Just...odd. Not sure what the point was, maybe it was a case of Poe's Law. Also just poorly thought out. The commentary reminded me of Myths and Legends podcast, except it was a waste of time

These are funny, quote worthy alternatives to the original and politically questionable stories of yesteryear. Actually very well written.

Simolemente diré que el libro es lo que promete, pero leerlo ha sido algo extraño.
"—No sé si sabes, querida —dijo el lobo—, que es peligroso para una niña pequeña recorrer sola estos bosques.
Respondió Caperucita: —Encuentro esa observación sexista y en extremo insultante, pero haré caso omiso de ella debido a tu tradicional condición de proscrito social y a la perspectiva existencial —en tu caso propia y globalmente válida— que la angustia que tal condición te produce te ha llevado a desarrollar. Y ahora, si me perdonas, debo continuar mi camino."

I loved this book! Short, and easy reading. About 80 pages I think. It should have probably been named "Fairy Tales for Liberals," because that's what it was. "Women" was spelled "womyn," and if a man ever tried to rescue a woman, her response was, "I can take care of myself!" Also, the "bad guys" were called "kindness-impaired," and it was always because they were "a product of their circumstances." It's just so funny. I recommend it for anyone interested in political satire.

I thought the concept of this sounded fun, but it was not well executed. It was politically correct for 1994, when it was written, but I think missed the mark on what could have been a great book.
