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

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

JKR on Twitter, a thank you.

Finally someone said what needed saying.

Imagine being unable to define "woman" on International Women's Day, of all days.

Just give us one day when it's not about everyone else. Just women.

Lessyuck · 08/03/2022 22:27

Fuck yes

Thanks to the posters who screenshotted Twitter.

Furx · 08/03/2022 22:25

Thank you Jk. We appreciate it.

RestedDevelopment · 08/03/2022 22:24

Thank you JKR from me too.

Good to discover amongst the relentless exhausting bs from this shower, that a good solid and uplifting belly laugh is still to be had.

I also liked the comment in replies that we’re gonna need a bigger hill Grin

As someone who recently found many advertised ‘women’s’ support orgs ‘disapproving’ that I have the audacity to need single sex spaces/services to recover from male violence (I’m having to self-exclude because that’s draining all on its own)..

I truly needed to be reminded that I wasn’t alone, that other women do understand and are steadfast in their support of each other and this hill of our rights and child protection is the hill we’ll make our stand on.

Thank you Flowers

She's absolutely had enough hasn't she. Go Jo!!!!🤍💚💜

Artichokeleaves · 08/03/2022 22:21

Fabulous woman!

And yes, bloody love the demand to know if Annelise plans to lift up random objects since she apparently doesn't know what it is that she's waffling about lifting up.....

Grin
DorotheaDiamond · 08/03/2022 22:20

Go Jo!

I actually commented to dh/dd earlier that she’s obviously finally losing her temper…. All credit to her for keeping it so long!

And just in case anyone doesn’t know she is matching donations to lumos for Ukraine at the moment

AnnesBrokenSlate · 08/03/2022 22:19

Her response to Annelise asking how she would uplift women when she couldn't even describe what one was ... made me laugh so much Grin

JK is fab. She is brave and fearless and she must wonder what on earth has possessed all the Labour grandees and Scottish creatives that she used to spend time with ... and who have now forgotten basic biology. It must be quite isolating but she undaunted. She's impressive. And I particularly like that she isn't getting bogged down in party politics about it. She's on the side of women. She's a star.

FannyCann · 08/03/2022 22:18

She's such an example to all those other celebrities who stay quiet or worse join in with the two minute hate.
I couldn't admire her more.

Also she was lovely to my two girls when they were a lot younger and we saw her sitting writing in the cafe of the Scottish National Gallery.
I'd fling myself to the floor and kiss her shoes if I saw her now! 🤩🤩🤩

@Timefortea4

Absolute Queen. Thank you JKR. In the midst of this terrible mess you make my heart soar 💕

Completely agree. She's actually awesome. And her timing, after enduring the annual cock-haver-inclusion-fest that IWD has become in recent years, is perfect.

BattyOrange · 08/03/2022 22:13

I really didn't think I could love and admire her any more than I did. Turns out I can! JKR has made IWD for me this year.
She's a total queen.
Thank you Jo Flowers Gin

AtrociousCircumstance · 08/03/2022 22:12

Thank you JKR ⊃━🌟 💚🤍💜

dworky · 08/03/2022 22:09

Totally agree, she's like an oasis in the desert.

Loveacuppa · 08/03/2022 22:08

OP I wholeheartedly agree - thank fuck for JK Rowling - there honestly aren't enough superlatives in the world to describe how wonderful she is.

GibbonsGoatsGibbons · 08/03/2022 22:03

Isn't she just lbd! 🔥🔥🔥
This comment sums it up for me

BettyFilous · 08/03/2022 21:55

If she’s going down, she’ll light up the sky with her brightness of her flames. If Twitter wasn’t so bloody irritating, blocking refuseniks like me with pop-ups, I could knock the heating off and warm myself from the warm afterglow of those epic burns.

NutsOhHazelnuts · 08/03/2022 21:55

Agreed. In fact, I think JKR may have broken Twitter a bit tonight.

@Galvantula

I was just telling DH she's on fucking fire today on Twitter. 💪

You can almost hear the exasperation here:

twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1501287100343361537?t=twnyCsr7WbyR-eRiQIiWvw&s=19

💞💞

This tweet is fantastic. She's done the SNP, now Labour. The others must be worried.

Thank you JKR, it's not your job to tell the truth about public protection but thank god you do Thanks
