  Well, I was just at a birthday party for a 22 year old woman the other night and five girls there were wearing tiaras. Also, perhaps you could do a myspace search for people whose screen names involve the word Princess in one way or another, I'm sure you'll come up with thousands of examples.

  I know that just using the word "women" in today's climate is considered incendiary but I am only attempting to describe what I have witnessed. If you're offended I'm sorry, but I've yet to have a girlfriend who didn't like being called "Princess" or didn't like being treated like a "Princess".

  And I'm glad you brought up Disney because I am sure they are at least partially to blame for promoting this notion of Princessliness.

  Valentine's Day is fast approaching, be sure to listen closely to radio commercials and watch closely television commercials and web ads as they implore the men of our nation to treat their "Woman" like a Princess this Valentine's Day. Perhaps you've not noticed the phenomenon but I have. Myself, I am an anti-royalist, so I pay particular attention to these things. You yourself admitted that on your wedding day you wore a tiara, well for my own part I have never in my life worn a crown and never will.
