Emma Watson won't say anything.

She's young. She wants to make it in America. It would be career suicide and she knows it.

Actually, looking at how they are bashing JKR, it does feel harder to speak out for mere mortals :(

Katy Brand always comes over well on Infinite Monkey Cage (although will she be more Cox or Ince?) and she does seem to think about stuff. I believe she was very Christian in her youth and had to look at that and male her own decisions so it will be interesting to see her take on this. I’m not really a fan of her comedy but she seems thoughtful and decent so I guess she’ll either go with “kindness” or keep quiet. We shall see.

“Going away to have a think” is just a polite way of saying they don’t have the emotional bandwidth to wade into the ‘debate’.

And who can blame them?

ThinEndoftheWedge · 07/06/2020 21:11

*Is it just stupidity or a deliberate twisting of what she said to misinterpret "only women menstruate" to mean that a women who doesn't menstruate isn't a woman?

So many (faux?) outraged posts along the lines of "I'm menopausal- guess that means I'm not a woman*

Indeed - where was all the campaigning by pre menopausal girls, post menopausal women, pregnant women, women who have had hysterectomies etc complaining about being excluded from womanhood when people used to write:

‘Women and girls’ instead of ‘people who menstruate’.

That’s right they didn’t.

Is it because they don’t need to ‘identify’ as women because they are women?

I'm so pleased all my other women friends have just had a lightbulb moment.

Many have started to ask "who is trying to erase us?" "Who wants our throne" one of them said 😂

So I've explained, and it's been a resounding well try can fuck right off 😂

Not all women menstruate.

But everyone who menstruates is a

Tyranttoddler · 07/06/2020 21:30

I absolutely love her. I'm so glad she's at the 'gives no fucks' stage rather than the 'middle aged moment' stage.

Dances witches pretending to be wizards can menstruate Grin

BringbackLang · 07/06/2020 21:41

Berdgof will never have crippling period pains or worry about flooding while out and about.

Berdgof completely irrelevant to women

Emma Watson won't say anything. She's young. She wants to make it in America. It would be career suicide and she knows it. Watson is 30. She's only five years younger than Anne Bancroft was when she played Mrs Robinson. If she hasn't made it by now she isn't going to.

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/06/2020 22:01

@BaronessFloralBunting Grin

MadamBatty · 07/06/2020 22:03

i’ve been blocked on facebook by about 10 of my sisters friends for being a terf after reposting an article about JK. They sent me a last message telling me so.

All very woke living in West Coast US. I visit my sis at least once a year...they used tell me they loved my original thinking & that I backed up arguments with evidence & facts.

I’m very sad...do you think there is any hope of my reform or redemption?

littlbrowndog · 07/06/2020 22:11

No you bad terf

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 07/06/2020 22:17

I think the US/UK cultural divide has never been wider. I posted that mass protests in a pandemic were not a good plan, and US friends freaked out. They don't actually seem to realise everyone else isn't American, for a start ...

Flootered · 07/06/2020 22:19

I'm in ROI and the hate towards anyone who doesn't blindly follow suit and thrash JK is dismantled. I feel really down about it, it turns usually critical thinkers into caps using, slur throwing robots.
