One for Sorrow

The Ron/Ginny fight is so weird for me because obviously Ron starts it and there's really no defense for what he says. As you say, even if he's been raised to see girls as people who have honor to be protected, he's obviously just projecting his own screwed up issues. But Ginny's reaction still seems so over the top to me and so completely destroying him I don't really get it. Really it comes down to it being yet another Mary Sue moment for me. Ron's just set up to look dumb all the way around, especially since he is trying to do something nice on one level. (Not that I think that's really the case, actually. He may believe superficially he's protecting his sister, but really he's just freaked out seeing her snogging Dean, imo.)
