Fairy tales are fairy tales
It makes no difference what either side says - they stories are largely not true - and it makes no difference how you interpret them
In essence- the fairy tales are all imaginative lies
I agree but would say that it makes a huge difference to women who have been oppressed by those who blame them for a fall that never happened.

To who has a greater right to interpret their own works. Them or the usurpers.
