Some psychological thinkers, including Freud and Bettelheim, have interpreted episodes such as those found in the Bluebeard tale as psychological punishments for womens sexual curiosity.4 Early in the formulation of classical psychology womens curiosity was given quite a negative connotation, whereas men with the same attribute were called investigative. Women were called nosy, whereas men were called inquiring. In reality, the trivialization of womens curiosity so that it seems like nothing more than irksome snooping denies womens insight, hunches, intuitions. It denies all her senses. It attempts to attack her most fundamental powers: differentiation and determination.Excerpt From: Clarissa Pincola Estes.
