Today, on International Womens Day, it's been rather depressing seeing all manner of organisations throw in a quick lip service tweet, only to be pulled up by that bot on their sex pay gaps. Then a vagina museum essentially goad women by doing a big thread about celebrating some people that don't have vaginas. A police force pissing off women too, and then removing the tweet with a post telling us all to "be kind". The hashtag that popped up in the middle of the day, telling women what the right kind of feminism is: the intersectional aka everyone kind.

Basically the general shite we've all come to expect because we can't have one flipping day to ourselves.

So, I would like to say, thank fuck for JK Rowling. Who has stormed in from yesterday and continued today at her magnificent, no holds barred and no shits given best. It's made it an IWD to remember.

That is all. Happy IWD Grin

Yes, which police force was it?

VestofAbsurdity · 09/03/2022 11:55

Oh yes and a huge thank you to JKR, strong, unflappable woman.

I missed that, anyone care to elaborate?

Did the Police Force who did all the performative flag crap for TW do the same for IWD? I think I already know the answer to that.

Thank you JKR, a strong and fearless woman.

@babyjellyfish blimey!! ON FIRE!

Hasselhoffsheadband · 09/03/2022 11:43

Katy Montogomerie does have a proper job (engineering I think?). I can imagine Katy being quiet in real life. I feel a bit sorry for Katy in all honesty but I wish they would just consider and listen to women a bit more, rather than just flinging insults at women who don't comply.

babyjellyfish · 09/03/2022 11:16

Did anyone catch her spat with Laurie Penny the other day?

Absolute gold.

*nice not noce Hmm

ScreamingMeMe · 09/03/2022 11:15

Monty tries to project this image of beinga noce, smiley "feminist" with good arguments, but the mask slips again and again.

DialSquare · 09/03/2022 11:06

Monty can only dream of being the supposed loser that JKR is. In more ways than one.

BraveBananaBadge · 09/03/2022 11:01

Stem from and come back to, obv...

WinterTrees · 09/03/2022 11:01

Anyone calling JKR - JK actual Rowling FFS - a loser is pretty funny.

Coming from Katy Montgomerie it's pure comedy gold.

BraveBananaBadge · 09/03/2022 10:59

As for that person asking her is this the hill she wants to die on? Why on earth wouldn't you??

The sunlight it throws on things is unreal. The amount of supposedly intelligent people resorting to whataboutery - 'why aren't you supporting the real problems women have' - fail to see that they all stem from come back to exactly this hill in the first place.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 09/03/2022 10:56

What 'job' does Monty do? I can't see anything when I google her except a significant amount of self-promotion.

ScreamingMeMe · 09/03/2022 10:48

@Hasselhoffsheadband

I'm loving the TRA reaction to this as well.

Katy Montgomerie telling her to 'grow up you absolute loser'.

Aidan Comerford still flogging that single tweet of a dead woman as a way to discredit JKR (he rolls it out at least once a week bless 'im) and comparing JK to Jimmy Saville.

Joss Prior quoting literary character descriptions from The Casual Vacancy thinking that it says something personally about JKR.

They've got nothing. The are just grasping at anything. She is pure class, she giveth no fucks now, and they just don't know how to handle it!

And you see similar behaviour from ger detractors on here.

Ha, what a shower of idiots.

Waitwhat23 · 09/03/2022 10:43

'identifies as a sexual assault survivor'

WTAF. That author cannot have put that JKR identifies as a sexual assault survivor, surely? That would show lack of humanity and empathy on an epic scale.

@littlbrowndog

Omg she’s fucking ripping it tonight. That’s a Scottish woman who’s had enough
Brilliant Grin

And, just because I know that people are pretend-cringing at this, I'm going to add a great, big YASSSSSS QUEEEEEEN!

Waitwhat23 · 09/03/2022 10:40

Katy Montgomerie telling her to 'grow up you absolute loser'.

Monty is projecting a real Mean Girls vibe there. I'm fully expecting Monty's next tweet to be 'You can't sit with us, loser!'.

Are Monty's employers aware of the deranged bullshit and accusations Monty spews on a regular basis?

Not a lawyer so don't know if they're technically actionable, but I know my employers would have me out the door stat if I posted the half of it.

NotBadConsidering · 09/03/2022 10:30

She’s just brilliant. You can feel their ire rising and eventually they can’t contain it and it spews out in misogynistic rage.

I’ll be in her neck of the woods soon, I have this secret fantasy that I’m sat in a quiet coffee shop enjoying a coffee and she comes in and says hi and we chat all about puberty blockers.

Rainbowshit · 09/03/2022 10:29

@Squishmael what Monty has a proper job?!? I assumed their TRA role was their source of income.

babyjellyfish · 09/03/2022 10:24

She was on fire yesterday. I love her.

Squishmael · 09/03/2022 10:20

I logged on to Twitter last night before bed to just really browse the shit show. Was absolutely stoked to see JKR's posts and the force of her rage.

Thank you Jo Flowers

Katy Montgomerie telling her to 'grow up you absolute loser'.

The irony.

My DH works with Monty.

Monty is as quiet as a mouse in the office. Fucking keyboard warrior/coward. I cannot WAIT for a works do that includes spouses so I can meet and greet the Monts. Grin

musicalfrog · 09/03/2022 10:18

Strange, I'm sure she received a lot of praise actually. 🤔
