How do people still believe in the lie?

I'm sure most of you have heard about the "girl power" movement before. Well yesterday I was watching a documentary about the history of the Disney company, when a narrator said the following sentence "just like we have the 'beauty and the beast' Disney has the 'princess' movies intended for little girls"<br><br>I don't know what is wrong with people these days but I don't think the prince and beast movies were intended as male empowering, but I'm here wondering if even kids know that it's the female characters who are supposed to be the powerful characters in the 'princess' movies!<br><br>Anyway it got me thinking about all the lies people were telling about the 'princess' movies being feminist and promoting female empowerment, so I decided to avoid work and looked into the history of female empowerment movements, and what a surprise I got.<br><br>It all started when the french Revolution happened and the Jacobins made this Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen (1791), which is literally just a female version of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789.<br><br>Anyway I'm not going to lie I was too lazy to read through the rest of the pages, so I decided to look up the chronology of the feminist movement and the timeline of feminist history in the United States at wikipedia.<br><br>I'm now more lost than ever, because it's like even the historical events are contradicting each other. For example, I had read that the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 marked the beginning of the feminist movement in the United States, but then the chronology has 1792 as the starting point, and how can you end the movement in 1848 if it hadn't started in 1792? Or did it? Because it turns out that there were feminist movements before 1791, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there was a feminist movement before 1791. You see that the history books are just throwing random dates around, and I'm here wondering where are you supposed to start looking if you want to know what the truth is? Not to mention that they kept changing the definition of feminism, and the way they had divided feminism in different waves, movements, etc... is enough to drive anyone mad.<br><br>I spent hours studying the female empowerment movement and the feminist movement, and I still can't figure out what the point of all this is. I don't get it at all.
