Time for a new thread, the old one here has reached 50 pages.

Are there hidden sexist themes in the story?

Is Jo more old fashioned then she let's on?

Is Ginny nothing more then a baby-making machine? Is Molly? Tonks?

Does Hermione need to be defined by what man she is with, whether it be Ron or Harry or anyone at all?

Are Mothers glorified over Career women?

Just posting some questions to keep the ball rolling. smile.gif
