@Sanspareille Pretending that an edit that reflects the mass entry of women into professional workplaces (to a degree not extant when Dahl was writing in the 1970s) is an attempt to do violence to women seems pretty disingenuous to me, to be honest. It is a weak argument. — PolitiTweet.org

@Sanspareille That said, I do think you know that Dahl seeing the gamut of jobs a woman can hold as ranging from “cashier to secretary” was a product of his time and certainly sends an unmistakable message of disregard to young ambitious girls around the world. We don’t have to be naive, here. — PolitiTweet.org

@Sanspareille The sentence in question is explicitly about the wide range of jobs a woman can hold in society. To say that that wide range does not begin with cashier and end with secretary is in no way whatsoever shaming either of those occupations. And I do think you know that. — PolitiTweet.org
