Sturgeon: JKR not a "real" feminist like her

Because of course the only true form of feminism centres men.

Funny how Sturgeon's "feminism" centres men and excludes women of ethnic minorities, women who have been abused, and children.

Which reminds me: if I like the Rebus novels, am I likely to enjoy the Cormorant Strike series?

Why is it fair enough for NS to defend herself from a t-shirt, but not fair enough for women to defend their right to female only spaces? That's NS choosing to not understand things. Wilful ignorance if you like.

Anyway, thank you for the book feedback. I will be ordering the first one to read on holiday.

Yes, I think you probably would like the Strike novels if you like other mystery series. They are very readable for the most part and well put together. Though I had trouble with Cuckoo's Calling, I kept starting it and not getting through the first quarter. It just didn't seem to have as much oomph.

I don't take NS seriously, but I suppose it's fair enough to defend yourself from a t-shirt slogan. I do think that she doesn't get it, it's not just that she doesn't care.
