  CMC said - 

  "Oh, now, Susan, we all regard you as a first-class citizen at HP for
  Grownups.  And do you really think that making Voldy or Snape or Malfoy
  female would mollify the Gender Critics?"

   
  CMC - What's a gender critic? (obviously I don't get out enough)

  "the Feminists were
  somewhat restrained in their enthusiasm for them."

  Which feminists? who feminists? this is like saying all chrisitans believe in X (if it's not god then you're not going to be right)

  CMC - I think you are belittleing Susan and that's just a *tiny* bit mean. I agree with Susan, as has proably been obvious  - but I've also been really interested in the posts by Amanda and Martha (to pick two), who have a very different perspective. 

  We can't all agree on everything here and this discussion about JKR's treatment of gender has revealed some significant differances in how we all read JKR and what a diverse range of ppl she appeals to. I'm not saying that we should unquestionably celebrate this diversity and not discuss our differences but please play nice.
