Stephen Colbert Raises a Good Point

Only 4 American women have become Supreme Court Justices, but 8 American women have married princes or kings to become princesses. Why is being a princess so fascinating to young girls? What are the traditional jobs for women: nurse, mom, teacher. But seeing how 57% of college students are female, it will be interesting to see in twenty-five years what top three professions for women come to mind. Secretary of State seems to be a top choice in recent history.

But Grace Kelly sure is gorgeous in that princess wedding dress. Maybe there is no hope. Or maybe we can accept that the princess fantasy will persist outside of reality for the foreseeable future.
