July 25, 2006, on Little Red Riding Hood:
this political correctness issue is ridiculous, we're talking about a fairytale written in a time without equal rights and political fairness. The fairytale was a warning to young girls and served as a message about young girls loosing virginity as well as safety. It was written originally by Charles Perrault as a lesson for young women (not womyn) of society to remain chaste, or moreso advice to. Political Correctness is becoming ridiculous, words are just words its the meaning behind which is important and it must also be considered in context. The meaning behind this maybe sexist and a dozen other descrimintation but truth be told it was written in 1679 and these issues we're at their peak! so leave it be, the fairytale is a poetic one and should still serve as a warning to young children about stranger danger(in its original form!)
