i don't know I'm just interested in different people's experiences with popular media. by girl spaces I do mean fandom but also middle/high school cliques.
ok well bell hooks is talking about children here, the harry potter books were made to mature as the books go on sure, but if you look at what bell hooks is saying and recall the discussion around boys falling behind in reading we are talking about younger children here. and yes it was pushed on younger boys. there was a whole media narrative about it.
