JK Rowling gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to save female lawyers and their families in Afghanistan

[Misstache]

But…but…I thought she didn’t really care about women and is just transphobic! I thought she was supposed to be a “literal Nazi!” Weird how she keeps giving all this money to women’s causes, isn’t it? And doesn’t even brag about it.

Isn’t it strange how this isn’t being blasted across media?

So unexplainably strange...

Once again I'm not okay that it's papers which I otherwise have NO time for that are reporting this... 🙃

She's amazing.

(Which is meant to be a dig at the guardian et al for being fucking silent on women's rights and nuance, again.)

Such a fascist etc

Amazing woman.

Wonderful woman - unbelievable that the terminally stupid want to cancel her.

Thank you JKR and everyone else who was involved in saving these women and their families.

Wonderful woman who continues to make such a positive impact on women and children's lives. Thank you, JKR. 💐

Fantastic woman

Plus she paid hefty tax bill in U.K. good job all round

Lovely woman.

I wonder how many of the TRAs currently sending her death threats in 15 years times will dress their kids for school on world book day as someone from Harry potter, as they bought their child all the books?

She's wonderful. Love her!

I adore this woman. So brave and principled. I cannot wait to see the knots that TRA/MRA's and IW/Owen Jones/Billy Bragg twist themselves into on this one.

She is wonderful.

This is an important project as those lawyers and their families are at great risk in Afghanistan.

JK Rowling stands for women's rights. This cannot be mentioned by those who accuse her of being anti-trans, because then the clashing of the trans demands for rights and women's rights would become clearer.

And I don't suppose it's because it's a story which is so absolutely unsurprising that it's not really 'news'.

Isn't she the only person who dropped down the Rich List or whatever it is called, just because of the amount of money she has given away.

Unbelievable that she isn't a National Treasure.

Loathsome that so called "news" papers are now no better or no worse than Fox news. ie just outlets to promote the biases of the presenters / writers.

Yes she's the only person who donated herself out of being a billionaire.

She's one of the very few people to still live in their native country and pay full taxes instead of tucking it away in the cayman's.

She funds her own charities like Lumos who have a 100% donation guarantee which means it is one of the few charities where the total of your donation goes to the actual cause instead of for example just 10 cents and the rest to PR/admin/employees.

She funds a woman's shelter so it's not dependable on government funding.

She vocally stands up for women's rights.

She is a hero and an amazing role model for all girls.

Imagine having female lawyers on your kill list simply because they're intelligent and hardworking while also being in possession of a vagina? Misogyny is not only depraved but completely nonsensical.

It's a shame there was a need for her to fund this, but brilliant that she did.

This is being reported almost nowhere. Doesn't fit with the narrative, I guess. Ridiculous.

She's done more than BlightyGov then

JKR, if you ever read this... I admire your integrity and thoughtfulness: you never seem to put a foot wrong. I admire the fact that in a virtue-signalling world where so many only do good things in order to attract attention and approval, you do good things quietly and without needing a fanfare. Thank you for setting such a good example.

She truly cares for and loves women.

I hugely admire her 🌻

I also think she's incredible. So brave. I'm grateful for everything she is doing, and in awe of her courage in the face of so much unfriendly fire.

Me too. She is just the best woman using her money to help children and women

sturgeon you are lucky to have such a woman in our country

and you should listen to what she says

she must be biggest tax payer in Scotland. As we have higher rates of tax than rest of uk
