See, here’s the problem.

But there’s this, too: what I’m about to complain about is not something that’s uniquely a Winnie the Pooh problem but yet another example of a problem that plagues our pop culture. So it didn’t seem fair to make it seem like I was piling on poor old Pooh.

Here it is now.

I was sitting there watching Winnie the Pooh and letting the silly, utterly inconsequential sweetness wash over me when suddenly it struck me, for the millionth time but with the power of a new ephiphany: Every single character but one here is male… and the only female character is defined exclusively by her motherhood.

okay look i’m all for supporting feminism, fuck i am a feminist, but it’s kind of stupid to complain about this considering the fact winnie the pooh was first publish in 1926. so? at that time period, women didn’t really have a role BESIDES mother. i mean, it’s a big step that milne allowed a woman at all into his story as a main character and not a love interest. 

just saying. 

And it’s a story for children for fuck’s sake.

smh at that commentor

And also, Winnie The Pooh and co. are figments of Christopher Robin’s imagination. How many little boys would imagine their stuffed animals to be female? Not many.

If Christopher Robin was a girl, probably all the animals except a couple would be female. 

Stupid post is stupid.

even though they had male voices (some of them) i really

saw them all mostly always as genderless

cause they’re fucking toys

also ITS FUCKING WINNIE THE POOH GET OVER YOURSELF

Don’t ruin this movie for me, Internet Feminists. It’s probably the sweetest, most sincere kids movie I’ve seen in a long time.

Go analyze the creepy post-apocalyptic human-less society of Cars 2 or something.

lol people overanalyzing an anthropomorphic cartoon world deeply rooted in childhood imagination for not being feminist enough

also dont ruin this movie for me i won’t get to see it for another three weeks

and when you think about that you realize that should be the biggest injustice of all

wow seriously

out of all the injustices in the world, time to focus on winnie the pooh

WAIT A FUCKING SECOND

…Roo is a BOY?

Regardless of Poo misrepresenting females in children’s media is a huge problem (and one of the reaons My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is fantastic.)

Hey, guys, so here’s the thing(s).

• AAMilne wrote the ORIGINAL POOH STORIES (like, the books? Remember those?) for his young son. Young boys don’t like girls during story time. They like boys. And dirt and roughness and lalala.
• The characters in Pooh are Christopher Robin’s toys. Again, young boy at play. It makes sense that they’re all boys. When little girls play, nearly all characters are girls!
• When you’re six, gender isn’t shit. No one cares.

Well then, what the fuck is the balloon?
