I see JKR is being jumped on now for some of the other items sold in the online shop. Some are tongue in cheek and others may seem harsh to some people but I can't say that I disagree with the ones that I've seen so far.
Interesting, isn't it. That online shop sells more than a hundred products. Are we now to assume that buying one product and telling others where to find it means we endorse every other product on the site and share every belief of the owner?
I mean Angela is what I would call a hardcore lesbian feminist (not an official categorisation). Neither deference to men, nor dependence on men. Quite a few uncharitable opinions of men. Not shy to express them. There's a few sentiments expressed there in some of those products I don't agree with, but so what? I just won't buy them. I've bought stuff from other shops that sold products I didn't like. Literally every bookshop, my favourite kind of shop in the world, sells products I find wholly objectionable. Countless products that express bad things about my class, my ethnicity, my sex, my age, my hobbies, my character traits, my body, my weight, my fashion sense, my work, my aspirations, my relationships, my personal habits, my parenting style. Everything I am, have been and do. Derided. So what? I just don't bother with those books.
Sometimes I just want to say oh grow the fuck up you numpties. The world is big enough to accommodate more than just your narrow-minded views.
