I recently came across this blog in Portuguese, Advice from An Old Whore, and their ruminations on the age-old story of the Damsel in Distress and the Savior Prince.

"Talvez a história do príncipe e da puta seja baseada em um romance de Nelson Rodrigues e não de Walt Disney.

Talvez a puta seja subversiva demais pra fazer o papel da donzela em perigo e o príncipe covarde demais para salvá-la da torre cercada por dragões

Talvez nossa história esteja sendo escrita na barra da saia de juta de uma menina feia !

Quem vai saber?

Talvez a história da puta e o príncipe seja baseada na paixão das imperfeições um do outro...

Talvez a puta deva seguir na sua vida suburbana matando seu ego em copos de cachaça enquanto o príncipe confirma suas mini certezas banhado a whisky importado e jantares em coberturas luxuosas !

Somente uma certeza carrego junto de mim, o sorriso dos dois nunca mais será o mesmo!

Talvez o ditado ame e deixe ir seja a confirmação da solidão imposta pela circunstância de cada um , onde o amor de um para o outro vai ser carregado na dúvida atras do sorriso de "talvez poderíamos ter tentado! "

Mas não existe cicatriz a ser curada e nem palavras e atos a serem perdoados!

Amamos dentro dos limites de cada um!

Talvez a gente ainda se encontre em alguma curva

Talvez a história da puta e do príncipe esteja sendo escrita na barra da saia de juta de uma menina feia... A menina feia e seus sonhos encantados."

You’ll have to translate the text into your own language, English for example.

Should I do it for you ? What if I did in ONE SINGLE SENTENCE ? Can you do it ?

There’s no such thing as a damsel-in-distress. Or Cinderella.

Take a look at the Cinderella story. In 2015 another blog, Reviving Herstory with Sivan documents what you might not know about Cinderella. C’mon, I know you know at least a few Cinderellas in your own life, poor little souls that they are.

“Cinderella didn’t just look like she exchanged sex for money, she actually did. In the Greek/Egyptian story of Rhodopis, the Cinderella figure is captured by pirates and sold as a sex slave. She becomes a “free woman”—a kind of ancient Greek courtesan / high-class prostitute—when a wealthy man buys her off the auction block. She eventually marries the Pharaoh who finds her slipper, becoming the “Royal Lady of Egypt.” From courtesan to queen. Is it any wonder Pretty Woman is considered a Cinderella story ?” Sivan

Sivan tells “there are more than 345 known versions of the Cinderella story with more than a few surprises up their sleeve”. And that’s just from historic literature. Add that to the ones we personally know swells it up to 345 million.

“Cinderellas”, “Damsels-in-distress” are just another bullshit in the female-centric primary social order men have to live in.

That Old Whore in Brazil knows womanhood is selling men fake goods.

When I get to Brazil, I’ll knock on that whore’s door:

–How much ? –No, I’m not selling anything. –I didn’t ask you if you’re selling. How much for the “poor me” women stories ? –How much you got, stranger ?

It works every time.

Pretty Woman character Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) is another fool who falls for the Cinderella story.

Celebrating and reviving the simp is a current theme in many blockbuster movies.

There’s a sucker born every minute. Women know that.
