I don't think you can judge how they would treat women as adults by what you see when they're kids who are being forced to grow up too fast by a war, thereby NOT getting normal socialization during their later teens. They both have SO much room to grow between seventeen and thirty.

I think there are definitely times when they treat girls badly, but it's not indicative of who they are or mean to be-- there's not a teenage boy on the planet who doesn't sometimes treat the girls/women in his life badly, just as there's not one who doesn't sometimes treat his male friends badly, because part of growing up is learning how to treat people and how to be in charge of your emotions so that you can behave better to people. Harry and Ron also treat each other poorly sometimes, but it doesn't mean they aren't good friends in the end, it means they're CHILDREN who are going through things no child should have to go through, who are emotional and sometimes dumb.

And Harry treats Luna better than most people, honestly?? We see Ron grow into a person who treats Hermione better! We see him make mistakes, and learn from them, and sometimes he goes back to being laddish for a while. For that matter, Hermione is not the perfect friend, either, Hermione is not immune to acting on her emotions without thinking about others. But as a girl, she's forced to live to a different standard from a much younger age, and so there are fewer instances-- not because she's inherently a better friend or human being, but because of how boys and girls are socialized, and also how each individual kid out of the trio has been socialized prior to Hogwarts!

Exactly. They're teenagers; teenagers are by definition dumb and impulsive and not always the most aware of the effects their words and actions have on others. They have a considerable amount of maturing to do before they're adults.
