J.K. Rowling Doubles Down, Exposes Misogyny of the Woke

The woke activists have all but told J.K. Rowling to shut up and go back to being barefoot in the kitchen.

The “Harry Potter” series author, long known for her liberal views, has beenunder attack for several days. Her crime? Tweeting that women is the right term, not “people who menstruate.” And then, to the horror of the Twitterati, Rowling didn’t apologize when there was an uproar. Instead she bravely tweeted a series of messages including, “It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”

Well, if there’s any message that doesn’t fly in the current woke environment, it’s that.

But in an extraordinary move, Rowling, instead of shutting up or apologizing, has written a long, personal essay explaining her views on sex, transgenderism, and feminism. In doing so, she dared to voice sentiments that billions around the world no doubt share—but many are afraid to even say these days, terrified of being hauled into human resources or facing other consequences.

It is true we are afraid to openly write or say the truth. Almost all of us, myself included fear either the government, intelligence, or loss of job for speaking the truth. So most of us post anonymously on Joe’s blog, which he graciously allows us to do. This is why the blog is so popular. People get to put it out there . . . Albeit anonymously.

So here is Rowling writing the truth boldly with famous name attached. Brave?

No.

She works for intelligence.

Loved "Harry Potter" before, and love them even more now. We need more people in the public eye willing to speak up like this!!!

She impressed me. Thought she was too far gone for such a rationale approach. Need much more of this and if so we might actually find a kinder gentler world

What's with this mentality that you're being attacked if you're in the minority of an opinion? Chances are you're just wrong. Wrong about segregation. Wrong about gay rights. The list goes on, with each right wing generation that dies off the world becomes more accepting. So much fear for things you only see on TV
