The Smurfs as a Metaphor for Genesis, with the same patriarchial 'blame the woman' message.
Why not blame the woman? It's her fault! (All kidding aside, if you read the Genesis story in context you discover the man gets the blame.)
What, we can't cast blame where it belongs because she's female?
Sheesh!
I mean, think about it: what should we think about a woman (Smurfette) who deliberately moves into a community where she knows perfectly well that she's the only female. I mean, smurf, she had to have done that just to cause trouble. It's just so "Desperate Smurfwives" or perhaps "Smurf in the City". I don't know how anybody thought that series could be appropriate for children!
