1: My favorite ending to Goldilocks And The Three Bears is the bear actually attacking her, so in some versions she actually doesn't get away with it.
B: My mother walked through the woods in the dark all the time when she was young.
III: Happily-Ever-After is only a Disney/Pixar thing, as is the Marriage-Is-The-End-All-Goal thing.
Fourth: The reason that princesses in other fairy tales often end up married is because these are old tales, and would still have had the sense of how royalty worked. You would have had to marry off your daughters to increase relationships, or, in some cases, to provide an heir to the throne.
5th: You don't seem to understand that Disney took many of it's story ideas from other fairy tales. For some examples, look to The Little Mermaid (by Hans Christian Anderson, The Snow Queen (also by Hans Christian Anderson, and Sleeping Beauty. While, sure, these may still not be the best choices for kids, they have women in a much wider variety of positions. In The Little mermaid, she is punished for following the prince, with the nearly 100% change that she will turn into seafoam. She later gets a second chance at living, but only if she kills him.
In Sleeping Beauty, it starts out similar, but then, while she is asleep, a king comes into the castle and rapes her. She wakes up after she has twins, since one of them sucked the sliver out of her finger. That is where my mother stopped, but apparently she then finds said king, and falls in love with him, but he is already married (proving that marriage is not the surefire way to a happy ending. The queen tries to kill the twins and feed them to an unsuspecting king, and tries to burn the princess at the stake. Eventually, they get married and live happily ever after (just like him and his last wife. The Snow Queen is a short novel, but is basically about two children who are super happy and are the best of friends. One gets a sliver of glass in both his eye and his heart, and ends up thinking of everything beautiful as being ugly, and vice-versa. He also starts to act different. He later gets kid-napped by the snow queen, and the girl goes to save him. There is some trouble along the way, and she meets some new friends. She finally finds him trying to spell out a word (I forget which one) out of ice shards. He refuses to even talk to her, she cries, and she actually saves him by doing this act. The tears do something to him, and he is awakened from this enchantment. The ice shards then dance around and spell out the word, which means that he is free to go home.

Society is so behind or closed minded in general. The so called happily ever after may turn into a nightmare later on. Villians sometimes win and good guys end up breaking the rules. Also these days there's a lot more different people than so called normal people. I am among the different category, the difference wasn't obvious in my case but the bullying still happened. Eventually I stopped caring what people thought. Times have changed and stories should reflect the times.

Actually The Red Riding Hood was a type of story, to keep children safe. It warns children not to talk to strangers and I crearly see wolf as a methaphor of murder or pedophile. And We have to remember, these stories were written many years ago, which view on rising the children and what is consider safe, were totally different.

Other wrong lessons:
- Monsters are monsters by looks
- You'll treat your children the way you never liked your own parents treating you
- Parents can push you around and act protective and force orders and principles on you regardless of how old you get

I disagree with your Happily Ever After point. Do you really want to scare your kid and/or destroy their hope for a bright future. Yes, there isnt a happily ever after in real life but you do need to give your children hope.

You realize these fairytales were written centuries ago and that is how it was back then. Women did have those jobs, but nowadays fairytales portray women how they should be like the movie Brave and Moana.

I think instead of telling kids that if they dance too much they'll need to cut their feets the red shoes tells kids that too much of a thing could end up bad. Even a harmless and fun activity like dancing.
