That's very well written

BlueBooby · 10/06/2020 18:02

I've been dying to say this for ages: JK Rowling, you are a true Gryffindor. (And yes, I am a true loser and huge fan).

I'm not usually emotional but when she mentioned autistic girls I welled up.

This is perfect for when anyone asks what it all about, an elouquent piece bus well respected author.

Reading this makes me realise,once again, how so much of the media, even the so called quality papers is just complete shit, either lies, badly written or both.

Shame there are two threads about this as it is so important it would be good to have responses in one place.

Ness1234 · 10/06/2020 18:00

What an amazing woman. Thank you JK

NoSquirrels · 10/06/2020 18:00

Speechless. Bloody HELL. No words adequate.

Namechange2020onceagain · 10/06/2020 17:59

She is so brave, brilliant and right. Thank you JKR

SirVixofVixHall · 10/06/2020 17:59

Made me cry too.

MrsGface · 10/06/2020 17:59

What an amazing piece. It honestly feels quite calculated, that she deliberately provoked the MRAs so she could show everyone how much hatred and misogyny lies behind the movement. And if it was calculated, then Brava Ms Rowling. Well played.

ButterflyBitch · 10/06/2020 17:59

That was breathtaking and everything you could want written down to try and make people understand. I officially love JK now. She’s amazing.

JemimaShore · 10/06/2020 17:59

Has Twitter imploded into itself with rage yet?

MorrisZapp · 10/06/2020 17:59

Absolutely stunning and literally brave.

No words.

FloatOn · 10/06/2020 17:58

This is amazing! JK is really fantastic. Thank you.

OceanOrchid · 10/06/2020 17:58

I’m so grateful to jk for so clearly articulating herself so well, and for refusing to back down. I’ve been a Potter fan since I was a teen - clearly I’ve always had excellent judgement Grin

JemimaShore · 10/06/2020 17:58

Ooh there's two threads running on this Grin

She's wonderful and courageous. That is all Thanks

(I say 'that is all' but I don't really mean it, I'll be talking about this all night Wink )

LatinforTelly · 10/06/2020 17:58

I am so moved. My god, she is brave.

pearlypidge · 10/06/2020 17:57

What an incredible piece of writing.

JK, if you are reading this thread, THANK YOU a million times.

Pertella · 10/06/2020 17:57

Did she run it past Daniel Radcliffe for his approval first? It would be really awkward for him if he has to apologise for her again Hmm

BingBongSong · 10/06/2020 17:57

I love JK Rowling. Shared on FB and Twitter.

Having been told how hateful I am by friends and chastised at work for daring to voice concern for women and girls, anyone who tells me off for posting it will be told I don't care if they think I'm hateful.

DryHeave · 10/06/2020 17:56

LUMOS!!

funklochrepublik · 10/06/2020 17:56

Thank you, Queen Jo Star

MaleficentsCrow · 10/06/2020 17:56

Oh Jo. 💐 Thank you! Thank you, thank you.

Every nail just got hit on the head, with compassion and calmness, reality and empathy, but also logic.

As a marital rape and domestic violence victim who endured 18months of prolonged abuse, thank you for understanding I want and need my safe space.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 10/06/2020 17:55

Thank you JK your words have made me braver, I will put my head above the parapet, thank you.

SaraLaraClara · 10/06/2020 17:55

I have so much respect for her. She is awesome, in the truest sense of the world. Just incredible.
