Broke: interpreting fairy tales through psychoanalysis
Woke: interpreting fairy tales as fragmented memories of the spiritual experience and story of all humanity
All I’m saying is Snow White is a story where a Deceiver offers an apple and the woman eats it and DIES and the Prince of a Kingdom in the Clouds arrives to wake her from Death!!
Not gonna lie, did not expect to see Snow White of all tales that way. I’m also a sucker for psychoanalysis…
For non-Americans: this is actually accurate and reflects how Americans understand ourselves and regional identities. These aren’t official labels, but they’re not totally made up either.
This just settled a long standing argument between me and my husband
one of the problems with Trads™ is that they don’t adhere to any kind of actual, legitimate tradition. it’s mostly 1950′s fetishism disguised as some Holy and Revered Ancient Tradition. women have worked for the majority of european and american history. i’m a pregnant housewife and even i can recognize that this lifestyle basically came about in the last century lol
but the even worse thing is how they think that only two kinds of women exist: the horrible, evil feminist whores who dare work outside of the home, and the feminine maidens who are just so desperate for a 30 year old dude from tumblr to come provide for them
and it’s just horribly unfair and they don’t see or care how it’s horribly unfair. and btw their whole femininity obsession is also a fetish, like no normal person in their right mind bases their identity around dresses and flowers and baking pies. that’s just things people do, they don’t post about it all day on tumblr
