Inspired by the #metoo stuff, an English mom wants the story of Sleeping Beauty to be banned from young children, or to be changed to a more modern and appropriate version. In the fairy tale, a prince kisses sleeping beauty to wake her up, but he does this without asking her permission.

I wonder how she will react if she finds out that the prince actually raped Sleeping Beauty in the original version.

 

Telegraph also found some things in other fairy tales that could be considered sexist:
