JK Rowling: The Misandric Rabbit Hole
We've never read Harry Potter or seen a film, so we can't judge her writing skills, but JK Rowling strikes us as somebody of below average intelligence and very bigoted when it comes to talking about life and yet her fantasy writings seem to make her feel qualified to speak out on anything she fancies.
Born in 1965, like me, Rowling seems to know very little about feminism. The shrieks of 'TRANS-WOMEN ARE PREVERTS WHO WANT TO ABUSE WOMEN!' seem to appeal to her, as does the notion that men are less trustworthy than women as carers, nurses, etc.
Rowling, of course, fails to make comparisons with her own gender unless it's the fact she believes she and others of her kind are 'sugar and spice and all things nice'. She does, of course, make her queenly pronouncements to an audience of adorers, who love her fantasy tales, and in a comfortable environment largely provided by glass cellar job men upkeeping the infrastructure.
Amazing.
Rowling tends not to see much about facts beyond the accepted narratives. She's English but now lives in Scotland, and ask her what she thinks about the Barnett Formula (loathed by Lord Joel Barnett, its late creator), asymmetric national devolution, the West Lothian Question, etc, and you'll most likely be met with a blank stare or a garbled account which is the accepted narrative of the Woke.
Rowling shrieks about trans-women competing in women's sports, but fails to admit feminism encouraged, in fact screamed, the 'Gender Is A Social Construct' hypothesis for years.
And it was the feminist movement which fought to invade male spaces, including female reporters in male changing rooms, with no thought for their privacy or dignity, back in the 1970s.
We think that feminism needs to own what it has partly created. Of course, we don't believe that trans-women should compete against women, but we also don't believe that the vast majority of trans-women are perverts out to abuse women either, and Rowling's slur on male carers, nurses, paramedics, etc, is unforgiveable.
Have a listen to Vernon Meigs on the subject.
