JK Rowling is being called out on twitter by Owl for liking Janice Turner's fox-in-the-henhouse article.

Many of us have thought for a long while that JKR is on side. I wish she would come out publicly and fully support women.

Can we swap our Fox and Owl for the adorably ridiculous people dancing in the woods? Because that would be lovely, and they'd probably quite like Rowling.

How much time do these Twitter warriors spend on there in order to police people’s likes?

Does anyone else always think of this when Fox is mentioned?

Total power play. Some of them are drunk with the sense of control, so it's part of the game to fold their arms and tap their foot crossly when someone they thought they had firmly in hand seems to misbehave.

Remind me, was it Owl or Fox who said homosexuality was 'deviant' in that video?

YANBU. There is no safe option to use in regards to someone who describes themselves as nonbinary. Which is likely to be part of their reason for doing so, imo - so much delicious power in making everyone walk on eggshells.

This exactly.

I love that cartoon, woman.

Sometimes I wonder if TRAs are completely tone deaf or if they pick particularly awful cases to support and enforce dominance precisely because they're so awful. Maybe they see it as the most effective way to shift the Overton window.

I think partly, but it's also a Duping Delight power kick. The more outrageous thing they can achieve the better.

BettyDuMonde · 14/09/2018 20:04

That’s awesome.

To go with the fox, here's the laughing owl. With a cheeky wink! What larks!

Cute fox!

I now feel the need to point out that I never go into henhouses and I don't have relationships with owls Blush NAFALT!

Iused2BanOptimist · 14/09/2018 19:42

Looks like this fox is having a laugh. I don't know about the wrong side of history but it does feel like women are the wrong side of the joke.

Both my DSs despise the regressive left, so they are very open to GC opinions. They came to it through disliking the authoritarianism rather than the attitudes towards women - but it certainly made them more open to considering the attitudes towards women.

Your DS2 sounds👍LangCleg.

I emailed TSS. They said 'it' is 'dehumanising' which I suppose would be fair enough WERE IT NOT A FUCKING OWL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT Grin

"And it's so insidious"

It's frightening how insidious it is. The first time I ever heard 'woman with a penis' I was so startled I laughed; how ridiculous, nonsensical, who's going to buy this, etc. Now it sounds almost normal .

It began with 'born in the wrong body', which insidious little phrase wound its way into the collective consciousness until it sounded reasonable, and now is trotted out as if it's an actual medical diagnosis.

I noticed one reply on Twitter was stating that trans men should be in men's prisons, I wondered has this ever happened? I'm going to guess that no biological woman who has had no surgery will ever want to be placed in a mans prison.

This made me smile. I’m assuming it’s Shady Pines all way, where it’s always gin o’clock.
