CINDERELLA
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella.
Why do the main character of any story or movie is ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL? I mean comeon people stop telling the world that the not so good looking ones don't deserve to be in the lead roles !! Please
She lived with her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. They treated Cinderella very badly.
And here is when they declare it out loud that a girl is helpless if someone treats her badly. It can be clearly seen that girls are not actually that helpless and sensitive as much as they are made to be !! Such stories at such a small age brainwashes kids and I believe it is a serious s**t that needs to be discussed about and kids should be kept away from these discouraging tales.
One day, they were invited for a grand ball in the king’s palace. But Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her go. Cinderella was made to sew new party gowns for her stepmother and stepsisters, and curl their hair. They then went to the ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home. Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared and said, “Don’t cry, Cinderella! I will send you to the ball!” But Cinderella was sad. She said, “I don’t have a gown to wear for the ball!” The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful new gown! The fairy godmother then touched Cinderella’s feet with the magic wand. And lo! She had beautiful glass slippers! “How will I go to the grand ball?” asked Cinderella. The fairy godmother found six mice playing near a pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched them with her magic wand and the mice became four shiny black horses and two coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach. Cinderella was overjoyed and set off for the ball in the coach drawn by the four black horses. Before leaving. the fairy godmother said, “Cinderella, this magic will only last until midnight! You must reach home by then!”
Okay this was a fairy tale so it can be digested. I won't strive for the logics here BUT, what kind of fairy are you if your magic can't even exist for a day !!! Fairy, why do you even exist.
When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck by her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s stepmother or stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and shoes. The handsome prince also saw her and fell in love with Cinderella.
Complete bulls**t now . This society is totally ruling over us. The prince fell in love with Cinderella just because she was in good clothes and shoes. That's it? They again grimed the meaning of love. Giving an idea to the readers that only good clothes and beautiful face can make someone fall in love with you is total crap. That simply means that if he ever saw Cinderella before in her daily worn out clothes, he wouldn't give any attention to her and now he suddenly fell in love. Total stupidity, TOTAL !!!
He went to her and asked, “Do you want to dance?” And Cinderella said, “Yes!”
Lol as if she was gonna say "Get lost you Beauty digger".
The prince danced with her all night and nobody recognized the beautiful dancer. Cinderella was so happy dancing with the prince that she almost forgot what the fairy godmother had said. At the last moment, Cinderella remembered her fairy godmother’s words and she rushed to go home.
Atleast she remembered. What a coincidence that she got reminded of it just 5 mins prior to 12 o' clock. Yes, what a lucky girl!
“Oh! I must go!” she cried and ran out of the palace. One of her glass slippers came off but Cinderella did not turn back for it. She reached home just as the clock struck twelve.
In just 5 minutes !!! What a rocket speed pumpkin.
Her coach turned back into a pumpkin, the horses into mice and her fine ball gown into rags. Her stepmother and stepsisters reached home shortly after that. They were talking about the beautiful lady who had been dancing with the prince. The prince had fallen in love with Cinderella and wanted to find out who the beautiful girl was, but he did not even know her name. He found the glass slipper that had come off Cinderella’s foot as she ran home. The prince said, “I will find her. The lady whose foot fits this slipper will be the one I marry!” The next day, the prince and his servants took the glass slipper and went to all the houses in the kingdom. They wanted to find the lady whose feet would fit in the slipper. All the women in the kingdom tried the slipper but it would not fit any of them.
Thank God it didn't fit anyone else. I wonder how, but anyways, thank god !! :p Else the beauty digger prince might had suffered a lot.
Cinderella’s stepsisters also tried on the little glass slipper. They tried to squeeze their feet and push hard into the slipper, but the servant was afraid the slipper would break. Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her try the slipper on, but the prince saw her and said, “Let her also try on the slipper!” The slipper fit her perfectly. The prince recognized her from the ball.
Seriously? Seems like the prince had a better eye sight then Cinderella's stepmother and sisters !!
He married Cinderella and together they lived happily ever after.
I wish it was so easy, to live happily ever after! Giving this wrong idea to the world that marrying a prince can sort your life is utterly stupid. Giving the idea that only a man can save you if your life is s**t is damn stupid again.
These tales make girls believe that someday their prince charming will take them to a castle which they had to learn the harder way that no prince charming exists !! We should know that kids take things very seriously, specially the fairy tales, and we should not make them see these kind of movies where they are indoctrinated that they are completely worthless until helped by a fairy or a prince. I believe we need to change these stories to real life stories of brave woman, or at least, change it to something logical so that it doesn't harm children's mindset.
I see boys hating the gold digger girls ! Making fun of those girls who expects a good and rich husband. Who do not do anything just because they believe they will someday get married and it would be her husband's responsibility to take care of them. You know what I believe? I believe that they are completely right to do so. That they are nowhere at fault because they are taught the same since childhood. Girls are never told to stand on their own feet. The biggest example is through these fairy tales only. Why do all princesses always waited for a BOY to come to save them. Can't they do it on their own? Yes they CAN but the society don't want us to do so and that's why they promote such idiotic stories and movies.
Let us all stop suppressing our little girls and unknowingly make them helpless. Let us teach them to be responsible for themselves, teach them that their might be a prince charming somewhere but you got to find him and he won't always come to find you and let us help them understand that no one can treat them badly and that they can do whatever they want !!

Yeah there's a few people who have been blacklisted by cheetah. I think his power has gone to his head.
Seriously man !! Whom should we complain to?
@anyx
It's not about the content of this video itself but the description under the video. Cheetah, basically, detected that content which is identical to your source.
Don't worry about it. It is has no influence on your post payout. You have not been blacklisted or anything like that.
I would just ignore it.
Ok. But I read that if cheetah comments on your post a few times then you get blacklisted, so didn't want to take any chances. Thank you for the information. :)
Good job @cheetah !! But I quoted my source and also I took the source's work as a reference to my write-ups. Thanks
Interesting point of thinking!
Thanks for noticing that :)

There is nothing wrong with men wanting to be the knights in shining armor or the women wanting to feel like a princess. It's nice to have dreams like this as long as you don't get lost in them.
Wanting to be a princess is fine if it doesn't come with additional things which states that only a prince can make their life better and they can't do it by themselves !!

Good post, btw.
It's just another bullshit story perpetuating our obsolete and retarded social roles, where women are objectified and to be seen as meek, obedient slaves that have to please males etc.
I recommend this documentary:
"Miss Representation"
Yes it's damn true. I am happy there exists a youtube video for it !! I wish people drop this media bullshit ASAP and use their brains !!
It is whole documentary. I posted only a trailer of it ;-)
There are more documentaries, videos and articles related to the subject...
Glad to see people getting sensible.
This is one version of the story re-written in one particular era, you can't just ignore the fact that there are hundreds of version of this story, why did you pick this one? These stories were never meant to be children's stories, go read the original story, just blood and gore and mostly meant to teach you to be a good Christian and that bad people will always get that is coming to them.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment @readingdanvers. I would like to read the real story if you can link me to it. I picked the most common version, addressing the overall story quickly, which is found mostly in fairy tales books for kids, videos on youtube, movies and more. Even if the real story was different, I wonder it actually matters because this is the version that brainwashes kids and it brainwashed me as well. I am not talking ONLY about CINDERELLA here but all the other stories where woman is SHOWN helpless may it be Rapunzel, Snowhite, Belle etc. There might be many versions of these stories but they are still continuing to indoctrinate little girls because the real version isn't printed in kid's story books. Isn't it?
This is the the Grimm version of Cinderella:
http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm021.html
Not the original, not sure even if this is considered the original.
I dunno, I saw the original Little Mermaid and then decided to read the book, and somehow landed on the original story and was traumatized for life. Disney doesn't role everything.
I think the movies like the stories evolve with society, there is a reason why they survived until this time, and it's not because of their terrible message and representation.
Yeah, the real story might be worthy of spreading it everywhere as it seems from your words. I will read it for more knowledge but this article is not criticizing the original story but the one that is being told to kids.
Thanks for the link, I will read it out now.

The moral is twisted, and the effect..., I would avoid showing to any child (or adult for that matter).
The reason that her step mother and sisters didn't recognize her is because she is cinderella. She is called cinderella because she was always covered in ash (cinders) from the fireplace/stove. She was always a girl covered in dirt.
And the slipper is very important. In the story, the sisters want to be the princess so badly that one cuts off her toes, and the other cuts off her heels. But, the crow in the tree spouted, "...there is blood in the shoe, she isn't true"
And, at the wedding Cinderella's stepmom is forced to dance in red hot slippers. If you do not know what this is, watch "The Tenth Kingdom".
Ohhh :o . Is it a movie or a series?
The 10th Kingdom is a TV-mini-series, errr, its a really long movie.

STOPVery good thoughts that I too thought about, especially in choosing the "children shows" that my daughter watches. How they do not truly empower but limit our scope of Self confidence
You are right on the money!!
What an interesting way of thinking, thanks for this eye opener. Now i'm going to select the kind of stories i will yell my children.
Glad to hear that. :) Show your child something which helps them to be original :) Thanks for your comment :)
