My vote is for a chapeau of schlong. All wonderfully tongue twistery phrases though!

(I mean personally I can take or mostly leave the phallus; but a fascinator of them would provide a lot more entertainment at the next church wedding I go to.)

foxgoosefinch · 12/12/2021 23:26

I really like a fascinator of phalluses 🤣

[quote foxgoosefinch]@JellySlice yes a sort of crown, like a carnival headdress. A festoon of penises![/quote]

Yes the numbers keep ticking up ErrolTheDragon but often you go back & find that your "like" has slipped & you need to re-like. Has only happened for me with JKR's tweets & I know others have found the same - always makes me wonder if the true numbers are far higher

@2319inprogress

JKR's likes are notorious for magically disappearing! They just don't seem to stick as well Hmm
Well there's over a thousand more of them than there were before I went to put the dog to bed so the bad magic doesn't seem to have kicked in yet.

@SayYouDontMind

JKR lives in Scotland. I live in Scotland. I don't think some people realise what is happening in Scotland. Nonsense like this ( see attached). A project for Women returning to work. Women who have to renegotiate their entrance to the work place because of absences for childbirth and rearing, elderly parental responsibilities, childcare responsibilities - the constant fucking juggling, compromise, sacrifice... and on line 1 of the description of what you need to qualify for this help? 'Identify as a women' (sic)

JKR thank you for not retreating from this battle. We need you.

That project (and rest of the gender equality stuff the Scottish Government are doing) seems to have been heavily advised by Engender, who refer to women as 'non-trans women'. I quote from the FAQ on their website - 'We support self-ID, and therefore welcome trans women, non-trans women, and those who identify as women.'

They actually refer to women as 'non-trans women'. It's mind boggling. And this is the 'main' feminist organisation in Scotland and the one which advises the SG.

I'm Scottish too and I despair about the situation here for women. It's going to take decades to sort this nonsense out.

Currently 22.7 likes, over 7,500 retweets and over 1,500 replies (mainly positive).

Not sure why Twitter isn't letting you see it.

@Gingerkittykat

Is everyone seeing JKRs tweets?

I had a look and she had surprisingly few likes and comments and also wasn't trending.

I'm not sure if her tweets over the past few weeks have shown up on my timeline because I've been on Twitter less often but my like on her previous tweet keeps dropping off.

I'm not on Twitter and don't know how to view the thread or trending, but the tweet has 22.4K likes which doesn't seem bad in 4hrs!

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/12/2021 22:23

I ❤️ JKR too

@hallouminatus

Shouldn't that be "bepenised"? I don't think so. We say winged and two-legged, not bewinged etc. And bepenised could be understood to follow the pattern of beheaded, changing the meaning rather drastically.
Quite an appropriate parsing of 'bepenised'.

Alternatively the 'be-' could have the same sense as in 'bedecked'. Giving the impression that the individual has had a penis bestowed upon them. Or multiple penises (penes?). Even on their head.

Love you Jo ❤️

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 12/12/2021 22:10

I love how she just unashamedly voices her opinion, whatever it may be or however unpopular it may be.

SusannaQueen · 12/12/2021 21:59

Thank you JK. This is the thing that worries me most, the fact that women are being blamed for men's crimes. I know there are far worse issues, but this is the one that really makes me sick.

Clymene · 12/12/2021 21:53

👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼
Just when I think I couldn't respect her more ... BOOM
Another fabulous tweet

2319inprogress · 12/12/2021 21:51

@AlwaysAWoman

I absolutely love this woman.

Is there anyone else of her status speaking out like she is?

I'm not sure there are many with her status/name recognition at all tbh but Martina Navratilova speaks out too.

💚🤍💜 JKR

Selkiesarereal · 12/12/2021 21:48

What a powerful tweet and let’s hope it gets a lot more people thinking about the absurdity of this.

And I actually thought MP had been banned but clearly not, I guess their post, which should be allowed to stand, shows the contempt they actually have for women when they mention politeness and respect in relation to a tweet about rapists. Quite shocking really.

@lucascriesalot

Often not as easy with autism sadly
Can I ask what you mean here?

(I am autistic btw)

foxgoosefinch · 12/12/2021 21:21

War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman.

LOL of course the joke is that in each line two things that are the complete antithesis - even antonym - of each other are pretending to be the same.

If you were to put in, as @MargaritaPie
suggests: The Transwoman Who Raped You Is A Woman, the satire is even more pointed.

In fact methinks JKR actually is hoping that we’ read it that way - as a riff on TWAW - but can’t actually write that. (Because Twitter guidelines.)

All makes me think Margarita must be a double agent for the GC side, because otherwise I’m embarrassed for them to be so unwittingly dim 🤣

Look forward to Owen’s comeback on this one….
