Living happily ever after is dreamed by everyone. On the other side, it is very difficult for some women to find for their happiness. It is caused by the women’s submission that effect to the sufferings to themselves.
Nowadays, women are merely regarded as the second class. They are absolutely weak, passive and mindless, as described in the western fairytales (Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel). These women get the sufferings but they are actionless women. They do not take an active part in creating and determining their own lives and their own futures. They merely wait for the handsome princes to save and make their lives meaningful.
The women’s submission make lower of women’s status, and birth to the sufferings to themselves. Meanwhile, these conditions pose men as heroes.
