Review for Harry Potter and the Distaff Side

Harry Potter and the Distaff Side

(#) oximoron 2008-01-12

I was taking the gender role switch into account. As I see it would normally be fathers worrying about the virtue of their daughters. Thus the flip side of that would be mothers worrying about the virtues of their sons.

The reversal in gender roles does leave me wondering about child rearing though. A large part of the gender roles deal with child rearing and I wonder what "equipment" changes there are to reinforce the role reversal.

Author's response

- No equipment changes. Women birth babies, but men, since they are more nurturing, raise them.
