Why shouldn't I? There's nothing wrong with a good debate.

No. Why would I do that? All I was saying is that both men and women in this series are defined by their relationship to men. For every women defined by a man, there's a man defined by a man. I don't find anything wrong with that. I don't consider the books sexist, no matter what the ratio is. I look at the personalies of all involved, and to me, Hermione is worth 10 Fudges.
