    While these ponies are the embodiment of their respective friendship traits, they are not without their flaws. For example, even though Rainbow Dash represents the Element of Loyalty, she is brash, competitive, and will cheat to win a contest. Rarity embodies the Element of Generosity, yet she is often depicted as greedy, smug, and overly dramatic. Making mistakes and having faults instead of having the right answers all of the time is strength for the show because it presents the characters as multidimensional. Acknowledging these shortcomings, these ponies rely on each other to get through situations rather than taking on the world alone or portraying perfect, all knowing, pristine models of good behavior.…

    Imagine days where women could not be lazy. They could not roll out of bed minutes before they were supposed to go somewhere, throw their hair in a messy bun, dab on a little mascara, and call it a day. Instead, women were expected to be fully dressed in a dress, stockings, and high heels with a full face of makeup - face cream, primer, concealer, foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara, blush, lipstick - so they could spend the entire day at home preparing for their husband and children to come home. This was the case for most women during the 1950s - a time when men were the breadwinners and women spent hours of their time looking their best without traveling anywhere.
