Kudos to the potty mouth princesses
With their hair and makeup, most were surprised to hear the slew of cuss words that came out of their mouths.

It is hard to believe a select group of 8-10 year old girls can create as much controversy as Miley Cyrus. However, these little girls, who have earned the nickname “potty mouth princesses,” have done so in their videos on YouTube. The girls have taken a stance against gender inequality by dropping the f-bomb and other various profanities to raise awareness.
They each wore cute princess dresses to challenge the stereotype that little girls are fragile and dream of becoming princesses themselves one day. With their hair and makeup, most were surprised to hear the slew of cuss words that came out of their mouths.
It’s definitely attention grabbing to hear young girls swearing and discussing topics like rape, domestic abuse and the income gap between men and women. They made it clear this was an unfair double standard and even shared statistics to back up their arguments.
These kids really hit on every problem between the two genders in their few-minute-long video. This will hopefully shed more light on these overlooked issues and promote equality.
As with any controversial video, people immediately took to Facebook and other social media to blast the company for letting the girls use that kind of language. Be that as it may, I congratulate them for challenging this issue with gender stratification. If it takes letting the younger generation talk like sailors, so be it. We are too far advanced in our open-mindedness to let these problems continue.
They have started selling T-shirts that say: ‘Girls just wanna have FUN-da-mental rights’, which is a pun based off the famous Cyndi Lauper song. Since the T-shirt sales began, more and more advocates have joined the bandwagon, and that sounds like pure success to me.
