Gender roles in a nutshell: the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang entrances in The Goblet of Fire.

also, to my knowledge neither of those schools were sex-segregated in the books

That bothered me more than the Dumbledore yelling, actually.

Nicolas Flamel was an alum of Beauxbatons.

The first headteacher of Durmstrang was a witch.

Bam.

In the books, it even says that there were boys and girls from each school. Thanks Hollywood for making Durmstrang buff and all athletic men and Beauxbatons all feminine and dainty.

Just imagine what it would have meant for every kid watching, seeing girls walking beside the guys in Durmstrang being “manly” and boys walking with Beuxbaton being flirty and feminine.

It would have shown that girls and boys can be however they want.

It also suggested that the only way a female could have be selected to participate was if she was not up against any male competition. In the books Fleur is chosen as the best candidate for her school from a selection of female AND male students. And she was the best PERSON. Not the best GIRL.

all men are Russian and all Women are French.

Select your gender: 🔳 Russian
🔳 French

ah yes my gender is French and my pronouns are oui/baguette please respect that merci beaucoup

nice nice nice!! that also its getting more attention here, i’m not sure what’s happening in schools but my aunt asked me information about that and she’s a high school teacher, so this is def getting attention

It’s definitely gaining traction, and there are teachers and professors pushing for its inclusion on daily classroom dialogue/t-s talk/etc. But (there’s always a but, smh) problems arises when other teachers/professors clash and argue it’s not “proper” language to be taught at school, either they argue because its use isn’t widespread or that it isn’t “accepted” by academies of languages (usually they refer to RAE, which is also why RAE’s prescriptivism is so harmful but that’s another can of worms).

Uruguayan department of education now allows the use of inclusive language in the classroom officially as long as the professors of said subject agree/don’t mind. We’re getting there (they’re just making a debate on it in national TV)
