I'd seen the fantastic Anti-Feminist Bingo, but the other ones are new to me! Thanks for the links :D There's also a Comics Anti-Feminist Bingo (the entry at the top explains each square; the actual bingo card is toward the bottom) which is pretty good even if you only know a little bit about comics like me.
Those suffragist caricatures are fascinating. The men might have to hold the babies sometimes, oh noes! Oppression! Those made me laugh. (The one with the battered woman saying she was better off than the single woman is just horrifying, though, mostly since unfortunately that attitude isn't dead.)
I like the idea of that essay, and the poem is pretty neat read in conjunction with the last sentence of the epilogue - but it also goes so much against the tone of the epilogue that I can't quite see it as a genuine connection. Which makes me sad, because JKR could have had a few more hints in that direction - she could have mentioned that George was getting on with his life, for instance, or that Hermione's parents are finally feeling comfortable around wizards again - and she didn't.
