I agree - you'd think if anything that gravity would draw the hair downwards, and we'd end up with Hobbit feet, but is seems to find little oases of calm on the eyebrows, upper lip - a few bold spikey ones daringly colonise the chin . . . meanwhile my "lady garden" looks like someone has been at it with the Round-Up and I shed more head hair every day than the cat does. (I have more whiskers, too)

I thought I was the only one shedding hair so much I could make a wig with it.

'You don't speak for decent women'!? Is that a twiX from the 18th Century?

For Gods sake. It's reminiscent of would you let your wives and servants read this book.

Don't they understand what absolute morons they sound like when they say women with opinions aren't 'decent', and J. K. Rowling has been deliberately defiant! Against some twat's advice, too.

A self-made billionaire. How do they think, exactly, that would work in a patriarchal environment without defiance and, er, opinions??

These are the men who would've prevented her from ever being successful in the first place.

The rage and outrage that a woman, a second-class citizen, no less, should dare to ignore them.

They never tell you any of this crap do they!!

Then your wake up sometime around your forties, fifties if you're lucky going what the fuck happened??

I noticed a hair stuck to my face last year , I ran my fingers over it to return it to it's friends on my head and got a sudden sharp pain in my cheek, all three inches of it was sprouting from the middle of my face 😱. From the length of it it must have been happily growing away for months. I was horrified. The little fucker gets plucked the minute it puts its head above the parapet now.

It was probably only there since breakfast time, I swear they go from nothing to really really long in nano seconds!

I was once in the Maldives and had an eyebrow sprout overnight like 3 inches long WTF

JKR on Twitter/X. 5.5 million views. Sunlight. And a real challenge.

dapsnotplimsolls · 01/04/2024 22:40

Those poor monitors - trying to get juicy quotes and we're just talking about unexpected hair-growth 😁

Boiledbeetle · 01/04/2024 22:41

In amongst all the hateful tweets from women on twitter I just saw the following AD:

I really like the way JK Rowling can always be relied on to follow through and put her (metaphorical) money where her mouth is.
Have popped some money into Lumos tonight as thanks for her bravery...

Have you tried identifying as a girl? That's what the men do, middle aged men never seem to discover they are in fact middle aged women, they are always girls.

OceanicBoundlessness · 01/04/2024 22:48

My husband is asking has anyone been arrested yet?
Surely there must be dozens in the clink by now!

IcakethereforeIam · 01/04/2024 22:53

There's an article in the Telegraph that Sunak's backed her. I've not linked it, there wasn't much else in it that was new.

I don't think this will save the tories but I hope Labour is watching. Has Starmer or one of his Igors said anything?

Stealth boast. 😉

Hats off to JKR for keeping this in the news today. 👏

The trouble is I'd been identifying as a miserable old hag for decades before I became one And I'm not sure how I'd identify as anything else now that I've grown into the position!

JanesLittleGirl · 01/04/2024 22:56

I remember being a post pubescent girl. It was shit and I really don't want to go back there.

Steady on. These investigations take time when all the training you've had to prepare for this is a 2hr online training package.

I doubt all 500 Hate Champions have received their lapel pins yet.

fuck. I was just musing as to whether I should put some tweezers in the glove compartment. But thought it might be a bit over the top. Turns out it isn’t. And it’s a thing. Who knew?

By far the best light. Take it from me.

IcakethereforeIam · 01/04/2024 23:02

I think it was kindly meant. I, on the other hand, am pea green with envy...Skeggy!

I've got one very fine grey hair that pops up on my jawline. I think it moves. I can never find it until it's several inches long.
