Honestly, I'm sick of adaptations of old narratives that think they're 'feminist' but don't end up being any more feminist than their predecessor. For example, Snow White. A lot of modern adaptations of that fairy tale think they're feminist because they give Snow White a sword and some battle armour, but still dehumanise the queen for not wanting to become old or for trying to hold onto power. Why aren't there any Snow White adaptations that examine the way society treats older women? Why do these male white creators think they're being so clever by adapting an old story and turning it into something that is clearly tainted by their own assumptions and cultural biases?
