"She [the princess] was, and still is, a smooth surface for men (a.k.a. "the hero") to project their needs and anxieties onto, or for women to perceive their anxieties about how they are seen by men -- what they are worth, where there worth resides. She swaps subjectivity for self-objectification, removes everything that makes her a person, assumes a new identity that is no identity at all." ~ Carina Chocano
