(Anonymous) 2013-04-17 01:10 am (UTC)(link)Trelawney was portrayed as crazy but as you read on, the books show that she's not. Sure, she's not one hundred percent right, but there's a bunch of stuff she was right about and I wouldn't say she's a nut. She teaches a class about seeing the future, which most people believe to be fluid/always changing based upon how people respond. Sure, there's fate and destiny, but that doesn't mean every little detail can be accurately predicted. She's a bit like a magic meteorologist in that "this is what it looks like could happen" but not always.
I would comment about teachers but I'm so not in the mood. My prof made a derogatory comment about elementary teachers yesterday and I about lost it. (Note: I'm not a teacher, I'm not majoring in education, I just live with a teacher and I see the insane amount of crap they go through and how much they're screwed over. They're not paid enough and they're overworked, so don't tell me that it's antifeminist to be a teacher because teaching was something childless women did. Don't tell me that being a teacher is on par with being a psychopath or a lunatic. I can't stand it.)
Oh, Rita Skeeter didn't have kids. Neither did Madame Rosmerta (unless Rowling's said something about her that I haven't heard.) What about Amelia Bones, Susan Bones' aunt at Harry's trial? She didn't have kids. Mafalda Hopkirk? I suppose we can't overlook Umbridge in this, but my point is there are many other women in the series who didn't have kids (that we know of) and not all of them are bad/crazy/have jobs that were suited to "childless women" in the past.
