"Saya tidak berpikir bahwa ada target audiens sama sekali. Kisah-kisah ini beredar. Kisah-kisah itu diceritakan oleh laki-laki, diceritakan di pasar oleh laki-laki, tetapi juga di belakang pintu oleh perempuan, tetapi tidak ada catatan nyata tentang ini. Kemungkinan mereka diberitahu oleh wanita untuk anak-anak di kamar interior mereka. Ceritanya bisa menjadi cerita negatif, mereka bisa disajikan sebagai, "Hati-hati! Wanita akan mengganggumu, melakukan sesuatu untukmu, menenunmu dalam jerih payah mereka." Bisa dimakamkan di dalamnya sebuah kisah peringatan tua tentang wanita dan tipu muslihat mereka."

I don't think that there's a target audience at all. These stories were in circulation. The stories were told by men, told in the marketplace by men, but also behind doors by women, but there's no real record of this. It's likely they were told by women to children in their interior rooms. The story could be a negative story, they could be presented as a, "Watch out! Women will get round you, do things to you, weave you in their toils." It could be buried in it an old cautionary story about women and their wiles.
