Indeed, you could be correct about that. However, I believe that fairy tales can be harmful by raising a young ladys' expectations. For instance, "Cinderella" comes to mind. So young women feel that some handsome prince will come to rescue her from her pithy household and turn their rags into riches and live happily ever after.

So women are raised thinking they should be dependent on men.
Of course, they can get a rude awakening when the prince really IS the frog in velvet clothing. I've often remarked I'd like to re-write Cinderella so that little girls don't grow up thinking everything will be wine and roses. Waiting for that handsome dude on a strong steed that sweeps them off their feet. That's what we're all waiting for, you know.
A fairy tale.
