No more fairy tales?( Feminists Is need your help)

Ok. Me? I'm glad I got to know My Girl Snow White and Cinderella.And to set things straight my guy is my Prince Charming!

Why do you want women to lower themselves to be equal with men? As I see it women have Always been stronger in some ways than men. And men are stronger than women in other ways . To try to make them equal is pointless.But with that said. As long as the title remains the same . I mean fireman Not fireperson, then both genders should be paid the same. So if you see women as equals And that they are Suppose to fight their own battles it is wiser to not read to old fiction fairy-tales, especially to a Capricorn child like I was. I could detect B.S, from a mile away. I would see the fairy-tale and then the real life stuff as a bait and switch. I would cling to the first version and throw away the second! I totally understand the ultra Christians not having their kids read Harry Potter. They take the written word as fact, not fiction. so to have their child read about wizards would make them believe in wizards, something completely against the rules. Remember, they people are descendants of the Puritans. And the Puritans didn't have a sese of humor And saw All entertainment as sinful.So it makes perfect sense!

The kids of ultra Christians are either just like their parents or they rebel. Now it all depends on the child how bad it gets! I see and agree on how dangerous Harry Potter is to the ultra Christian. But then again not all art is for everybody! I only like Snow White. I don't remember being read Cinderella. In fact the reason I remember Snow white is because I have a record of it. I mean a vinyl record with BBC English voices and a full orchestra. That is why you couldn't Pay me to see this new version. I am a male chauvinist. I'm for men more than women .so I see Snow White not letting Prince Charming save her as an insult. Yes I said Let him. When it comes to this so called battle of the sexes I Know women have already won! A straight woman can live without a man as a straight man Needs women. war won! everything else is minor. ps. Wait! Did I Just miss your birthday? Is it coming up. Send me a PM if it is coming up.

As in equal, I met the same pay for the same job and other things like that, which still doesn't always happen. And in some ways biologically speaking, we had to be stronger because of our reproduction system. And I've never been one to try to go around being 'politically correct' and change fireman to fireperson, that's never been high on my agenda. I guess being the Gemini child I was, I seen a lot of possibilities to the same story. I was never fond of the fairy tales when I was younger, and I remember crying in one of them when the dragon was slayed. During high school, I remember writing a short story from the dragon's point of view, about how she was trying to save the princess from making the biggest mistake of her life by marrying this so called prince charming. I can see their view point on Harry Potter, I just don't agree with it. I've known many ultra chritians, whose children had gotten into far worse things, while their parents were worried about keeping them away from Harry Potter, so I think they worry about the wrong evils.

If they are taught logical thinking , they won't like Any of the fairy tales! It won't matter if the princess fights or doesn't. hey will reject Any fiction.

It will take a while to understand the whole logical thinking for some I am sure. I dont think its terrible to like the fairy tales. I just dont think that its a base to live by. And neither will my daughters. The fictional enjoyment of fictional movies is a given for many people as a means of entertainment.

But if they are too logical , they will dismiss fairy tales as silly nonsense.

I will never have children Thank G-d! And I wouldn't raise girls! I am just a dinosaur who prefers Snow White as a damsel in distress And in real life I am for men's fights.I just wondered what a feminit would do with the old versions of the fairy tales.

Us Yanks sugar coat Everything!

wow bobmnu, this is fascinating! i have not heard this about fairy tales. although, i now know it about dr. seuss stories! when i was a child i thought i would try to read the original grimm's fairy tales, and boy were they grim! the andersen fairy tales were better, but none of them were fairy tales as americans know them!

Call me old fashioned but I always will see men as stronger in some things and women stronger in others.And if women are doing Everything for themselves then why do we need men? So the girls should see Snow White The Huntsman , but not the boys. Or I am correct, if you want to raise a female femist , they should Never read ANy of the old fairy tales!

As a kid I saw older movies that were for adults and I did get there meanings.I never saw Alice In Wonderland , nor Mary Poppins. I know Snow White and The Huntsman is for teens. I just wondered how many of today's kids will ever know the traditional versions.All of this makes me happy I am not a parent Nor a kid today. I'll stick to my version of Snow White Thank You.

I never said that person can do everything on there own. We all need someone weather its a guy or not because no one person can do everything on there own. I'm not saying that a girly movie is for girls only. Of the age of when most kids watch these movies or read the books they don't interrupted the meaning behind it. Movies are movies and books are books. There a story and to every story there is always more then one view of how things went. These stories are told to help kids go to sleep, and to keep dreaming about things because when you work hard things will get good or work out the way you possibly want them to. A lot of little girls want to be a princes and lot of little boys want to kill a dragon or something. Snow White and the Huntmans isn't for little kids this is an adult movie or teen base movie not its for the little kids that parents normally read these books to and even then if it where the little kids wouldn't give a rats a$$ because they don't understand. If you think back to a lot of movies that you watched as a little kid you wouldn't have never of guessed what the real message was. To me a book is a book period with many many meaning in to which every person will see something different then what the writer is seeing. Nothing wrong with a girl saving the day and nothing wrong with a guy saving a day either. There is no right or wrong. It's just a different view that it is all it is. What a parent choice to read to there kids I double they really think is this to girly or too boy like. I don't even think of that at all. What ever books we have is what we have weather its traditional book or not. My girl is at the age where she don't care what you read to her she'll read and make up her own story. If there is a duck involved she is really happy.

That is my whole point. If you are raising a feminist daughter then Never read her Snow White Of Cinderella!

Yes, I get your point. I've always gotten it. People don't seem to realize the origins and intent of many of the stories they read their children. Many of them are quite ghastly.

I see it this way. If you want women to fight for themselves , then Never read Any of the fairy tales. Just stick to Graphic Novels. In that genre Women kick a$$!

All the original fairy tales were written in the 19th century! Of course there would be old fashioned gender roles.

Some girls are gay so they dream of Snow White, lol! I agree , the movies made are not for the little darlings. But with all these women warriors I wondered if the old versions of fairy tales were not being read.

I think that some people still read those old time fairy tales to their children. But with all the access the kids have to TV and movies and the internet, they see things totally different then we did at those ages. Most of that old fashioned thinking is going by the way side.

I don't know Alice In Wonderland so I didn't see the new version. I am a female male chauvinist. I'm all for a guy to come to the rescue in fairy tales.In real life? If he can't slay a dragon , he can protect me in other ways.

I was a girl scout. My mom wanted me to be . But once when our troop leader asked was our troop only here to earn money to go camping, I thought ah yeah! So your dad had nothing to fear.Like you I have a mind of my own. My dad was very conservative but my mom was a feminist. How did they remained married for 35 years I have no idea. But even though my mom raised me during the teen years alone, I lost my dad when I was 12, I grew up being on the man's side of this battle of the sexes.So girl scouts has Nothing to do with it!

Would you read these stories to your daughter? Your Son? Me? If I had kids I wouldn't read Any of the fairy tales to them. The boys would try to protect his love and these days she would resent it. And the girls would be so bitter that no guys would Want to protect her. why bother!
