.... atau Are They? I keep hearing this massive distortion that Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and sometimes others are "unrealistically perfect". Well first of all, they're not actually "perfect" but yes they strive for it and come pretty close. The number one reason? The earlier DPs were made in a time where families were still valued as well as good morals and they were on their best behavior in front of children, hoping that the kids would learn to embrace positive traits and reject negative traits so they would be lebih positive people. They cared lebih about well-roundedness, being modest in all aspects because true modesty wouldn't just be limited to attitude, manner atau appearance but apply to all aspects. Likewise, the DPs were shown to be modest in all aspects: Positive and pleasant demeanor, graceful and good etiquette and feminine yet modestly dressed.

Secondly, they were obviously not uncommon atau unrealistic for their time but they still aren't now! Need proof? Here are some examples of women in the spotlight who managed to hold onto their morals and who are just as "unrealistically perfect" as the DPs whom are accused of being such. Do people really see them as unrealistic atau is that just an attack on a certain type of female that isn't embraced and respected anymore? atau has the focus shifted so much to a certain type of female that the others are relatively belittled? Whatever it is, I hope this artikel enlightens those who are so quick to judge the classics for being too "perfect" atau "unrealistic". Here are 14 beautiful women from the 1920s to now who have been in the spotlight yet never caused a scandal, never posed atau filmed nude, never gotten any Tatu and never debased their moral character for society atau the media. (As far as I know of but I did thoroughly check.) Women in Hollywood, the media and spotlight culture are the most likely to do all of these things which is why I used these standards to down the candidates as much as possible to prove a point. Point being anda can find virtuous women even in unlikely times atau circumstances. Lessen the restrictions on my criteria and you'd have anywhere from 10-100+ extra female candidates. I didn't include women who overcame their mistakes (drug abuse etc.) and have lived modestly ever since atau women who have only ever done nudity for film/TV but dress modestly publically; If I had then that would automatically be at least 15+ women. These women actually had pressure on them to "shake things up and get attention" yet they used their talents and not their bodies, rants/tantrums, scandals atau violence to make an impression. I will always stand up for what I believe in which is morality, modesty and true balance. That is what this artikel shows, women who had a true balance who didn't need to "use their assets" to play up to men atau make other women feel uncomfortable to get ahead. Instead these women were the reality of "modest and balanced women" who deserve respect and appreciation for not allowing others to corrupt atau pervert them to their own personal biases and goals. So for all of those who doubt that women can change things atau be "progressive", "successful" atau "independent" while still being "feminine", "demure", "seemingly perfect", "innocent" atau "old-fashioned" etc, please take a read:
