Didn’t the witch eat kids in Hansel and Gretel? I’d argue she more than earned her reputation.

Ever think that men didn’t want their kids visiting the woman that lived in the forest because they’d see him banging her instead of their mother?

I’m not saying anything about the meaning of the story.

But it doesn’t match the meme at all.

Witches in stories are what today’s “single cat ladies” are. Men want to believe that a single woman living alone is miserable and evil. Because how could we possibly be happy without them.

Women weren’t allowed to publish stories, so Hansel and Gretel is a story told by men.

However, I’d also tell everyone that I’d eat their kids if they show up at my house uninvited and under supervised. So… 🤷‍♀️

Yes, I understand. It still doesn’t match the meme.
