How Fairy Tales Fuel Toxic Beauty Standards Leading to Self-Esteem Issues and Acid Attacks 😢

Fairy tales and childhood stories have shaped the way we perceive beauty, love, and success for generations. But could these seemingly innocent tales be doing more harm than good? From the moment kids start reading about flawless princesses and charming princes, they're introduced to a world where beauty equals worth. As these ideas become embedded in our culture, they contribute to a dangerous cycle of toxic beauty standards, patriarchy, and even violent outcomes like acid attacks and rapes. In this video, we examine how the education system and the stories we tell children are contributing to deep-rooted self-esteem issues. Fairy tales reinforce harmful stereotypes where girls are only valued for their looks, while boys are taught to save the 'damsel in distress,' perpetuating outdated gender roles. For young girls, the perfect princess becomes the unattainable standard, sparking body image issues, feelings of inadequacy, and self-hate. They spend their formative years comparing themselves to these unrealistic ideals—slim, fair, and conventionally attractive—and grow up internalizing these toxic expectations. But it doesn’t stop there. As we peel back the layers, we reveal the ugly truth: the obsession with beauty, sparked by these fairy tales, can escalate into more sinister issues. Society’s unhealthy fixation on a woman's physical appearance has often led to devastating consequences, including acid attacks, sexual harassment, and even rapes. In a patriarchal society where women are frequently objectified, those who reject traditional beauty norms or the advances of men often face violent retribution. The inability to meet these impossible beauty standards can fuel jealousy, anger, and violence from men who feel entitled to female attention and validation. Our guests—Hazel Garg, Ayushi Ranjan, and Rumani Sharma—explore how these deeply entrenched ideas about beauty have real-world consequences. We discuss the role of childhood stories and how they set the stage for body shaming, cyberbullying, slut-shaming, and even life-threatening violence like acid attacks and rapes. The education system is also at fault for failing to teach children more inclusive and progressive narratives. Instead of fostering acceptance and confidence, it continues to propagate outdated notions of beauty, further embedding these dangerous beliefs in young minds. Moreover, girls and women face bullying, teasing, and harassment rooted in these toxic ideals—issues that should have no place in a child’s upbringing. As they grow older, many girls find themselves caught in a cycle of rejection, not just in love but in society at large. The inability to conform to the "perfect" image leads to deeper emotional scars, lowered self-esteem, and in some extreme cases, violent responses from others. Acid attacks, in particular, are often a tragic result of this deeply ingrained patriarchy, where men use violence to punish women who reject their advances or fail to meet their beauty expectations. Patriarchy also plays a crucial role in perpetuating these issues. It thrives on stories that glorify female submission and male dominance, reinforcing the power dynamics that often lead to sexual violence, harassment, and objectification. This narrative places the responsibility on women to be beautiful, compliant, and subservient, while men are taught to dominate and control. These imbalances contribute to the normalization of rape culture, where consent is disregarded, and women are blamed for the violence inflicted upon them. This episode of Aao Behen Chuglee Karen aims to break down the complex web of how fairy tales, the education system, and patriarchal values contribute to self-esteem issues, acid attacks, and sexual violence. We also explore ways to foster a more inclusive and body-positive environment for children, teaching them to reject these toxic narratives and embrace acceptance, resilience, and individuality. It's time to rethink the stories we tell our kids and challenge the damaging standards they promote. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
