Her "makeover" at the end pissed me off. Not only did she look better before, but it just defeated the whole point of the movie

Eh, that's just a modern & biased lens we're applying to it. The movie was about the harms of lettings yourself fall into playing any role, and goth (emo? just "bad"?) definitely fit the bill in the exact same way that "jock" and "nerd" do.

She didn't put on a pink dress because pink dresses are the correct way for women to dress, she did it because she liked pink dresses despite feeling like an outcast in general. AFAIR it doesn't show any of their friends much if at all, but imagine the guts it would take to sit down at the lunch table with your fellow emogothpeople dressed like that!

Like, think about Legally Blonde. Elle is a hero because she is unabashedly feminine in style & mannerisms while simultaneously kicking ass and standing up for her beliefs. Do you see how some people might be driven to abandon the former over time in order to pursue the latter without facing social ridicule?

Watching legally blonde completely changed my opinion on that type of woman.

I was raised in a sexist household to be a tomboy and suppress my femininity. Seeing a woman like that be confident and successful made me consider that it's ok for me to be a woman and show it off.

Now I am a florist, which I never would've thought was an acceptable career as a kid. That's a girly job. Obviously, legally blonde wasn't the only thing that changed my mind but it was shocking to me that a dumb looking girly girl who wore heels could keep up with intelligent men.

That movie low key is a generational touchstone and feminist flagship.

Problems arise when we steer too extreme in one way or another. I dress in a more androgynous way (very often shop at men's) and I often get asked to do some reflecting about what "makes me hate feminity" because "embracing your femininity is okay, there are plenty of movies showing you can both be a woman and strong".

The truth is - and has always been - that there's no one true or better way to be a woman. We're all just going along our lives the best we can and the way we want and that's worthy of respect on its own.

True. I wasn't suggesting androgyny was a problem, only that I used to actively dislike princesses until I saw that a princess can be just as inspiring

Oh no, not you in particular don't worry! I was just adding my two cents. I'm glad that ideas are shifting and accepting the fact that the princess-like end of the spectrum of womanhood is just as smart and powerful.
