Every last sexist fiend
Is it just me, or is it implied every time someone says something like, JKR has grown too big for her boots, that she has no right because she's a woman?
EtA: the subtext/vibe I'm getting it that she's 'getting uppity', and that that is just not on because she's 'only' a woman like the rest of us.
And that, friends, pisses me off beyond all reason.

Sexist jackasstors make me wanna backhand someone.
Given some of the mysogyny in fanfiction, esp. in HP, there's clearly this view that women are only nice if wives and mummies who stay at home and bake cakes and shit. Hence the frequent dumbing down of Potter characters like Hermione - in so many fanfics, she's a robot with umpteen kids*.
*As a working parent, it's not the kids, per se, I object to, it's the 'I must abandon my career aspirations to be a stay at home mum'.
But at the same time, any woman who DOES stay at home and bake cakes (let alone shitting) is clearly unfeministical and bad, and a good way of calling a pairing bad is to say that they'll have tons of kids, those breeders.
