Some males are weakness, and they will look like the princess in the story. Moreover, it establishes a correct concept of marriage for female. At the end of the story, the princess said the prince is a bum, and she didn’t marry with the prince. A good marriage is important for female. Princess doesn’t mean she must marry with prince. When the man is bum, woman needs to make a good decision for their marriage. “Gender equality also known as sex equality of the genders, refers to the refers to view that men and women should receive equal treatment, and should not be discriminated against based on gender, unless there is a sound biological reason for different treatment (Eichler, Margrit).” There is a law protect the gender equality. “Harassment and sexual harassment within the meaning of this Directive shall be deemed to be discrimination on the grounds of sex and therefore prohibited (Council Directive).
