Description: Everyone knows Rumpelstiltskin's story or thinks they do. But this innocent - seeming tale hides generations of women's shrewd accounts of their relationships with men. And the verdict is not flattering. The fairytale may count among the world's oldest dirty jokes. The theme of the tale an observation repeated and varied throughout mocks male inadequacy in many forms beginning with sexual failure. The punchline misplaced over time its wickedly funny insights about adult life passed for childish nonsense. The story hides in plain sight criticism of workplace sexual harassment centuries before society took notice of the indignity. Rumpelstiltskin tells a feminist tale with lessons for men and women about what women said to each other when they thought their private conversation and complaints passed unnoticed. In the story's different versions the Brothers Grimm who recorded the tale missed women's wry observations.
