[quote=Anonymous]Feminists also hate The Giving Tree because it's seen as a story about how moms should always sacrifice themselves and their own desires for their children and their families. Poor old put upon mom just keeps giving and giving and never keeping score and meanwhile she gets taken advantage of. I hate the Rainbow Fish because the idea is that if someone is special they should be ashamed of that and instead should downplay their specialness so that everyone is average and the same and equal. Telling your kids to hide their scales is like telling them to sit quietly in school and not act smart because it will piss off their peers.[/quote]
