*snicker*
It’s the end of an era. The entertainment which has stretched across books, movies, and countless marketing tie-ins, which has captivated children and adults for well over a decade and which has, for better or worse, managed to become the defining myth for an entire generation, is winding to its close. I speak, of course, of the Hermione Granger series, by Joanne Rowling.
Gender swapperoo what-if games might be my favorite form of feminist critique, so I found this rather delightful just as a rhetorical exercise, if nothing else. But there's a lot of good points in here, especially regarding S.P.E.W. I don't think I can get behind everything she says... Doyle's implicit dismissal of every female character besides Hermione seems to commit the same fallacy she herself is mocking, for one... but I like this.
