Hi guys -
Long time, no see! I'm looking for a hint or two; maybe you all can
help me out.
Although we are all aware of the religious criticism the HP books
have received from folks who perceive them as promoting the occult
and moral relativism, I am aware that the books have *also* been
criticized by people who feel that they are guilty things like
marginalizing women, denigrating social activism, bowdlerizing
teenage sexuality and a number of other sins that are hardly typical
concerns of the people who advance the *other* sort of religious
critique mentioned above. In fact, this latter sort of criticism
seems to come from the opposite ("left"?) side of our cultural value
spectrum.
Have you all seen much of this "leftist" criticism? Any particular
names or links? - I'm having trouble finding much material. How do
you think it compares to the other kind of criticism? There
certainly doesn't seem to be as much of this kind - or is that
simply because the kind of people who advance these kinds of
critiques don't usually go bananas about it and hence don't get much
press?
Baaaaaaa,
Mike the Erstwhile Goat
