It is incredible that we are repeating history like this. The same crap was said about when Katharine Hepburn wore pant suits in movies.

There’s a tremendous difference. Actresses who wore slacks in the 1930s and 40s (not just Hepburn, but Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, etc) were seen as threatening by some - though by no means all - men. This was only partly due to their sartorial choices, and much more to the fact that they were aggressive and intelligent.
The current flap over candy and cartoon mice isn’t the same. No one - not even the conservative yammerheads making the noise about it - sees this as a threat. It’s just one more inconsequential thing for them to flap their gums about.
