All those old fairy tales have one single core lesson for children: stranger danger!
In that light, the original Sleeping Beauty plot makes sense. Don’t get shit-faced and pass out at a house party around a bunch of horny drunk randos. Most of the guys there might be decent and honorable, but it only takes one horrible creep.
That is, sadly, a better outcome lesson than waking up to a gentle kiss from a kind and handsome prince, no?
