Lily Evans Was a feminist. Ergo So Was James Potter
I don’t know how to tell you this but:
1. Canon James Potter only asked Lily Evans out once.
ONCE
The whole “he kept asking her out every few minutes for years till she relented” thing is complete fanon
Makey-upy
Capisce? ONCE
2. Lily Evans wasn’t a pushover
Lily was canonically a firebrand. She was kind and beautiful, sure. but - she was described as cheeky and clever. She could be scary (Sirius & James in SWM). She was a muggleborn growing up in 1970s Britain. For those not aware, this was happening in 1970s Britain:
“ If you’re black, working class and a woman, you lose out three times over” (1971)
Also - we know she was from a nondescript midlands town. This was what it would have been like:
So you’re telling me that a bright, intelligent, studious woman and a bit of a rebel, who refused the offer to join Voldemort and duelled him 3 times - who volunteered to get involved in an underground/illegal, subversive group in a war against Wix bigoted fascist-types - somehow wasn’t remotely interested in the women’s rights movement, CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament), workers’ right and the Gay liberation Front?
Everyone can make up their own marauders headcanons etc etc - but for me, with that personality?
Not a chance
Ok, but then, if we agree Lily wasn’t clueless about feminism and other social movements in 1970s/early 1980s - you think she’d actually date Potter (let along marry the bloke) if he wasn’t a feminist too??
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???
In the same way I’d never ever even consider a single figment of an imagined date with a Trump Guy, Lily Evans wouldn’t go out with someone uninterested in women’s rights… that’s just the way it is.
(You can decide did he start off not v knowledgeable about this area and need a lot of education to undo misogynistic thinking. Or you can decide that Mia Potter (with her husband’s full support) was a strong woman who was really involved in rights movements in the Wix World and James Potter understood all this stuff from the age of 3. I don’t care)
@chdarling’s The Last Enemy certainly has themes involving this stuff, and we know that’s our canon bible!
Or, inferior fic obviously, but from We Can Be Heroes:
“To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy: Ich bin eine Feministin.”

One thing I truly love about Mabel is that she is completely genuine and sincere weird little girl representation. She has a morbid sense of humour. She grew up with a horrifying plush bear called Bear-O and literally everybody hated him. Her prized possession is a pig whom she won at a carnival, claiming to be a witch while doing so. Her initial design for a wax figure was a fairy princess horse fairy princess. She punched a unicorn. She draws portraits of her friends on cats and sells them for a profit. Her dream boyfriend is a Bill and Ted clone who has a masters in law. She's scared of stop motion. Her uncle didn't like colours so she hatched a plan with her friends to blind him. When her uncle offered her a free gift from his shop, she took a grappling hook without even considering any other option. One time she said the sentence "it's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids." No one is doing it like her
