Lol well yes, that was the implication.

Hero from a literary perspective. But you’re giving me the impression you’re just kind of looking to argue now sooo... not bothering.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I’m also in that whole “Neville is the real hero” camp so...

Let’s face it... it’s not just limited to here though. Growing up in the West Indies, my wife always had a butt and shapely legs. Even as a young girl there was apparently this older man who used to babysit her and her siblings from time to time.

As a man? It disgusts me. Also makes me grateful that I was raised by far more thoughtful parents than any of these pigs. I think my upbringing was largely the result of my father being raised predominantly by my grandmother. My grandfather on that side was... not really part of the picture for a long time. My…

Good point. Even back then it wasn’t about how it was affecting women. Today, a law like that should be on the basis of how the woman feels and now how the man comes across.

Definitely see that now that I’ve re-read the article.

This will never not enrage and gross me out and I, being a man, have never personally been victim to it. But my sister has been ogled at when we were walking home from school back in high school. My cousin was catcalled shortly after our grandfather’s funeral as we were walking in the street. My wife... well, jeez the…

So I guess I got more hung up focusing more on Snape to notice the overall message of the article ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ll chalk that up to be stuck drinking decaf coffee for the foreseeable future.

This post basically explains why I’ll never consider him much of a hero:

I think I’m missing the point of this article to be honest. I do get a sort of, all-over, ick factor reading about these women and their infatuation with a disturbing, not at all heroic, fictional character though.

Easy NP and I’m not a fan of these cars at all.

Studies have shown that men are less likely to wear protective masks, regarding them as weak and feminine.

I am so glad, as a man, my parents never raised me to even consider wanting to fight a poor animal, chimp or otherwise. The only kind of physical interaction I want with an animal is the opportunity to pet it. Cat, chimp, iguana, blood-thirty panther, don’t care.

I’ll be honest. I appreciate the thoughtful comment, but I am not sure I understand it fully (multi-tasking, sorry!) So I will just address what I think you are saying.

I’ll allow it.

Wow that’s an impressive build! Kudos.

You’re conflating two separate points. My thought that these books give them an excuse is related to how men who are toxically masculine often claim “Well, that’s how I was raised” or that they are simply a product of their environment. That excuse stops being valid because there comes a point when we are all pretty…

I’ve only ever had one opinion on books such as these, which I think your post basically touches on as well, if not outright saying it (may have missed that part, sorry).
