Well, I looked up that last little phrase you had there, and I suppose there's something there that can be used.
This is from Wikipedia, the part about the cautionary tale is interesting to me.
Such folk stories are frequently told as cautionary tales warning of the dangers of unknown women and to discourage rape.[1]
Erich Neumann relays one such myth in which "a fish inhabits the vagina of the Terrible Mother; the hero is the man who overcomes the Terrible Mother, breaks the teeth out of her vagina, and so makes her into a woman".[2]
The legend also appears in the mythology of the Chaco and Guiana tribes of South America. In some versions, the hero leaves one tooth.[3] An Ainu language tale containing this element was published as "The Island of Women" by Basil Hall Chamberlain, where it was described as a well known Japanese tale by E. B. Tylor.[4]
