There’s a massive difference between misogyny and seeing sexist aspects in a work or seeing ways in a work suffers from residual sexist attitudes or could have been improved in those regards.
So does a work containing ″sexist aspects” predict anything? Or is this just a free-floating term?
I went as Harry dressed as the Chaos General and she went as Hermione dressed as the Sunshine general. That friend stopped recommending people read HPMoR. Similarly, there’s at least one woman who is highly involved in the rationalist community (including heavy involvement in CFAR) who stopped reading HPMoR outright because of the gender issues.
Given that this thread started with Coscott pointing out that HPMoR angered feminists, and you claiming that they had good reason to be angry, I don’t see how mentioning that you personally know two of said feminists is supposed to be evidence of something.
