Professor: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty Promote 'Sexual Assault on an Unconscious Person'

[Robert DeLong]

Yes, because a kiss is so sexual that often times strangers even kiss in greeting.

It's time to update this cultural classic. 
Henceforth the 7 dwarves will be known as:

      Creepy
      Grabby
      Touchy
      Feely
      Pinchy
      Gropey
      Diddle-I-you

[Ohioan]

Those you call "liberals" hate romantic love--the instincts that drive the quest for romantic love--because they hate nature & reality. "Compulsion driven neurotics" is a far better--far more descriptive--label than "liberal."

Feminist War On Love & Reason.

LOL! I’m sure some of these leftard professors will come up with “Cinderella has a mental condition which makes her buy material things such as ladies shoes, and go out with handsome men near midnight”

[Savage Beast]

Does the unconscious person’s pleasure mitigate the assault?

[onedoug]

Why isn’t being a professor some act of assault in itself in the attention he or she commands?

[VaeVictis]

Lol, it sounds like the free-to-sleep-around crowd is discovering a marriage license is still needed or things get murky. Talk about needlessly reinventing the wheel?

[null and void]

[Pearls Before Swine]

One could just as easily say that the rash of popular vampire movies promote sexual violation of the dead.

[nopardons]

You can now find the original version of SLEEPING BEAUTY on line, where the Prince has carnal knowledge with her; if that helps any. :-)

[Trillian]

Has this person had a normal relationship in his entire life?

[otness_e]

Well, most versions, anyway. I think I’ve heard of another version that, while not quite as extreme as the Sleeping Beauty example above, did have a somewhat dirty means of how the Prince awakened her that didn’t involve a kiss. Let’s just say he took the coffin to act as a literal trophy wife, and the shocks from moving the coffin effectively had Snow White vomiting up the apple lodged in her throat.

I’m also not sure if that was merely the original version or something else regarding Sleeping Beauty (I heard from a Canadian nun that apparently, the original version also had the true love’s first kiss element, or at the very least, she woke up after a hundred years just after he kissed her). But yeah, that wasn’t good at all. Ironically, however, Maleficent actually ALLUDED to that version when mentioning her plans to Phillip to “awaken” Aurora after a hundred years (which if you think about it makes her much worse since she’s effectively going to force the Prince to commit rape on Aurora).

[otness_e]

To be fair, it’s more the professor who was at fault here.

And quite frankly, if they’re going to get their panties in a knot over this, they could easily just imagine “true love’s first kiss” as “true love’s CPR”, that avoids the whole sexual element that concerns them.

Personally, I have far more objections to Disney’s handling of Beauty and the Beast due to it trying to push the same kind of feminism that the likes of Simone de Beauvoir, Gloria Allred, and Betty Friedan tried to push, per Linda Woolverton’s own admission, not to mention her handling of Maleficent, than I do Sleeping Beauty or Snow White (well, the Disney versions, anyways).
