I don't think the attraction to fairytales and their princesses is that women want to be rescued. I think we all, even little girls, want to be worthy of rescue. A good prince would show you that you are worthy, simply by your very being.
Donald Murray quotish, "Sometimes you have to free yourself to tell the Truth of the story by changing the truth."
In the debate about whether or not all reading is good reading, I defer to Mark Twain, "All things in moderation, especially moderation." I think we all need to have variety in our reading diet. We need things that comfort and warm us and we need things that shake us up and disturb us. I don't think it's fair to validate what you love by devaluing what other people love. I might have some work to do in that department.
