Dear Fairytale,

Don't you find it a little weird that a woman would sit so willingly in a tower? And if that wasn't enough, you had to put in the ridiculous notion that she is waiting for a man to come get her? You obviously have not lived in the real world... Let me let you in on a little secret, things do not work out the way you have been "taling" them.
There are no knights (so bold as to rescue these princesses), there is no chivalry, they are dead. Frankly, its better without all of those faeux cliches. Men wear their realities in daylight now, not hidden by armor. True love's first kiss doesn't happen the first time around, it usually takes practice for most men to get it right. And lets face it, men aren't as handsome as
they used to be.
Us women should look at it as a blessing, really. Now we don't have to be so surpri
sed when we get conned into marrying one these men, we usually know what were getting into.
But now were faced with a problem. Women aren't willing to wait in a tower for their prince anymore, they've found that they can rescue themselves. And by doing that they find this independence that prevents them from depending on any man. Leaving men with two options, fight for a lost cause, or just live without trying to find the woman of their dreams. What could possibly be our solution?
This is the part where I have you break the bad news to you, my friend... You see, we (the real world) are going to have to let you go. You're of no help anymore, in fact you're actually hindering reality. As sweet and romantic you make your stories sound, they just aren't cutting it. They don't portray the truth of love. Love does not need to be proved by the breaking of any spell. It is proved by faithfulness, perseverance, willingness, and a kind heart. There is so much more to women than being in distress. We have as much of a right to save men as they have in saving us.
Sorry to let you go in such a harsh letter, I really wish we could have done this in person... But you insisted on written verses to be our only communication. May I suggest updating to the new generation? We are all advancing, how bout you hop on for the ride?
With regards,
Those who were stupid enough to think you would actually work out...
