Little Red Riding Hood Syndrome, otherwise known as, "#MeToo." As defined by the European fairy tale about the naive, wholesome, and pure-hearted Little Red Riding Hood, who ignores the wisdom and warnings of her mother and impetuously ventures into the
dark & dangerous
world to fulfill her noble, altruistic, and self-sacrificing
quest only to be accosted and consumed by the lusting, ravenous and Machiavellian Big Bad Wolf! Overtly trusting and deceived by her own cognitive dissonance, she tragically remains trapped within her own self-deception,
blind to the true nature of the wolf and unable to
see the wolf's true intentions for her until it is too late. Perhaps a noble and enabling woodcutter
will come to her hapless rescue and maintain her dysfunctional behaviors and those of her daughters.
"What a deep voice you have!" ("The
better to greet you with", responds the wolf), "Goodness, what big eyes you have!" ("The
better to see you with", responds the wolf), "And what big hands you have!" ("The
better to hug/grab you with", responds the wolf), and lastly, "What a big mouth you have" ("The better to eat you with!", responds the wolf), at which point the wolf jumps out of bed and eats her up too. 30 years later, Little Red Riding Hood, Tweets a #MeToo and the Big Bad Wolf is kicked out of the forest by an angry
mob; all involved being casualities of Little Red Riding Hood Syndrome.
