to rescue her, is sure at the apex of ('patriarchal') femininity. No wonder such images draw the scorns of rad fems. But it sure is also the persona ideal for transgenders.(2nd pic below). There's actually an 'all male' version of swan lake(I once downloaded the video&expectedly,it looks stupid). I suggest the following rainbow variations on the theme/endings: 1)Siegfried(the prince) decided he's queer, dumped Odette(the swan princess)and joined kock in hand with Rothbart(the villian)    2)Odette was actually a gay man trapped inside a Swan chick's body looking for a prince to mount/rescue 'him'(there started the artistry of 'fcuk a duck'). Rothbart was a bible thumping 'de-programmer' on queers.
