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.
