    I don’t think I get the first one. Is it Snow White and Rose Red? Because weren’t they girls?

    In Irish mythology, a tragic character named Naoise is a male Snow White. A princess, similar to Helen of Troy, broke her engagement with the king to marry him and they had a tale worth checking out.

    Genderswapped Cinderella is a children’s book! Prince Cinders by Babette Cole. Read it.
    And I totally want to climb up a handsome prince’s beard to rescue him now.

    The Ren & Stimpy episode “Robin Hoek” had an amalgamated Robin Hood and Rapunzel story, with Stimpy playing the “fairest maid” who lets down his nose hair for Ren to climb.

    Lovely! Was anyone else reminded of the Adventure Time genderswap style with Fiona and Cake?

    hmm, so a man couldn’t have long hair like rapunzel? and genderswapped eh? why couldn’t they be same-sex while we’re at it? still too heteronormative.

    Ditto!

    In all fairness, super-long beards are just cooler.
