I guess one silver lining to this nonsense is that it revealed just how many unprincipled social climbing careerists live among us.
Hasn't it? Nothing kills one's credibility like denial of objective, observable facts.

I just don't believe anymore that you can get to the top of any large org without that exact qualification.

Yep. You have to be the right mixture of kissass and delusional egotist at the same time

I admire so much how eloquent she is in dealing with the whole situation,
What a treat to be represented by such a well-spoken women
Yeah... meanwhile TIMS have clowns, pedos and themselves. XD
Yeah, she's seriously such a f'ing boss. She posted a pic a bit ago with some hulking athletes and said she was like 5'2 or something. I probably could've surmised that she'd be a petite gal, but I never see her that way in my head since she has such a commanding, powerfully elegant presence.

Ask John Swinney to start utilizing them in the porn and surrogacy industry. These women need empowering too.

Funny how reddit doesn't enforces the same rules in NSFW subs they enforce in their normal ones.

True but men aren't going to see it that way. They want carte blanche to do whatever stifling things they want, from something as "innocent" as flirting with impunity while partnered to as heinous as committing gender specific murder. Adding gas to this thing publicly keeps the bro code going and attention away from their own search histories.

Exactly. It's a trafficking ring run at government levels. These men want Gilead, but with open, pornographic presentation of women instead of the Handmaid robes, and perverted fetishists able to rape women and children without the slightest hindrance.
I'm in awe of how Rowling went from having one foot still in the handmaiden camp to going Full TERF on main. This is what happens when you actually listen to trans people
She literally would make a great politician, except she has too many morals for herself to work effectively as one. Morally sound women do not go into politics (usually).
It’s also worth noting that all of her politician and bureaucrat characters were not good people, at least the ones in Harry Potter.
Right, she’s very self aware. That also would not make her a good politician
That's why I was shocked she had the characters go work there. I guess the idea was that the government could be fixed with their help, but ugh. Go do other stuff.
Lol right? I suppose it doesn’t help that she wrote the wizarding world such that the only job options are the Ministry, Hogwarts, and small business.
Politics is always a compromise. Perhaps that's also why she doesn't even want to consider that option. Personally I think she's much more useful to women by speaking out and being extremely helpful and generous in other ways (like opening a women-only rape crisis center).
I agree. She can actually get more done for the benefit of women as who she is now than she ever would as a politician due to bureaucratics alone
It's a really good point - I mean, she has a life, and a vocation, so I'm sure it's low on her to-do list, but her clarity of thought and communication combined with her powerful moral compass and her lived experience as a poor single mother and victim of domestic abuse would be such a valuable asset to government.
