I know Dahl is a national treasure and children love a bit of gore and all that - but DH and I were shocked at some of the language used in some of the stories (it is not easy to shock DH!)
There is a line in the Cinderella story where the prince says of Cinderella, 'who is this dirty slut'. Had to pause on that part when reading to DS!
The language in the story shows how deeply engrained misogynistic attitudes are, and continue to be carried through in our children's literature.
How can this be allowed?!!!

AIBU?
to think Roald Dahl's 'Revolting Rhymes' should be banned?
