She's actually correct about SLEEPING BEAUTY, in it's original form; though I doubt that she even knows/has read that version, wherein the Prince has carnal knowledge of Sleeping Beauty...not once, but TWICE, and she delivers TWO children, from these rapes, whist still fast asleep.

OTOH....the Price does marry her, once she finally does awaken.

Hey...it's a fairy tale,, so please don't pile on me, re just how ridiculous this version is.

But in Snow White ( in ALL versions ! ) ...all the Prince does is kiss her, which is hardly any kind of assault!

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).
