Well, the way girls are presented sometimes irritates me as well.  I'm
actually less irritated by Harry's view during GoF (because girls do
talk about who has asked them to dances) and because Harry is likely
exagerrating because he hasn't had the nerve or opportunity to
approach Cho and is irritated.

What bugs me more is all the references to girls screaming and
gasping.  If the boys start, the girls scream.  The first example that
comes to mind (without the books in front of me) is in PS when Harry's
after the rememberall.  And it happens several other times.  Makes it
seem like the girls are more fearful than the boys, and that just
doesn't cut it with me.
