So many fables have weak and simpering female characters, they really aren't a good role model for anyone let alone impressionable young girls. Brilliance bias starts as young as 6 years old! Is it any wonder when the women they hear about in regular fairy stories are constantly rescued by the prince? (The same prince she goes on to marry.)  These tales twist typical fairy tales and have far more satisfying endings. What if the heroine doesn’t want to marry the King, Prince, or Princess? What if they’re happy as they are? The messages read that you are enough, you don't need anyone else... but if you find another then that is a bonus!
