That's the interpretation from the modern perspective on relationships. The tale is from a time where women (well, more like girls to be exact) were married off without any say of their own, and the tale was supposed to tell them "hey, we know the guy we're forcing you to marry seems like a hairy monster, buuuuut if you can look past that he might be nice actually!"
Being hairy monster makes you not-nice automatically?
Um, yea.
sad
There's a difference between being hairy and being a hairy monster.
Generally it's the fangs and claws.
