To think that JK Rowling is a lioness of epic proportions?

[WandaWomblesaurus]

I don't think I'm being unreasonable. She's put everything out there to safeguard children in the face of vile misogyny and cowardice from many of her fellow writers.

She also always has beautiful hair.

JK has sold a lot of books for someone who is trash and has been cancelled. You sound like a delight!

Well as another white trash middle aged woman i love JK and the op is NBU.

I'll get my lunch and dinner ready because I think we'll be waiting a while.

YANBU
I love JKR

Oh dear figtrees you seem a little jealous of JKs success.

Lol, she hasn't been "cancelled".

She sold a lot of books before she was cancelled.

A lot of places will drop her. Especially after the recent rant which in which she sounds absolutely unhinged.

She is so out of touch. No connection between herself and young people or progress. The only people who like her are again out. Its so pathetic. She could have been remembered as a beloved childhood author. Instead her legacy is one of hate and transphobia.

You can call it misogyny all you like. The fact is her opinions are out dated at best. Like when you give old people a pass for being casually racist but you wouldn't want a public figure holding the same opinions.

I think that figtrees illustrates perfectly how much women, especially ones of a certain age, are hated.

Erm she is still selling lots of books.

Her popularity with young people is still high and who/where has she been cancelled?

I won't engage with the obvious troll but of course JK is wonderful. She's also very classy and extremely successful.I'm too old to care for HP franchise but love her Strike novels. I'm sure her continued success - and playful giving of no f**ks attitude winds up her detractors no end.

I'd say the demographic here illustrates her real fan base 🙂

Hahaha she hasn't been cancelled silly. She's still selling books and she's still popular.

The fact is her opinions are out dated at best.

Which opinion is that?

Is it:

That women and girls are human beings and deserve single sex spaces for safety and dignity?

That lesbians who say no to penises are not bigots?

That children should be safeguarded?

That women in prison should be safe from the penises of sex offenders?

That women should be able to access rape crisis support without males being present?

or is this gem that you are saying is unhinged:

That paedophiles have no place on the board of childrens charities?

@figtrees you can repeat your fallacies again and again, and just like chanting transwomen are women, it won't make it true, but you go on and keep crying about it dear

Carry on , keep showing yourself.

You hate women, especially middle age ones with opinions.

You hate women, especially middle age ones with opinions.

Because god forbid we have opinions! How dare we?!

@figtrees

It sounds like you're a bit cross that JKR is older than 21. And that you think anyone over the age of 21 is a bit urghhh.

It's not a very sophisticated argument.

Indeed. Isn't every one of her books an instant best seller? She is the witch you can't burn

@PollyPaintsFlowers It's clearly upsetting you way more than it upsets me. I don't care about same sex toilets. I don't care who identifies as what gender. I don't care what somebody else's genitals look like.

I'm not throwing a tantrum because a minority might also be allowed rights. Boo hoo.

I'm not throwing a tantrum because a minority might also be allowed rights. Boo hoo.

What rights do trans people want that they currently don't have?

I'm not throwing a tantrum because a minority might also be allowed rights. Boo hoo.

So go on then what rights don't transpeople currently have. It's been asked several times up thread.

Educate us silly old women.

I'm not throwing a tantrum because a minority might also be allowed rights. Boo hoo.

Well of course they have rights.
What rights don't they have?

I hate unprogressive people, not middle aged women. Its just a demographic that seems to be especially intolerant and nasty but absolutely demand that they are all victims.
