Imaginary encyclopedia from Russian HP fandom

[sunnyskywalker]

Ekaterina Sedia translated some Russian fans' article titles for a fantasy (as in, it unfortunately doesn't exist... yet...) encyclopedia of feminism in Harry Potter. Some sample titles:

- House Elves: Just Like Women, Only Ugly and Invisible
- Professor Vector, or Anonymity of Women in Mathematics
- Luna Lovegood, Tom Riddle, Harry Potter: Good Children Don't Get PTSD
- Conventional Man is Allowed Anger but not Grief. Harry Potter: The Masculinity Trap
- Remus Lupin and the "Good Cripple" Archetype

I thought this community might appreciate this list. Now, if only it were a real encyclopedia...

Yeah, not only do witches get slammed for being both under- or over-dressed, but they get slammed even more than the wizards do for the same fashion crimes! So unfair. I like both your titles, too.

Hm, there is also Lockhart... "Gender Policing: Social Consequences to Men Employing Conventionally Feminine Attention to Appearance."

Love your attention to, er, detail.
