I added a post explaining the error I made in addressing my letter to that other guy(s) instead of you. My bad.
I am not so sure it matters who created this phenomenon I perceive so much as it matters who embraces it. I think you make an excellent point when you suggest that the phenomenon is generational to some extent. Today's young American women are brought up with a sense of entitlement, even of divinity, in my opinion, and yes Disney and all the other agents of non-sense and fantasy do play a part. We, you and I, are perhaps not perceiving the same reality, which is not unusual when it comes to the perceptions of two individual Human beings.
I do however stand by my assessment and will continue to observe the situation. And rest assured, if I run into any guys proclaiming themselves Princess I'll be sure to tell them how absurd I think they are.
By the by, I did a myspace people search of the term Princess and there were over 8 million examples, far too many for my taste. I did the same search for the word Prince and there were only 500 examples. I cannot help but think this is relevant and informative.
