To the princesses

thewayiwrite

 

I’m so sorry Aurora,

That no one saw the dangers of a sleeping sixteen year old being kissed by a stranger

 

My condolences Snow White,

That a man saw an unconscious girl, kissed her, and then took her away from her friends

 

Apologies to you, dear Ariel,

That you could see no other option but to sell your soul so that he may notice you

 

Please forgive me, Mulan,

That to be strong you had to pretend to be a man

 

My deepest regrets, Belle,

That a man wanted you so much that he thought it right to kill your beloved

 

And oh Cinderella,

How could anyone stand by and let you suffer the way you did?

 

Oh Rapunzel,

Sweetheart I can’t even begin to explain how sorry I am for the cruelty of the lonely woman

 

 

Yes my princesses, your tales are terrible and cruel, but our daughters love your dresses and your princes. They love the sparkle and the love stories. They love the forced romance and the stolen kisses. They love the fucking rape stories that we tell them as they fall asleep.
