Even if we do not allow our boys to watch The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers or play with GI Joe, are we really going to forbid the male rescue dramas, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker? Will they never hear of Robin Hood saving Maid Marion or of Lancelot’s great feats for Guinevere? How much of Western civilization should we be willing to lop off for the sake of political correctness? And while there may be a particular, rather rarefied segment of the population that carefully screens the effects of such cultural influences on their daughters and sons, the majority of parents do not.
