Short answer: YES. There's also various forms of racism, anti-semitism, cruelty and brutality in them, as befit the times in which they were written.

Silly romantic fairytales come from the troubador school of romances, these, apparently, were the favoured reading of ladies of a certain ilk from the twelfth century. They gave rise to the courlty love ideal, which really comes from the islamic tradition.
Then you let the prissy meddling Victorians loose with them and here we are.
I think they are a disaster for men as well.

feminists hate fairy tales too? sheesh
i don't find that too surprising that a feminist can get offended by fake stories made for little kids that are basically spongebob episodes with out the television
everyone knows its not real, even little kids don't take them seriously, and i dont think little boys and girls are consciously thinking about gender roles when they hear a story before bed

And children don't consciously think about gender roles when they watch their parents interact but it has a huge impact on them.
Or, to put it another way, you have no idea what you are blithering on about, you total twonk!

I guess the word fairy tale needs to be defined before you could argue the fact:
Fairy tale - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Fairy tale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That said, there are many examples of fairy tales where women are not seen in such a negative light:
In Hansel and Gretel, it's Gretel who cleverly notices the witches trickery and pushes her into the oven, saving her and Hansel from death. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz brings together the main characters and helps free them from their personal obstacles through kindness and understanding. Greta, the protagonist in The Snow Queen braves danger and risks death for the boy she loves even though all believe he's dead. A character in the story even states:
I'm not saying that every fairy tale is this way, and indeed many don't do feminism any favours but in just those three examples, it's a woman who was smart enough to see behind the lies, a woman who is kind enough to believe in others when no one else would, and a woman who is brave enough to fight for who she loved when everyone else had given up hope.

It would be a pleasure to shut thy trap for the awesome Detective Dolfette:biggrin1:
Seriously though, i think the majority of fairy tales have either a negative view of women or set them up for impossible roles and expectations. No one this planet is perfect. No one is or will be "a princess" or "a prince". Sure we can come close and sure we can be perfect for someone (and vice versa) but when it comes down to it the stories are unrealistic and unfair on both ends.
Cause there's no way i'll be wearing me some leggings any time soon. I just don't have the calves for it lol.
