(By the way, I never said I didn't enjoy them. I said I didn't see why they were worth such a lot of fuss. They were ripping good stories but certainly not what I'd call literature, what!)
Anyway, I think it's a measure of the vestiges of chivalry, what. Not in the way Moon is always chuntering on about it, but--well, I say, when a man causes harm to a woman like that--particularly when they were forced to fight--it's simply not comfortable for a chap to read about. Or consider, what. But for a woman to do it under those circumstances is all right.
It's well odd, because it's not as if witches are any less capable of really hurting wizards than wizards are of hurting witches but--well, it's a double-standard, I suppose.
But it's interesting you're not certain we shall win in the end. I'm quite sure of it.
