Interesting hypothesis, but unsupportable. Most fairytales have an unknown folk origin, and it is just as likely that they were concocted in the nursery by mom or nanny as anything else........

I think it's safe to say that men collected most of the fairy tales. But my knowledge of fairy tales is somewhat skewed by the fact that I've only read a few sources, like the Brothers Grimm, and Andrew Lang. There may be wicked stepfather tales in fairytale land that I am not aware of.

Hi, penni! Here's a thought: Maybe the wicked stepmother is a way of distancing fear and anger toward a birth mother who is unloving and withholding? After all, fairy tales are supposed to be a way of dealing with real issues.

Hi- I think 'fairytales' were handed down through Females, for the most part. The 'wicked stepmother', scary crone/witchypoo fairytales most likely represent a form of Internalized Misogyny... [nowadays, we have 'feminine hygene' products, cosmetics and other consumables that send the message..."WE women are inherently unpleasant and unacceptable", unless we are catering to the male aesthetic.] -just a thought...I always hated 'fairytales', [except for One!]
