Fairy Tale Girls

Girls in fairy tales, are always saved.

Why? Why can't they save themselves?

Why does Cinderella have to marry a prince to get out of her stepfamily's grasp?

Why do Sleeping Beauty and Snow White need a prince to wake them?

Why does Little Red need a huntsman to save her from the wolf's jaws?

Why does Rapunzel need a man to get out of her tower?

Why do all of them get saved?

Why do none of them save themselves?

Imagine if Cinderella had sold her sewing.

Or Sleeping Beauty had bargained with the witch.

Or if Snow White had led a rebellion when the queen turned her into a servant.

Or if Little Red had outwitted the wolf.

Or if Rapunzel had chopped off her hair and used it as a rope.

Imagine if they had saved themselves.
