Feminist Fairy Tales--Introduction [SPORKERS: ZELDAQUEEN and GEHAYI, with KET CAMEOS]
Feminist Fairy Tales--Introduction
In which the author lists her many, many objections to princesses and fairy tales, few of which hold water, uses a couple of words now considered insulting to people from the Far East and intersex people, complains about the viciousness of an innocent character, and discusses the appropriation of three African goddesses in one of her twenty-eight upcoming tales.
Meanwhile, ZQ, Ket and I talk about fairy tales (well-known and rare), myths, and active female leads while trying to figure out what the author of the intro is talking about.
