A grown man, and he's terrified of brilliant young women, smart young men, and science fiction stories, and he probably thinks witches are real.

Hagee has twin sons and it was my great pleasure to beat them soundly twice a season for about 15 years. Memories that bring a smile to my face on dark days.

Also he points out that the books praise witches, which clearly gives power and prestige to women.

I wondered why he was attacking the books now? Weren't there news stories that young people who've read the Potter books don't support Trump?!

male dominated in the same way and the women have progressed pretty much similarly to 20th century women. Mrs. Weasley is a housewife! Granted there are some female professors, but the Minister of Magic is male!

One admirable thing is the Quiddich game - it is coed. But the most famous players are male!
