    I read a conspiracy theory that Disney movies were designed to teach girls that marrying older men while you’re a child is normal.

      I mean, back when, it wasnt uncommon to be marrying young. Cinderella came out in 1950, a time where women didnt go to college, and it wasnt uncommon to be married right after high school to someone who could provide for you, would could easily be 22. Thats for everyday people. I imagine being royalty, where you didnt really have to go to high school or college, shakes those ages up even more

      I wouldnt go as far as to call it a conspiracy theory because that wasnt out of the ordinary at the time
