong in all different ways. There are masculine women, feminine women, women in between. We don’t have to be one certain way to be strong.
This reminds me of a story I read of a warrior who got badly wounded in battle so he couldn't fight anymore and instead became a weaver to provide for his tribe and truly found his passion in his work. He was more content doing this "weak" work than he'd ever been as a warrior fighting. Why is it that in modern society not wanting to be a 'traditional' fighter regardless of gender is being looked down upon? What is so bad about wanting to be a nurturing person?
And that’s why Maleficent were both huge films.
Huh?
@@wstavis3135it's because SLEEPING BEAUTY Disney movie version is titled MALEFICENT where Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning play the role of Maleficent and Aurora respectively. It got 2 films and both are huge hit.
Love her perspective on this! She seems thoughtful and well-spoken.
I am so proud of Elle Fanning and her maturity, kindness and her approach to family values
Being a mother will never be weak for me. My mom raised me alone and escaped an abusive relationship with nothing. She worked every job that she can and I think she's tougher than any superheroes. Single mothers are the real girlbosses! 💚
You confusing toughness with strength
@@ЕвгенийПершин-е1ьto be able to provide, love and care for your children by yourself when there’s supposed to be 2, it’s definitely being strong. What an unnecessary comment lol
@@mariecoheng if mediocre strength is enough for you, then yes. Am i represent strength when i open pickles for my wife? Not that much. Otherwise i could relate strength of masculinity to jar of pickles.
Of course raising children is another challenge than puny jar, but i wouldn't link that to Strength that much. Strength is tied to ability bring impact on this world, and men represent that a lot more than women do. And since women prefer to stay feminine, thier strength is to guide mans strength in the way of her choosing.
Back to single motherhood, even statistically, those strong women aren't produce that good result. It's like congratulating myself for ability to still breath. It could be hard for me to breath at the moment, requiring huge effort, but world won't change from me simply breathing.
Strength is something particular or everything? And why women that let thier household to dissolve are strong? Am i strong for giving a criminal a fight at all, yet dying in the end? I don't think so
@@ЕвгенийПершин-е1ь this is my own opinion. FOR ME, my mom is my superhero and the toughest person ever. She managed to support both me and my brother. At one point, she even became underweight because she's not eating enough just for us. And that alone why I think my mom is the toughest.
@@geraldine286 i agree, she is though. In the context of femininity and weakness that what I've meant to say, she is not.
Femininity is supposed to be strength that rules masculine strength, which could lead to impact on universe...
But modern women confused all of this, your mother being an example. She strong for keeping you all above surface, but not strong enough to be on ship, sort of speak. Like, you know, strong man won't find himself in poverty they say, strong woman would find herself in household, near the men she loves and admires.
But since women are independent these days, thier femininity not protected by thier fathers and brothers, of course this will lead to failed relationship and broken households at bigger rate. Making femininity a stupid weakness at first thought, if you ignore fathers guidance and care.
Idk, i just find one single individual being not bigger than an concept of whole gender behavior, thus wouldn't think to bring it up, especially when it's damn hard to play femininity when your kids need father role from you too. But it just my idealistic take, even thou people don't like to live in reality and constantly validate themselves as the best of the best, when in reality, they could be just average(which is fine to be, but not to reject)
I think the Fanning girls are incredibly well turned out considering the measure of fame they achieved at such young ages. Love hearing her say this about motherhood and marriage. So refreshing!
It is all from their family. I grew up my whole life with her dad's side. They are really good people ❤
Just being a mom is already SO strong
Elle Fanning understanding her character like a pro.
She really did state that beautifully. We have lost the feminine touch to these princesses and there is nothing wrong or weak with wanting to be a mother or feminine. I think something is wrong when we think that feminine energy is weak because as she said it is strong and beautiful and definitely just as powerful in these movies. Also to add to what I just said it definitely is important for little girls to have feminine role models as young girls.
Why you don't look at this not from emotional, which is true, but meeeh "oh my god, femininity is so strong and beautiful", but practical view...
This world is not a fairytale, feminism freed women from "oppression" and gave them freedom to gamble, to be in danger. Newsflash, when you wander alone to deal with random men, without men of your community, not only it's hard to overcome women's flaws, nobody even teach them they have ones
Women need either men to express thier femininity safely or, by today's standards, insane amount of awareness, which only ~5% could enjoy
Most of the Disney princesses have strong feminine energy.
Yeah well all the "best women" nowadays are all dudes in a dress.
@@ЕвгенийПершин-е1ьthey are fictional movies that dont need to have their story rewritten to make girl boss to show women to be strong. Disneys job is to entertain us not cram political views down our throat. Guns exist and equalize everyone who has one. Women can have them too and promise you a woman by herself with a gun and a woman with a man who has a gun are the same thing. If you are with a man and he isnt armed then you better hope the bad people never have a weapon. Even as a guy i carry a knife, a neck knife, and a gun. Maybe if women worried less about how tight there pants make their ass look in public they could carry a weapon in a better spot than their purse. Everyone in public should be watchful of their surroundings regardless of which gender you are. Your body language can also make you a target. Women have ways to protect themselves. They wanted the good things men had and like it or not they got the bad things too well just a few of the bad things.
@@tylerw9529 you missed the point. The question is not how to do things right, but how to stop people think to do things wrong.
As you said, women have ways to protect themselves, i tell that they had ones, that allow them to be feminine, they decide that way of protecting yourself is to throw that useless stupid femininity away, and pull it at the VERY END of relationships, when she is finally comfortable and man is finally checked out of relationships
People who think mothers are weak never saw a mother after someone hurt their child. Mothers can be powerful and scary af if necessary. They are certainly not weak.
It’s interesting how much Hollywood loves “toxic masculinity” as long as it’s portrayed by a woman
Totally agree. And they love to forget about toxic femininity
😂
You worded this perfectly!
That is why feminists hate the term "likeable character" They want to be toxic and you are supposed to like it.
Good point
There's nothing weak about being a mother. You HAVE to be strong to bring a child into this world and then to devote yourself to caring for that child. That's a whole other level of strength. If you know, you know.
Yep, being a mom is by far the hardest most demanding job I’ve ever had.
She understands that being a mother is the strongest thing that you can do
We need kindness, softness, and gentleness in the world just as much as strength and boldness.
We are definitely out of balance.
Yes it’s constantly pulled to one side either too much strength and boldness or too much kindness, softness, and gentleness but there isn’t one solution. We focus to much on which is better but we never consider that both are good in society for a variety of different people.
That's the sweetest thing a celebrity has ever said.
And a woman wanting to become a mother is EXTREMELY brave considering the pain a woman has to go through in that process
Its actually Elle Fanning's character's love, spirit and compassion that makes her strong. So much so that shes the one that stops the "evil" queen not her father, who is a warrior king with an army.
The love in her heart is what took Malificent out of darkness.
I loved her as Aurora. I think she was the first woman that actually opened me up to the idea of feminine is not the enemy. It’s just who you can be.
Feminine was never the enemy and I love being feminine. I want to become a mother, dresses are my favorite clothes. I wish there were more strong feminine women in movies and shows
@@Mysterious-Nighti agree and I prefer dresses and skirts to wearing pants
@@Itsdasummer32 Same
@@Itsdasummer32 it’s so much cooler (temp wise) than wearing pants!
@@Itsdasummer32 nice pfp
Being a mother is what strength is.
Plus, it’s not like all of the Disney princesses want love and married. Look at Mulan, tiana, rapunzel, Merida. The first 3 weren’t looking for love at all it just fell in their laps and Merida ended up not getting married and not wanting love. They don’t need to ruin the traditional princesses just so it supposedly supports another group. We have made Disney characters of all genre. Please just leave our traditional ones traditional.
Yeah... I really loved Rapunzel love story.. She got a gem even though she was not looking for it ☺️
Merida is a good example to use. If they wanted a strong/brave woman character with no romance that would have been a perfect character. However, Idk if saving her mom makes her a strong independent woman in their eyes so🤷♀️
Honestly even an older princess like Cinderella was just trying to have a good time at the ball. Prince Charming was just a bonus. Cinderella was just trying to escape her abusive home.
To be fair, Merida got a lot of viewer hate, and part of that was how she was so immature around love and didn’t change. (Ie they didn’t make her want love and then fall in love)
That wasn’t me. I liked that movie, I own it. But I remember the backlash
I agree!
I can see why they want to change some 'problematic' aspects of some stories. For example, both princes in Aurora and Snow White just decided to kiss random girls in the comatose state--and apparently, the princesses are underage and there's age gap criticism, which I think is valid. But, instead of changing the characteristic or feminine traits they should change the problematic aspect instead. I mean, Maleficient is exactly that and it did well.
Elle Fanning perfectly details what it means to be a true feminist
History and the patriarchy (which includes the beliefs and practices of BOTH men and women) told us that to be feminine is to be weak. We then over corrected, but are now in a place of where we can reflect and address the over correction.
ATTN: Rachel Zegler: Elle honors the classic that everyone loves and still finds strength in the character. Love this!
I saw her interviews and I'm very saddened how she talks about Snow White. I'll just pretend that movie won't happen.
@@nooneseriously22 I'll be pretending with you.
@@driel4983i'll pretend never heard about snow white remake as well..
@@andrew10862 we're starting a movement...😮
Elle Fanning seems to be a very balanced person! Good on her! ❤
Being humble and being a good wife and mom is a definite strength, especially nowadays , when it's belittled.
Bro, if someone says a mother is weak, go birth out a child, hear the child cry all night and barely sleep, you are constantly tired, but still continue to be a mother their whole life and smile through the pain. A mother is such a strong person, so never underestimate one or disrespect one. I may not be a mother, but I know damn well that it would not have been easy for my Mum to birth me out and take of me when she was in pain as she smiles and waves. Love you Mum, you are my hero and I love you so so so much. ♥️♥️♥️
she’s so right. we started seeing being a mother is weak. but that’s not true, being a mother is so strong?!
Such a beautiful message. Strength has nothing to do with physicality. It's all about one's mentality.
I like that she didn't bash any side, instead just stating the facts. I don't know her well, but she seems quite well-spoken.
Great to hear this from someone like Elle.
Elle and her sister Dakota are awesomeness
Wow, this is incredible. I can’t move believe I’ve never seen this
“when did we equate being feminine to being weak?”
It’s Disney, This is how they’ve always felt.
It started after Walt.
Nah that's literally where homophobia stems from,the patriachy did
@@jeffersonhassan4558 if only people would realise that the root of these problems is the patriarchy
It's so unfair how femininity is looked down upon these days. For example, when you think "stay at home mom" does that bring up positive associations for you? These women are thought of basically as lazy mooching losers.
To me, after building a career for 10 years, the only thing I want to do is build my family. I've realized there is nothing more important to me than that and I feel like an idiot for putting it off all these years.
But you will never hear this messaging in today's society. To be a strong woman you basically have to become a man.
She is bang on! She is a girl boss in her own right!
Elle is a wonderful actress and very wise, people do miss that a lot because she's also beautiful, FEMININE and bubbly
This is such a beautiful way to describe it. As a Mom, stay at home Mom at that, i see everyone seeing this as a weakness just makes me sad. This interview was beautiful
Many feminists wanted to equate femininity with being able to do everything a man can do. In the process they conflated feminism with masculinity. Such a weird turn of events. Now they view feminine strength with weakness. At least men are becoming more feminine now 😂Balances it all out. Maybe women can start carrying men across the threshold after they pop the question and buy a house for their soyboy 🤷🏻♂️
Being a stay at home parent is one of the hardest jobs and let's be honest, it is a job. As a stay at home mom, you never get a break, people don't know how hard it is to take care of children and do housework as well, and many stay at home parents also work remotely so you have that to factor in as well.
I honestly admire you because I would go insane within months.
@@Yorbelize thank you so much and I apologize for seeing this so late. ❤️
My mom is one of the STRONGEST people I know. She’s the definition of a fighter.
Women in their "masculine energy" is pain, not strength.
When I was little and watched Maleficent with my mom, I absolutely loved the way she portrayed Aurora. She seemed so cheerful and happy and the acting was so wholesome! My mom & I loved it fr 💗
I asked my mother what her childhood dream was before she became a mom, she said “to be a mom, and make a home for my family”, and now that I’m older, and realized I’ve always have got a “home”, I realized that that is some hardcore heroic aspiration.
Ellle Fanning's Aurora and Lily James' Cinderella were the best princesses portrayal so far.
Mama Bears are 'Girlbosses' on a whole other level!
this is a very underrated statement
So true. My mother can be downright terrifying when in ‘Mama Bear’ mode. Like, she is 5 ft. tall but she seems 10. And I love her for it.
Being a parent of a child is as easy as popping a baby out . Being a good MOTHER is about self sacrifice and bear claws coming out in their defense and sleepless nights. It’s not easy being an intentionally good mom, it takes strength. Love her boldness to say so
That's impressive. There aren't many grounded celebs anymore.
This girl should have been cast as snow white instead
Yup gives her a dark bob wig and she'll be perfect
@@cffggtfgh4865She is naturally a brunette. She would be great!
@@seeya205 really? I always thought the Fanning is naturally blonde
@@cffggtfgh4865 Just look at her roots and eyebrows.
She’s already Princess Aurora and I’d rather have her continue in Maleficent if they choose to do more.
God bless Elle for honoring her mom.
Rachel Zegler needs to listen to this
Being a mother is the strongest thing a person can be
Bill Burr Would like to talk to you.
That's a bit of a generalisation.
QUEEEEEEN. Literally, this is a true queen.
Spoken like a true Disney Princess.
One of the many many reasons to why I love Elle Fanning.
Strength of character is what matters most of all, and most of society is seriously lacking character. We are lazy, illogical, self-centered, entitled, PRIDEful, greedy, lustful, vengeful and spiteful of the truth.
Elle Fanning worded that beautifully and flawlessly ❤
Off white and the 7 minorities giving the side eye lmao
😂 "off white"😂
😂😂😂
Women being women has always been a great trait thats unfortunately now rare. Love her speech! 👍🏽
So glad to see this recognized and brought forward. Beautiful❤
One of my favorite compliments I've ever received was when a friend told me, I was the most feminine woman to be such a strong person he's ever known.
I smile everytime I think about it.
Thanks Michael! 💗
I love this message! Strength comes in many different ways.
Mulan is not even a princess per se. She was just included in Disney's Princess line.
Well freaking said I think Rachel Zegler needs to hear this
This! Being a mother takes great strength and faith in yourself. I love this.
I adore that she did the quote fingers on "strong"...
My mom is 85, and one of the strongest people I've ever met. The strongest women in the world are the ones that raise a family, support their husbands, and take care of all of lifes blows to that family. All with a smile and kind word.
❤
Do you ever wanna be a parent someday?
@@justinsigler1565That question is too questionable 😂😂😂😂
Exactly, a woman told me when I was a kid to never confuse femininity with weakness.
This is the perfect message. I love this. She is a perfect person to voice women.
Elle described it so beautifully!!
I once knew a woman who refused to watch a movie (such as Lord of The Rings) if it didn’t have ‘strong’ female characters in it. This was in, like, 2002 🤦🏻♀️
Not everything needs to be ‘reimagined’ and female-empowerment themed
Funny enough LOTR actually did have great strong female characters in it. They were beautiful and soft and romantic, but could also kick some butt too if they needed like that one blonde one who stabbed that creature in the face with a sword after her dad died. She definitely had lots of feminine energy through the movie but then displayed her strength when she needed to be strong. Nothing wrong with that at all. Women are incredibly strong when we need to be.
@@anitathompson326 Yep, I fully agree. I think it was Eowyn. Galadriel was also great. But, unless you watch them, you wouldn’t find that out!
Definition of a Mother: cleaner, taxi, planner, secretary, cook, dresser, washer, nurse etc.. where in the world is this not all a job because they don’t get payed? Next to this they also need to have a payed job so they can work to finance daycare because otherwise they can’t work. Yes Ofcourse a man need to the rest that’s just a little part that is needed to maintain the household because that is needed I think all the jobs that a mother does is kinda enough isn’t it? But now woman getting so disrespected that they think they need a payed job to be important. What’s wrong with this world!!! We need eachother!!
"Feminism isn't about making women stronger, women are already strong, it's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."- *GD Anderson*
Exactly,the world has always perceived feminity as weakness, that's where homophobia stems from
Cinderella is one of my favorite princesses because she works hard and she shows her vulnerable and “weakness” when she cries. She’s the strongest Disney Princess of all.
Being a mother takes incredible strength.
YESS MAAM I LOVE HER EVEN MORE NOW!
Being a mother, a real mother, is the most strong thing on earth.
Being a feminist really just means making your own choices like wanting a family or not, wanting a career or not or wanting both😅
I love this 🥹❤️ I found my greatest strengths in being a mother. Thank you, Elle 🙏🏼💐
Now we just have to wait for Fanning to be called sexist, racist and transphobic 😂
Why do you guys truly believe liberals hate femininity?
Most of us don't give a damn how other people choose to live their lives, be who or whatever you want.
That's what makes us liberal.
On the other hand, it's the right who seem to lose their collective minds over how people live. Like Dylan Mulvaney and the fact she did a beer commercial, and let me say it for you because I know it's coming "Dylan is a HE", "you mean HIM".
She understood the assignment ! 🤩💖💖
I always thought her smile was the purest and most kind smile I've ever seen. I never get tired of seeing her smile.
