Namely, if you’re being abused you should quietly accept the abuse, and eventually someone will show up with a magic wand and rescue you.

Snow White made a lifestyle choice and Sleeping Beauty was tricked into her bad luck. Both of those stories are ok as they are. The idea of equating being good with being a victim is what creeps me out about Cinderella.
