Sorry if it’s already been posted.
His support for JK.
What a hero.

He's a brilliant man.

Wandawomble · 27/07/2020 02:11

I’d fight anyone who says he’s ugly.
His words are beautiful.
And medicine right now to this tired soul.

Gah! He's a writer, not a movie star! What do his looks matter? Let the Emma Watson's of this world worry about their looks, which will one day shrivel anyway, and then, especially for a woman, who will listen?

Glinner did ask for Mumsnet examples of strategic ignorance somewhere in a earlier thread. Such a great first paragraph to an excellent piece.

Compassion, wit and wisdom shine out of Glinner and JK Rowling.

Two of the most beautiful and brave people around.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 27/07/2020 08:28

That’s cheered me right up.

Are we accepting of the term ‘child porn’ now?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 27/07/2020 08:59

No, but the great thing about Graham is when women tell him he listens and tries to change. If he's advised to refer to images of child sexual abuse instead I'm sure he'll do his best to use that term in future.

It is a very good article. I hope he's OK.

There it is! The Santa expose!!!

Excellent piece, Glinner. Thank you for all you've done.

ChippyChippyChips · 27/07/2020 09:06

Thank you, Glinner.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 27/07/2020 09:08

there are a lot of middle-class, liberal men out there who feel confident that the safety of women and girls is theirs to give away.

God, yes.

That's a great article and really well written as well.

That last link with all the threats is quite something isn't it? The other day Owen Jones used one example of what I assume is a gender critical tweeter talking about him in a violent way (totally out of order of course), as an example of 'anti-trans activists radicalising online'. Owen Jones, apparently oh so passionate about women's rights has never once mentioned the thousands upon thousands of physically and sexually violent threats that have been made against women, particularly gender critical women, on Twitter and beyond. Not once. He has never mentioned the disgusting abuse that was showered down upon JK Rowling. Total silence.

Thank you for continuing to shine a light Graham!

Oh by the way though, can we get it changed to 'images of child sexual abuse' not 'child porn' please?

Does anyone call him out on that or is everyone blocked?
