True, I suppose I DO need to extend upon that fact. As mentioned, because women told the tales and made them up in the first place, most tales were almost entirely female based. There's only so much you can do, and I can't remember which one, but one of the Grimms brothers was notoriously worse for his silencing of women than the other as well. I think (I'd have to re read the biography to be sure, the other wasn't nearly as bad with his treatment

I think of it like how Disney, now Walt is dead and Eisner has been removed and their animation department was sold to Pixar, has had a noticable change in how they treat women. One Grimm brother was the Walt and Eisner era, the other the Pixar Era. Still not perfect, still changed, but one is noticably more fair than the other.

I'll also point out this has not gone unnoticed by the creators of Ever After High. One brother is staunchly fixed in telling the stories the way he wants them told, the other wants the stories to do their own thing. Milton Grimm is also condecending and overbaring to all the characters he interacts with... which at the moment have all been female.
