Unraveling Grimm

Fifty thought poems to shine a light on the misogynistic, patriarchal, greed based lessons underlying fifty fairy tales gathered by Grimm, which have helped to mold the ethics and moralities of the western world. These stories told to guide the young and expose them to the dangers of the world, have succeeded in fostering economic tyranny, unfettered consumption and envy, a thirst for riches, an acceptance of unchecked patriarchal power, an unhealthy attitude about beauty, and the male savior mythology. It is time to retire them.
