All she had to do was shut up and take her paychecks

And that just sums up the whole thing, doesn't it? How dare a woman have opinions? Doesn't she know she's meant to stand there and look appealing?

That thread is just lies, damned lies and falsehoods. Half of it is lazy guilt by association, where the only thing the other party is guilty of is being associated with her, a loop of association if you will. It's something I've seen too much of recently

What has Rowling actually done wrong?

She's associated with all these nasty people

Ok, and what have they done?

They've founded organisations/ written books that are nasty and trans exclusionary

Have you actually looked into the organisations or read the books?

No, but I know they're nasty and trans exclusionary because they're the kind of people associating with Rowling who's nasty and trans exclusionary

Yeah... Upon reading the tweets she got demonised for, I understood the whole thing was a bunch of bullshit. Everyone acts as if she wants to murder trannies, and then it turns out she just had a normal, moderate opinion on the matter. Not even anti trans.

Everything short of outright celebration and conceding to all their demands is anti trans nowadays. For years they've been saying "Well just make your own rape shelters if you don't like these ones being trans inclusive" and now that Rowling has done exactly that and set up a crisis service for women only she's still getting crucified for it

Kathleen Stock got hounded out of her job and her views are as moderate as they come. She's one of the most pragmatic voices in the whole debate, but just because she says "Look, we all know we're lying really. You might think it's a nice thing to say, but nobody believes trans women LITERALLY are women nor trans men men" that makes her an evil bigot who doesn't deserve to have a job.

I like that they're still shitting on her for doing something good again. How thick do you have to be to not understand that women who have been abused by men might not want to be around them when they're vulnerable? It's either stupidity or wilful ignorance and at this point i'm leaning more towards it being intentional.

Yep they want to hurt ordinary people because they despise them.

It's pretty obvious now.

By Rowling making her own rape/abuse service that is for women only, she is removing the women who use her service from increasing the demand of existing services. That means that the existing services now have more ability to help the women, including transwomen who need their help. So she is actually indirectly helping those transwomen. Yet, that's a bad thing! It sort of seems as if the problem isn't transwomen who've been abused getting help. But transwomen being allowed access to abused women. Hmmmm.

almost funny how quickly things flipped for the radfems 2012-14: one day they're shutting down mixed shelters and men's campus centers with 1% the budget of the women's one and high off Tumblr fumes--nobody and I mean NOBODY was gonna stop the parthenogenic she-topia!

then a slightly different group of narcs discovers their techniques and immediately uses it against them and they're FLOORED--they were supposed to have this all to themselves!

too bad about all the men and women in actual need getting screwed over because someone at a 300-student college was upset at their dad

The whole thing is radfems getting a taste of their own medicine and it is glorious

[–]OuroborosTheory 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

they really had it all--rape victims to schlick to as "counselors," legal inability to rape, plush budgets, Amber Heard pulling in the big bucks, whole chaired college departments to house their glorified op-eds

then the warbling of a thousand Yanivs coming over the hill Bravehart-style on mobility scooters

I mean she's a borderline rad-fem. But you know, excommunication only works for heresy from those in the church to begin with

It's puzzling to me how wokies were all about feminism and then there was a split. But remove feminism and you have nothing.

These sorts of groups without a strong objectively consistent philosophy, can only maintain group cohesion through hatred of an enemy. Once the winds shift and the enemy is no longer considered such a threat, they inevitably will turn on each other. Whether that's entirely an organic process or one which is influenced by outside parties remains to be seen.

I really think a lot of this shit comes from the illusion of there being a strong online following. Let's see how it fares without twitter bots backing it up. Of course, it just moves on to reddit but...
