When most little girls are growing up they're told several stories of princesses that meet their prince or damsel's in distress who are rescued by their true love. Little do these poor little girls know the road to meeting their knights in shining armor can be long/hard/painful/& sometimes never ending. My Shnoogy recently informed me that even the fairy tales we've grown up knowing aren't the WHOLE truth. Did you know in the real version of Sleeping Beauty, that her "Prince" doesn't kiss her to wake her up? But instead he RAPES her in her sleep, she bares children and one of the kids sucks out the thorn in her thumb that put her to sleep? TRAUMATIZING RIGHT?! Were you also aware that in the real version of Snow White, her "Prince" doesn't awaken her by a kiss....but instead, the piece of the poison apple is dislodged from her throat because of the bumpy movement of her coffin.....BECAUSE HE WAS KIDNAPPING HER! Now I'm aware that these aren't stories you can tell a CHILD....and that the point of the Disney versions is to instill the concept of love in a little girl. But in this day and age.....what's the POINT?! Nowadays its RARE to find a man you could even think to compare to a Knight in Shining Armor or a Prince. I'm not saying they don't exist....I'm just saying they're rare....LIKE A UNICORN! Some men act like taking a woman out on a date is a hard thing to do, & today is borderline UNCOMMON. Respect in general is lacking from men today, & many lack common decency. You could have spared me allllllll the love stories in the world if I had known that the world wasn't really like that. Again I'm not saying I'm a skeptic on the concept of LOVE or anything like that, I'm actually the complete opposite. But you can spare me the sappy love stories and what not. I'll just wait until its time to write my own Fairytale!
