Hating women is really fashionable right now among the "woke" as long as they put white in front of it. You could say this kind of misogyny never went out of style but pretending it's some sort of groundbreaking progressiveness is new.

I feel such a visceral revulsion for people that tell a woman to "shut up" like they do JK Rowling, even more so when it's such a concerted media effort. That sort of muzzling language is never used for men they disagree with.

And in many of the cases we're seeing today, the misogyny and anti-white animus is combined with, and fortified by, ageism too. It's no accident that JKR is what sexist, ageist people would consider "past her sell date" - in her 50s, post menopause, no longer in her reproductive years or sexual prime. As the whole "Karen" thing shows, white women who are no longer dewy, nubile lasses in the bloom of youth/early adulthood are the ones getting routinely slagged off nowadays.

And ironically its the same people who accuse GC people of not thinking post-menopausal women are women.
