Once upon a time .....
 

Oh deary, deary, me, reading todays tabloids it appears that what I (and I presume many others) took for a harmless fairytale & fantasy escapism rendered to generations via Disney animation, is in actual fact, vile, pernicious sexism! Not only that, it panders to us evil males by subliminally reinforcing stereotypical genderism & the subservience of females to abusive relationships!

Bü88er me! :eek: How very foolish I've been over my past 51 going on 52 years to not grasp this blatantly obvious discrimination. Apparently this disgusting anomaly was raised a few years back, but was seemingly brushed off & tucked into some dark & forgotten grubby cubby ..... until now. Due mainly in part to "Beauty & the Beast" being remade for re-release by Disney in March 2017. Starring one Mr.Dan Stevens (whoever he maybe) & the rather well known feminist & womens liberist, Mz.Emma Thompson (so how does this fit with her Femimorales?).

Now then, due to my selfish chauvinistic nature (for making my Wife, grand-daughter & niece at some point watch the film & that I personally think their foolish persecution projection on what is just a bit of harmless fantasy is just a load of Bolliks!) I'm no doubt due to an unholy outpouring of wrath & rabid frothing from the crazed Feminazis out there for my insensitive "man views" & as such should be publicly lambasted & thrashed for the greater good & to make the "Sisterhood" feel smugly righteous!

Anyone else believe we've come to far in allowing illiberal liberals of all stripes & persuasions a free hand to spout their senseless drivel?

It's not a good report from the Express (no surprises there). It doesn't give the source of the Teaching Plan or who wrote it. Is it American, English or what? No quotes from teachers to elaborate on the story.

I am with you dave

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Yes we have Son... We should see this for the fairy story that it is. Nothing more, nothing less.
I really think that the people who come out with this bilge need to be doing an arduous job....one which leaves them so tired they do not have time to dream up these fanciful notions.

Michael, Michael, Michael, tsk! How very negative of you my dear fellow, it's from the "Express" so of course it's to be disdained is it not? Such a right leaning, Farage praising, Brexit lauding, EU eschewing publication surely can't be relied on can it? I mean, it don't support lefty narrative so lets' ignore it eh?

So to appease your denial, I had a couple of minutes skegging on goggle & lo ... several other dailies have at last picked up on the story, somewhat late, but still, they're now reporting it, a few examples below, but please don't feel obliged to read, they're merely for reference.

There you go my fine fellow (despite my misogynistic, sexist, racist, knuckle dragging Express & Breitbart London reading prediliction I've even included articles from the Indie & Grauniad as far from the right as should be comfortable for the left leaning ;)) As to from whence this irrationality comes, that I've also sourced for you, mighty decent don't you agree? :)

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Thanks for the links, Dave. At least they expand on the story, unlike the rather sketchy report in the Express. Who, where, when, why, who, how - most missed by the Express reporter. Now if you had written it, I'm sure you would have given us all the salient facts.

Ah, you silver tongued flatterer you!

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Oops! I won't make a good reporter either. Too many whos! I should have checked my copy before submitting it to the editor.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

You are going to upset the anatomists as well Dave, they would tell you that it isn't their hand from which these idiots spout their prejudice.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Fine, that's another "ist" add it to the list. :s_aim1:

And anther thing, if they're wetting their knickers over this, they'll be apoplectic about "Snow White & the 7 Dwarves" how many cardinal sins in that badger? :eek:

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Giving this one a little more consideration, it seems the Feminazies are going to be well screwed (Too much overtly mannish ignorance using screwed? Meh ... grow a pair, oh dear another one ;))

Anyways I digress, getting back to Miss Snowy, poor girl forced into domestic drudgery & servitude to a gang of white males, well obviously sexist, degrading & all men are B'stards is the cry. Outrageous

Unfortunately for the serially offended & the siw's these 7 white males are Dwarves .... so to rail against them must surely be construed as "Dwarfist"? See the problems developing here? :D

Now if we rebalance the inequality, say Miss Snowy is of a darker shade (racism box ticked), then we make these beardy, funny clothes wearing, vertically challenged individuals of a similar colour (we're doing well on the race card aren't we) & the final discrepancy of say, lets see, religion, yeah religion, instead of being overbearingly Christiian, lets call them, oh I don't know, followers of the "Religion of pieces" Bingo, we've now totally changed the poor girls situation & brought equality & diversity to the story ...... haven't we?

The sjw's, snowflakes & hard of thinking should now be in their element surely as in their world view isn't that how things are meant to be? Oh, silly me, nearly forgot "And they all lived happily ever after ... right?"

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

How about Hansel and gretel then?

Cruel parents and abandonment,

ruining the environment by littering with breadcrumbs,

vandalising a pensioners cottage, eating the roof.

An old lady with cannibalistic tendencies.

Deranged twins celebrate by putting old woman in oven and roasting her to death.

Now that, seems to be the stuff a whole T.V. forensics team could analyse through two or three series.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

I suspect that of the above the P.C.ers would find

ruining the environment by littering with breadcrumbs

To be the most heinous of these crimes.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

I suppose the PC brigade could make a case for most fairy tales. They were written for children and should be seen through the eyes of a child not interpreted in today's twisted way of thinking. A couple of years ago there was an uproar about Noddy and Big Ears living together and Andy Pandy and Looby Lou getting into a wicker basket together. For goodness sake have these people nothing better to do. Let children be children and have their fairy stories because they grow up far too soon these days as it is.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Thats the trouble these days Rowlf, far too many stupid do-gooders, that for me, do more harm than good.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

children do not read into these stories what adults do...mainly because children are innocent and see only the good guy against tha baddie.
Most fairy tales have a very dark side...if that is what you are looking for.
Witches, wicked step mothers, ugly sisters,poisoned apples etc.
The PC brigade like to come along and spoil everything..if we let them.

There are NO really innocent fairy stories...not one if you have the mind of a politically correct feminazi.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Unfortunately they are too busy doing what they think is good, they tend to ignore what is really bad for children, usually deviant adults.

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

So that's what you look like - I always wondered, thanks for clearing it up!

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Still bitchin' instead of thinking eh?

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

And now poor little "Cinders" comes in for a dose of leftie liberal lunacy! And from one of Accringtons very own to boot ......

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

There are several discussions out there that originally cinders wore squirrel fur slippers and that a mistake in translation changed it to glass.

Taken from :-

Glass Slippers Mistranslations : snopes.com

Which also mentions she was helped by her mother not a fairy-godmother, so...

If it has already been corrupted from it's original should this woman really be encouraging even further corruption of a popular Fairytale?
:confused:

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

Damn it! That's PETA & the Animal rights mobs getting a she-ity on too! :D

Quandary time again for the great unwashed sjws!

Re: Once upon a time .....
 

I know it can be dangerous, but, I've been thinking.

We didn't used to get any of this P.C. nonsense before the 1970's up until then men had been happily killing each other through the centuries and women would announce that they will obey in their wedding vows, then a female liberation caused them to rise up and add to global warming by burning their bras.*
All that seemed to do was increase the productivity of Asian sweatshops when within a few months the same liberated ladies found tripping over breasts that hung down to their ankles was uncomfortable, so they bought some more.
With female emancipation should have come female responsibility however, instead of making sensible changes to life they created the P.C. brigade, some say it was revenge and meant to just upset the men that had kept them chained to the kitchen sink for millennia, what they didn't realise was that once introduced it would be forced onto all genders of all walks of life by lefty lesbian killjoys.
So now we do have equality, all of us have to suffer the stupidity of these people.

It might be noticed however, that things aren't completely cocked up, modern technology has moved forward in leaps and bounds thanks to this revolution, I think the change in female attitudes has forced more men to hide in their sheds for a bit of peace and quiet. This is all well and good but no-one can stay in the shed forever so when they come out they had to prove to their boss, (sorry I think I meant loving partner) their time had been productive, resulting in the advance of computers, digital cameras and mobile phones, etc.

On considering the situation I would give up the advances gladly if we could get back to a situation where I can call a spade a spade and Little Red Riding Hood can be read to children at bedtime so that they drift happily off to sleep rather than have them lying there worrying about the four hour lecture that came after the story telling them how unfair life is and how the wolf somehow represents the oppression of men on the fairer sex.
:hidewall:






*Please note, women didn't know they were adding to global warming it is a profitable industry that hadn't been invented back then.

Alright it's from the American chat show host Jimmy Kimmel & yes it's a pish take of the outraged sjws & snowflakes over there in the good Ol' US of A, locally themed but still ...... transplant it anywhere round Europe (or other civilised parts of the world were muppets have gained the upperhand) take a suitable local tale & "Bobs' your Uncle" (or not, if we're going to be non gender assignment specific! :idunno:)
