I have grown by listen and watching all the beautiful fairy tales stories, they have very beautifully presented the story of Cinderella, Rapunzel and snow-white many more such princesses, when you are a child your brain is functioned to believes what are you see you tend to believe its real for instance it is shown that women are very beautiful charming they love dancing, doing makeup and styling themselves and one day the very rich and good looking prince is going to marry them and take them to the beautiful castle but this all fantasy, but we can even portray this fantasy by showing them that girls need to be independent they should not have to wait for any prince to fulfill their dreams and be the hero of their life but they can also be the hero of their life, I would not say it is all wrong but fantasy should have some real-life related acquaintances. Passive characters should not always show for girls instead we should tell them to be active. we can empower them to show them how strong they are always glorifying man is unequal. Earlier if women should accept by men, they have to calculate or change many things to be accepted by the man. Fairytales are very unrealistic and they have some things which are true.
