Considering that Mary lived at a time when she was the property of all the male members of her household, it was very progressive of her, and Jesus, to nag Jesus to go do something at the Canna Wedding; and for Jesus to not ignore his mother and DO IT!
Mary was a powerful leader, first among the Apostles, there when Jesus performed his First Miracle, she's the one that nagged him into it, and was highly respected by those in her circle of influence. Not something that ANY woman of that time should or could have done, but she did!

You've got your Marys confused. Jesus' mother isn't a focus of much scripture after his birth.
The Mary who was first among the Apostles is Mary Magdalene.

Jesus did ignore His mother. Her request didn't get Him to do it. He said to her, "What have I to do with you, woman?"
Later when she called for Him, He gave her no special treatment because He said, "Who is My mother? Only those who do the will of God are My mother".
We never hear Mary say anything after the wedding at Cana.
Mary finally believed when Jesus was on the cross and was blessed for her belief.
Mary was a sinner that would have gone to eternal hell if she didn't believe in Jesus as we do. Mary isn't a virgin anymore, as she had relations with Joseph and had many children with Joseph. Mary isn't a "co-redemptrix" and she can't hear anyone "praying" to her.

First of all Mary did not nag Jesus, Because Jesus said I do NOTHING UNLES MY FATHER TELLS ME, Not Mary telling him. It was the Mother side of Mary to worry about her Son, Jesus even told his Mother, That he must be about his father business.

She didn't nag him. She informed him of the hosts dilemma. It would have been very embarrassing to run out of wine during the days long wedding feast. I would call her concern compassion rather than feminism.

You lost me at "hello".
"Here is an interesting question"?!? Next time, how about dispensing with the self-congratulatory preliminaries!
