@MrsFionaCharming first thing I did this morning was order the Galbraith books. We've run out of HP stuff to buy. Grin

Scrimpshaw her tweet is showing as 169k likes to me.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 07/06/2020 20:04

RE Emma Watson, didn’t she get burned this week with her supposedly inadequate response to BLM? She might be sitting this one out.

Enderthedragon · 07/06/2020 20:06

I can see 169k likes to the tweet about sex being real.

saveeno · 07/06/2020 20:06

Time has come for the 99% to challenge the 1%.

Women need to be on the first foot here. Good on JK.

It is ridiculous the amount of traction this issue has and no thought for women, as in those born with the bits that make them women from the start. I hope you understand what I mean.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 07/06/2020 20:09

How very odd! Now up to 169k! It's possible I'm hallucinating, I suppose. I should have taken a screenshot.

popehilarious · 07/06/2020 20:15

Surely Emma Watson won't stay quiet if she's being harangued. It costs nearly nothing to come out with a woke platitude that doesn't really say anything.

Actually I've just checked and her IG has a pic of her with Paris Lees from last year.

TooTiredTodayOk · 07/06/2020 20:20

I can't see a photo of Emma Watson and Paris Lees on her IG?

Russellbrandshair · 07/06/2020 20:22

She’s my hero

Fanthorpe · 07/06/2020 20:23

Paris Lees interviewed EW for Vogue last year. Although PL was very much centred in the interview.

FannyCann · 07/06/2020 20:24

Just looking through a few of the comments on the DM article about JK. Quite a few posters are genuinely confused. People who clearly had no idea about any of this.
She's done more to spread sunlight than anyone else I can think of could.

1980spopstarsarefabulous · 07/06/2020 20:25

Shows you what a cesspit twitter can be and also why a lot of people on there are surprised when elections don't turn out how they expect it be from their virtue signalling echo chamber**

not all I know*

Manipulating the hashtags to favour the woke... they really do need to get off the Internet & live in the real world Wink

Anything from Caitlin Moran yet? No?

Caitlin Moran was always awful- you'll have a long wait.

Blackdoggotmytonguestill · 07/06/2020 20:28

Aye, craic, that’s the one. Forget the gold lame purse, you just need a pink spencer or a nice bonnet. Tadaaa.

LivingasaWoman · 07/06/2020 20:30

I would hope that JKR and Emma Watson would be able to have a proper conversation about this issue. Not on Twitter with grand pronouncements but a real conversation. Might have to be on Zoom though. I’d hope they’d be able to truly listen to one another and not in the slightly coercive way Paris Lees did the ‘would you be scared to have me in the same toilet with you Emma?’ to which Emma could never have answered anything other than ‘of course not ‘ without coming across as a terribly unkind person. Which Emma is not - she’s so, so lovely 😊

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/06/2020 20:32

Pretty disheartened to see Kirsty Blackman RT Mhairi Black on this. (Friend of a friend and I'd hoped she could see women's pov.) But I guess they've chosen their sides.

calpolatdawn · 07/06/2020 20:33

i saw this and this thread might appreciate it, one of my favourite twitter accounts.

Oh I say. Jolyon Maugham has blocked me. It's true, I did post a few fox and kimono references a while back. I'm amused to think of him trawling through all his replies to block everyone who made a disobliging post. I assume he doesn't have some blocker program like the old t** f blocker. Fox blocker? Kimono blocker? Grin

saveeno · 07/06/2020 20:35

Women may now have a voice at last.

Why are we silenced by this vocal minority? How did Governments accede to all this?

Meanwhile women are just, well invisible and do what you are told etc.

I hope the fightback happens now. The Trans movement has had far too much influence on women's lives and spaces. I still do not know how that happened. Does anyone, given the tiny amount of people affected?

TehBewilderness · 07/06/2020 20:49

It's because transgender advocacy maintains the social hierarchy while redefining misogyny and homophobia as progressive.

Like so many other social evils it was done in the name of fairness to men.

BaronessFloralBunting · 07/06/2020 20:54

Ok, I am properly laughing now. Did some idiot from Twitter really just rock up and attempt to do a text version of those slightly paedophilic Kpop GIFs that the terminally dense think are mic drop moments? That's one of the weakest efforts I've seen round these parts for a while 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Helmetbymidnight · 07/06/2020 20:54

I saw Katy Brand having a very civilised discussion about this - she's left it as she's going away to have a think about it all.
She sounds very sensible, but very new to the conversation.

Helmetbymidnight · 07/06/2020 20:56

One tweet of JKR has 171K Likes. I don't think they can roll them all back can they?
