Yes, yes definitely that is exactly what I meant. I did not mean like 
men at all, I meant like Hermione. I also can say me too under snipped 
part of your post, but to keep this post from being a me too, let me 
follow up on it.

I also want to say that I did not study feminism in details and to me 
feminism means empowering of women, and the possibility for them make 
different choices, very very different that's all.

And by the way there are some things that I heard women who claim to be 
feminists say that to me are completely unacceptable. I won't get into 
this onlist since it will get completely OT.

So to go back to Potterverse, to me seeing Minerva take charge of 
Hogwarts defense and stepping out of Dumbledore's shadow was much more 
feminist moment as I understand it for myself.

JMO,

Alla
