Of course, we're talking about Frozen.
In August, the Big Bang Theory star began writing for Jewish parenting blog Kveller, and one recent post earned quite a response: "Why My Sons and I Hate the Movie Frozen."
Among her gripes against the Disney musical? For one, she'd prefer the Anna/Hans romantic subplot be even less prominent. "Sure, it's sort of hidden, but the search for a man/love/prince is still the reigning plot line in the movie," Bialik writes. She also feels the twist of Hans being the villain verges on male-bashing ("Because you know, men can't be trusted? Meh.") and that Anna and Elsa are designed with doll-like proportions. ("My sons thought the females looked like Bratz dolls. Truth be told, I kind of agree.")
More than 800 readers have posted comments, many pointing out perceived flaws in Bialik's criticism, and even Rosie O'Donnell issued a response.
Following a similarly controversial post about a sexy Ariana Grande billboard, Bialik felt compelled to write a new post, "Three Surprising Things Mayim Bialik *Does* Like."
The take-away? Regardless of whether you agree with her, Mayim Bialik can now add "blogging" beneath "acting" and "neuroscience" to the list of things at which she's been exceedingly successful.
