DiscussionJK Rowling is still on fire on IWD
Edit: I left Ovarit because there is a large group here that has no reserve in verbally abusing, demeaning and dehumanizing women who have the audacity to have their own opinions and experiences. This toxic attitude is not only tolerated but condoned as women who point this out have their comments and posts, at best, down voted but more often than not removed by mods in several different circles. A large group of you are acting EXACTLY like the flip side of the coin where the other side is TRA.
I will not walk on eggshells, i refuse to be verbally abused for having an opinion and life experiences that are my own, and i refuse to contribute to a community that thinks its ok to insult victims of horrific child abuse because they recognized their abusive mothers behavior in Amber Heard's. A community that thinks its ok to make fake stories and accusations up about strong women like Kellie-Jay Keen (a racist? really? shame on you) . A community that makes young teen girls feels embarrassed and shames them because they do not have the courage to stand out from their friends and not wear make up or even just shaming women for loving to wear skirts (wtf?). A community that paints conservative and Christian women as the bad guys and bullies them into silence.
I am a centrist, atheist and alternative style person but most of all I am a feminist and i stand for ALL women's rights and I embrace the opinions, experiences and thoughts of people who are very different than me. I appreciate many excellent conversations i had with people of different minds and cultures. We are all women of equal worth yet different and I refuse to be part of a group that does not recognize the value of that and insists on becoming a closed minded toxic circle jerk.

The female Shadow Minister of Equalities does not know on International woman's day what a woman is when she was asked on the radio show Woman's Hour what a woman is. How embarrassing and enraging is this?
Edit update 22hCET: The Queen is NOT playing today
Quote tweet to Dodds: "This morning you told the British public you literally can't define what a woman is. What's the plan, lift up random objects until you find one that rattles?" https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1501287100343361537
Some rando asked her if this is the hill she wants to die on: "Yes, sweetheart. I'm staying right here on this hill, defending the right of women and girls to talk about themselves, their bodies and their lives in any way they damn well please. You worry about your legacy, I'll worry about mine " https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1501291633165357056
