Some are, of course, but there are so many fairy tales that promote compassion for animals and women's rights. Sadly, these aren't the most popular ones, but that's selection bias: society has chosen a few fairy tales that are representative of its own values and biases and popularized those few, leaving the rest to obscurity. But, given the many fairy tales featuring animal protagonists (sometimes running away from cruelty, but sometimes just acting as wild animals should) and female protagonists, I don't think it's really fair to say that fairy tales are inherently speciesist or sexist. .-= Simon Rubinstein-Salzedo´s last blog ..<a href="http://complexzeta.livejournal.com/71669.html" rel="nofollow">Simplicity in design</a> =-.
