    The witch’s concern for men I get, but could someone shed a bit of light on the claim for women? Is that just an extreme for laughs or did someone out there really do … something close to that?

      If I remember correctly, in the German version of Sleeping Beauty, the Prince’s Mom is an ogress who wants to eat Sleeping Beauty.

          If I remember correctly, one of the newborns (she had twins) sucked on her finger attempting to nurse and dislodged the cursed splinter that was keeping her unconscious.

          I don’t remember if any explanation was given as to why no one thought of just pulling the damn thing out prior to that. That seems like a pretty fucking solvable problem.

            I wonder if this is what Smiling Friends is referencing in the enchanted forest episode where Charlie pulls the thorn out of the tree.
