"aggressor"?

She said she supported LGBT people several years ago.

The aggressor against womens rights and against JK. EW is the aggressor against JK.

Emma Watson: not newsworthy. EW + JKR: newsworthy.

There you go.

So glad someone else said that...I thought exactly the same! 🤔

TRAs all seem to 'speak' as if they've run their thought bubbles through AI and then through a thesaurus. They all 'speak' alike. Very robot-like.

Nah, not buying it.

Emma Watson actively encouraged people to give money to Mermaids even though it was public knowledge at the time that Susie Green took her 15 year old son to Thailand so he could have his genitals removed as a 'present' on the morning of his 16th birthday.

Watson isn't stupid and if she had done the bare minimum of research she could have seen the video of Susie Green laughing about the fact her son's penis never grew, because he had taken puberty blockers. They had to remove a third of his colon to construct a 'neovagina' for him.

(Anyone can confirm this for themselves by going on YouTube and typing 'Susie Green laughing' in the search bar.)

Of course we've had the Cass review and puberty blockers are banned now, but how many vulnerable children took Mermaids seriously as a result of patronage by people like Watson who were too lazy to check the facts?

Funnywonder · 25/09/2025 09:50

She absolutely loves herself, doesn’t she? Her excuses for getting banned from driving are priceless. I mean, we were all driven around until we passed our tests or managed to afford a car. Perhaps not in limos, but in our friends’ and families’ Ford Fiestas and Volkswagen Golfs or whatever. You pass your test. You follow the rules. Even if you don’t drive very often. Maybe you make the odd mistake. It’s as if she wants to dissociate herself from mere mortals who accrue points for being reckless because she believes she has a valid reason. She could at least own her shit, entitled driving style. Absolutely pathetic.

I’ll never forget how I cringed from the inside out when she made that horrible little aside about J K Rowling at the BAFTA’s. I really dislike what I know of her. Even if she ends up some day agreeing with JK, she strikes me as someone who will never apologise or acknowledge her mistakes.

She isn't even doing that. She's just finally coming to the conclusion that it might be ok for people to disagree with her.

Yes.

Now if she actually apologised for her own behaviour towards JKR, that would be really interesting.

I have to say she is clearly a spoilt self indulgent idiot irrespective of her views on trans people. Oh poor me, I can't possibly be expected to follow the law and not speed. The excuse of always being driven might excuse your first speeding penalty. Not 4. Stupid brat.

The law is the law, but it doesn't apply to meeee...

Sounds familiar

ThatCyanCat · 25/09/2025 09:43

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 25/09/2025 09:39

Other people have been doing exactly that for the last five years while she's been repeatedly putting the boot in.

Are we supposed to give her a cookie and a gold star for doing it now?

I mean, my child was driven everywhere for the first 17 years of his life too, because hmmm, he was a child. Yet he, and all his peers who were also driven everywhere for the first 17 years of their lives, have all managed not to get 4 speeding tickets now that they have their licenses.

Watson and all the others are allowed to hold different views to JKR; they don't have to agree with her just because they played her characters.

What really pissed me off was that, as far as I can recall, none of them ever spoke out against all the deranged abuse and threats she received and still does. Did any of them ever say, "I disagree with her on this but I'm appalled by all the threats and abuse and they need to stop"?

Yes. Like a coward she said nothing. She reminds me of those cowards in a group friends with a bully who does not speak up when things go too far, but goes along with the bully. We all know if EW received rape threats and death threats, she'd be giving interviews and crying on tv about how unfair it was.

Cosseted, self-righteous idiot begins to sense that her luxury beliefs are no longer as fashionable and takes a tentative step backwards into the beginnings of a reverse ferret.

This is good though. It shows someone can have more than one thought - more than one opinion.
That we don't need to cancel someone just because one of our many opinions opposes theirs.
More people should be allowed to say 'I believe in this... this person doesn't.. that's ok and we can still be friends!'

Well, having read the article, I don’t see anything that says she has? She’s just quoted as saying hopefully people can get on if they have different views.

Oh dear. The transes won't like that. Not pure enough!

Um, its the other way round. JKR was the one declaring no mercy. Remember?

How can I remember something that never happened?

There are three reasons why a man thinks he's a woman. Either he has a fetish, he has gender dysphoria, or he's been pushed towards thoughts that because he's gay and doesn't present as a traditional man he must therefore be female.
When I say pushed I don't say it glibly, my kids are two young adults and I've seen the onslaught of trans on the social media they use.
If you want to call all or any of that organic full your boots. No one is saying trans people shouldn't live their lives in safety, we just don't want males in females spaces. It's that simple.

This!

They’re saying JKR is Trump, because both have made comments re: not forgiving.

I heard trump thinks water is wet.
Am I Trump?
Are we all Trump? 🤔

I know. Im being facetious. It’s all comments like that deserve.

She isn't saying she wants to hunt Emma Watson down. She's saying she doesn't forgive her. And she doesn't have to.

It would be gracious of her to forgive Emma Watson if she actually apologised to her, but she hasn't, so there is no reason to, is there?

This. And it's yet another example of how regressive gender ideology is, that having a mental health problem is considered some kind of slur, or at least the male rights activists pretend that it is. I had thought society was moving past this kind of attitude to mental health, but of course not.
Of course it is far more clear with young, often neurodiverse, girls who trans-identify that there is poor mental health involved. And also, mental health is certainly spouted all the time as a reason why males' desire for validation is more important than female sex-based rights.
But the MRAs dont want a genuine discussion about mental health, because it's too important to their movement to be able to claim that all the, often older, often aggressive, males are just as vulnerable as the young girls.

100% agree. It’s a travesty, and in my view abuse on a large scale societal level. These youngster should get help with their mental health, not encouraged towards genital mutilation.

Indeed.
This is from a man from Australia who for ....reasons.... spends hours every day on a UK feminist board lecturing women with his own distorted views of feminism, women, the UK and politics
😂😂😂

Edited

Trust me on this, he most certainly is not from Australia. He is from America, and I am fairly certain from which state just from some google sleuthing.
