I have nothing but support for her regarding this. It’s funny how many on the left are becoming so extreme that they don’t realise that they have become who they claim to hate the most.

I must admit I have something in my eye reading that Blush.

She's such a classy woman.

I hope Keir Starmer reads that....

Michelleoftheresistance · 28/06/2020 17:49

Oh my fucking stars. There is a black woman on that thread talking to JK who has been 'frequently' accused of leveraging her experience and trauma FGM 'to be transphobic'.

Frequently.

Just when I think I've seen the worst and ugliest depths of this political movement and it's utter inability to care for anyone or anything but self, it happens again.

‘ She cited Dworkin! You legend Joanne!’

THIS

I'm posting this response because it's a beaut and deserves some more eyes rolling at it

I especially like how that spectacular fool goes on to equate JKR’s essay with ‘Mein Kampf’. 😂

heathspeedwell · 28/06/2020 17:48

Brilliant that Russell Moyle issued an apology, but I'm seething at what he said.

Her reply couldn't be more succinct and measured.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/06/2020 17:47

Well, women speaking out about male violence does make men look - and feel - bad. So of course women should shut up. Awesome as usual JKR.

Thems the rules...

It doesn't occur to that tweeter that TRAs picked our hill - well, the whole mountain range of womanhood - to fight on, does it?

OliveKitteridgeAgain · 28/06/2020 17:44

@MollyAtTheFolly

The number of people that have just written 'shut up' as a response. It's so mature and they will definitely ensure they get what they want Hmm Grin

What a waste of a tweet. At least argue your point!

They can't. That's what no platforming/cancelling amounts to. A command to shut up, and stop speaking truth. They have no rational argument - only unicorns and fairy stories.

She cited Dworkin! You legend Joanne!

StandWithYou · 28/06/2020 17:43

There are so many inspiring women - thank you to all. Just when I think we aren’t making any headway you keep on going and inspiring me. Amazing writing fro JKR.

JK Rowling.. Fabulous as always. Love this woman

@ahumanfemale

She's brilliant.

The reply directly after that one says it all.
BigBadVoodooHat · 28/06/2020 17:41

I wonder how Daniel and Emma will respond to this one. I hope they have the decency to feel some embarrassment

Having seen them both ‘act’, it’s safe to say that they lack the emotional depth and self-awareness to meaningfully reflect on their clumsiness.

7Days · 28/06/2020 17:41

Wonderful JK.
A legend

RoyalCorgi · 28/06/2020 17:39

What a waste of a tweet. At least argue your point!

They can't. "Shut up" is all they have when confronted with a brave woman talking about women's experience of violence.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 28/06/2020 17:39

The number of people that have just written 'shut up' as a response

Their heads are 'literally' exploding that a woman has said no. They have zero control over her. It's beautiful.

Z0rr0 · 28/06/2020 17:38

Her post and her replies to some of the people thanking her made me tear up. It's lovely.

She is absolutely brilliant. Go JK!

StealthPolarBear · 28/06/2020 17:37

Amazing. I wish you could like posts more than once.

StandUpStraight · 28/06/2020 17:35

@CaveMum thank you!!!
Wow. She is just incredible. I can only imagine the idiotic responses this is eliciting. The juxtaposition of her thoughtful and measured tweets with the screeching will no doubt be very illuminating for a few more people. More sunlight.

HandsOffMyRights · 28/06/2020 17:34

She is a trailblazer!
