If you research the originals, they aren’t always stepmothers but mothers. Mothers killed children frequently by exposure,suffocation, or strangulation. Our Good Mother archetype is a victorian invention, just like putting women on a pedestal. Women have always been seen as evil.

The Church’s objection to divorce was a highly effective method to limit the number of stepparents, and the need for this was widely understood through folk stories and fairy tales where the evil step parent is one of the most common archetypes. https://t.co/St5Gz1Muzb
