Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Bosy, there was this day we had this english lesson which was pretty interesting. It was about "speaking component" in english-teaching and it's like an activity that might spur kids to discuss, negotiate and form speaking skills...something like that la...
but the interesting thing abt this lesson wasnt about the activity per se, but more on some snippets of the activity's materials. I know its not something important..but the fact that i am obviously the only person with my particaular opinion makes it stay in my head!
You see...we're suppose to agree or disagreee with little snippets of texts on the slip of paper that was given to us. And you have to state your point why and maybe try to convince the others.The theme was on "Snow white and the Seven Dwarves"

And my snippet was this:
"Snow White is a great role model for little girls"

And my answer was: I agree.

And when we were going round to "convince"
those two guys (fang n raph) went like "arghhhhhhh....you're a anti-feminist!!!"

hahaha...they is funny ppl...
but apparently every other girl disagreed with my snippet. they tot snow white was too submissive.

but i think...hell no lor!!
i tink they mix up "being submissive" and "caring for others"
I dont think snow white did wat she did cos she was inherently submissive!
but more like..she's so gentle and humble...and she loves others and care for them...
tat's why her observable behaviours seem so "submissive"!!
i mean....think abt tis...
if a man opens a door for some girl
is he being submissive to the girl? or is it cos he's inherently a gentleman? (skip the buaya part)
If a man has a sick wife and he carries her to see the doctor (cos she cant move)...
is he being submissive? or is cos he loves and cares for his wife?
If a man give in to his wife becos he refuses to argue w her n make her heart boil (n she has weak heart).,
is he being submissive? or is it cos he loves his wife too much?

haha so i tink....snow white IS a great role model.
Ppl, esp women, musnt be too fanatic abt this submissiveness thing and link every bloody act to being submissive.
Pride. So prideful sometimes we can be.


Oooooo bosy...n the druggist got tis snippet n he agreed w it!!
his snippet:
"The true heroine of this story is obviously the queen.At least she tries to change her destiny."

where most ppl would obviously disagreed w it...he agreed.
when he presented his point to me...
i was jus stunned silent.
i din noe wat to say to him!!!!
quite impreseed actually. hahah
