Do you need a man to be a woman?
The stories of both Snow White and Sleeping Beauty both paint the need for men to rescue them. Due to the ongoing nature of this theme in fairy tales, it has become an on going theme in movies, and now in every woman's life. Women think the only way they have a life is by finding a man. I work at a Baptist school, and in the Baptist church you marry early, have kids early and eat alot. Well a principal at our school recently told me that she had always dreamed of a husband, 2.5 children and a house but that was not Gods plan for her. It is an interesting thing to think about though- going through childhood we are told that we have to find a prince and he has to take care of us- but does that have to happen? No, a woman can live life without a man.
