The Left Destroys Every Single Thing It Touches.

I apologize for this and under Universal Moderator Rules it is forbidden to apologize for anything, but since yesterday’s reprieve from SUSPENSION, Word Press has decided to implode the blog platform with some new posting format designed in bizarre code by a gaggle of demented, belligerent seven year olds from your worst, hallucinogenic nightmare.

Graphics are fine, but text is FUBAR.

But look a bit closer and you might find some unsettling details. Why are there so many unconscious or imprisoned women? Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Beauty And The Beast’s Belle…

One mother has decided to take action by calling for the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty to be removed from her six-year-old son’s school curriculum, based on fears that the story may be giving young children the wrong message about consent.

Sarah Hall from Tyneside says the story, in which a prince kisses the unconscious Sleeping Beauty to wake her from a curse, features an “inappropriate sexual message” and has contacted the school to request that the book be removed from younger classes.

The 38-year-old actress and mom of Lincoln, 5, and Delta, 3, told Parents magazine that she had a serious conversation with her kids about the infamous kissing scene in “Snow White.”

“Don’t you think that it’s weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!” she told the magazine.

Bell, who’s played a Disney princess herself as the voice of Anna in “Frozen,” also spoke to her children about Snow White’s naivete.

An all-male Princeton University a cappella group will no longer perform a song from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” because some students there complained that the performance promotes misogyny and “toxic masculinity” and violates consent.

The singers, known as the Tigertones, have for years performed the song “Kiss the Girl” by picking a man and a woman from the audience and encouraging them to smooch on the cheek, according to Inside Higher Ed.

In the animated movie, the tune is crooned by a Rastafarian crab to encourage a prince to kiss a mermaid — and features the lyrics, “My oh my/ Looks like the boy’s too shy/ Ain’t gonna kiss the girl.”

But some audience members were offended by the “misogynistic” and “non-consensual” tone of the performance, including one student, who slammed it in an opinion piece.
