why did the one character who talked out against slavery in harry potter get treated like a nagging woman and was never taken seriously

because that's precisely how feminists are treated when they speak out against the nuclear family model. please think just a little bit harder about this before asking dumb questions.

‘Why can’t we all behave like we’re at a dinner party’ isn’t a solution, it’s a way of making issues invisible so people who don’t want to think about them aren’t made to feel uncomfortable.

You can’t win as a woman in fiction. Be too positive, you become a Mary Sue, have flaws and those flaws are why almost nobody likes you. Be moderate, you have wet-cabbage personality, be exuberant, you are an unrealistic example. Have strong morals, and you’re badly developed, be morally corrupt and you’re hated with such vigour fans will send hate mail to the actress who plays the character. Be kind and soft and in love, you’re a representation of sexism, be cruel, harsh and cold and you’re just a bitch. Be a complex, realistic, ambiguous character, and either your flaws or your positive traits will be ignored or blown out of proportion and into oblivion. There is no winning for female characters.
