People cannot expect 75 year old works to be updated for modern audiences, and they shouldn't get upset if we don't all jump to "clean up" literary history that we now find distasteful.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, yes, modern calls to bowdlerize fiction. Always so earnest. Always so awful.

[(Anonymous)]

That has no effect on OP's frustration, though.

[(Anonymous)]

no, but it is relevant for the people screaming that JRRT COULD HAVE DONE BETTER AND HE DIDN'T!

In some cases they should be used as lessons, I think.

For example, the whole thing with the use of the word "nigger" in Huckleberry Finn. While I have a hard time typing the word, and it pains me to say it* I don't feel like the book should be changed. I think it should be used as a lesson in history, and to open a discussion with children.

Not sure a lack of women can really be used as a lesson. Perhaps if all the women were weeping women, but they're not. The ones we see the most - Galadriel and Eowyn - are actually pretty awesome. There are just very few of them.

*I teach adult ESL and one time a student came in and asked me to explain when it was ok to use, because he found it odd that there were very specific rules. Trying to explain when it sent a sharp sword through my soul each time I said it was quite difficult.
