Peter Dinklage calls out Disney’s ‘SNOW WHITE’ remake, saying “you’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that fucking backwards story about 7 dwarfs living in a cave together… Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox?

Dwarfishness is sublimated male sexuality. They epitomise that archaic bargain between the attenuated male mind with its focus on extricating function from materiality and the spatulate female mind with its encompassing of social and environmental context. Dwarfs cannot conceive of the expansive thing that surrounds them but are digging and honing pointedness of purpose and covetice. The Rumpelstiltskin story typifies this bargain and appears in a large number of permutations. The story is that of the covenant between the sexes. One s*x can do stuff that the other s*x needs but claims mating rights in return. The other s*x utilises social chicanery to evade the terms of the covenant. Hilarity ensues.
