Never mind the Protestant work ethic of the dwarfs. Never mind the tedious housework-is-virtuous motif.

The truth is that I was paralysed by the scene in which the evil queen drinks the magic potion and changes her shape. What power, what untold possibilities!

I haven't the faintest notion what possible revolutionary role white hetero- sexual men could fulfill, since they are the very embodiment of reactionary- vested-interest-power.

No, I really don't mean that. Yes, I really do.
