That is outrageously, absurdly untrue and misogynistic. It suggests men *randomly* rape and sexually assault women on the basis of… what? Clothes? Make up? Hairdo? Are you even being serious? You can’t be.
Shame on you for speaking such absurd and disrespectful garbage.

I hope this is in no way file-able under a ‘nasty tweet’ but I genuinely don’t see - on a rational, practical and/or philosophical level, what
@jk_rowling
is saying, or has said, which suggests a diminution of human complexity or a promotion of 'groupthink'. Quite the contrary.

@GraceREThomas
Brother, stop trying to gaslight Grace. No man of good character with basic levels of empathy would sit right next to a woman on an otherwise empty bus. It is absolutely intended 2 intimidate. He is the wrongdoer, direct your judgements at him - and yourself, while you’re at it.

@glosswitch
It's 'educate yourself' not in the traditional sense of 'learn new things' but in the sense of 'learn to nod along or at least to stay silent'.
The more you read of this gibberish, the more one sees it is just that.

Critics of the methodology of the systematic reviews that form the basis of the Cass Review are displaying their limited understanding of research methods and evidence based medicine — but that’s what got us into this mess in the first place
@JamesMFKearney
No need to seek out some ‘voices’ - they are drawn to harass women’s lawful gatherings and sound pornified, lesbophobic and misogynistic. Only abusive men benefit from ‘elevating’ that.

A man dominates his wife and children. He wants to be called ‘The Master’. Should they call him what he wants to be called, because ‘it’s basic decency’?
I’d vote ‘no’
@HumzaYousaf
Can men tell, with extremely high levels of accuracy, women from other males, even if the latter are wearing clothing, make-up, footwear more typically worn by women and calling themselves names like ‘Isla’, ‘Tiffany’ and ‘Paris’?
@laurarichards99
@BBCWomansHour
Thanks Laura. It really does. No man who wasn't abusive would sit next to a woman on an otherwise empty bus or train carriage. They certainly wouldn't do it to another man, which is very illustrative.
He sent the pictures of his sleeping female victim to '2 WhatsApp group chats, comprising 70 people'.
1. Were the 'people' all male? Most probably
2. Which of those 70 'people' told him not to do it and/or alerted the police? That's a lot of accessories
@jk_rowling
'I am a cis male' means 'I'm a man who accepts any old crap stereotypes about masculinity. I don't scrutinise, analyse, delegitimise or counter ANY of them. I want that made VERY clear!'
@jk_rowling
Who’d have thought this could be in any way controversial?
It’s basic reality, logic and rational defence of women’s and girls’ rights against a multi-pronged onslaught
No more, no less
Any madness or malice lie elsewhere
@Finn_Mackay
‘Let’s deal with this in private’
Just like the church.
Just like the police.
Just like any abusive context.
No different in essence or outcome.
Not being able to see that speaks of a dangerous naïveté
Not *wanting* to see it speaks of something else
@RadFem_KatH
Yes, that is a problem. There are rapey creeps in our community unfortunately. I jst don't think it's going to help us to address it, with the sex & gender conservative mainstream peering in from outside & using that to pursue an anti LGBTQ agenda, picking off trans women first.
@jk_rowling
I agree.
“It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man.”
Nothing can stop this being true.
@No_ideology_MTF
@drrachelhewitt
@DalriadaTemple
The ‘logic’ of that would be that the boys are the manual labourers (physical, mobile, energy-expending) and the girls are the architects, geologists and engineers (cerebral and more sedentary)
But I’m sure you don’t mean that, either.

Tears - and outrage and ethical condemnation - are not on a meter. We can criticize men buying kids from trafficked women overseas AND child poverty in the UK.

That’s sound advice. Know the nature, limits, appeal and weakness of the threat. In a similar sort of way, I’ve watched more Andr*w Tate (et al) content than my brain thanks my eyes for but it’s useful to know the territory that others inhabit.

Im really, really sorry to see this. That’s assault (ABH?) surely?

The opposite of a silver bullet?
1. Implicit blame of single mothers
2. Lack of curiosity about why so many men are not 'good role models' in their sons' lives
3. EMPTY SLOGANS IN CAPITAL LETTERS
@elliebgomersall
Nothing ‘unhinged’ about needing to name the sexed, material reality of who does what, to whom.
The ‘unhinged’ rants are those which deny obvious fact.
So true. 10 years ago, we were all agreed that sex is randomly assigned at birth, some women commit rape with their penises and cis privileged uterus havers need to take a back seat in feminism. How did so many people get radicalised into thinking otherwise?

@Finn_Mackay
MP’s are an objectively discrete category (they don’t ‘selfID’) and are therefore a measurable demographic. It’s not academically robust or rigorous to compare them to a demographic which is *subjectively* defined
It’s like comparing dentists with ‘nice people’
Un-academic
@K_IngalaSmith
Good point. He’s clearly a public liability. Also - we expect kids to be able to navigate the online minefield, while the representatives of adult decision-making do this!
Solidarity with all the women attending this. I’d love to have been able to show solidarity in person with a few other men, maybe - on the edges, not getting in the way, of course! - but health issues have got in the way. There in spirit!

I don’t agree with that as a principle. I think kids need loving, protective and stimulating adults. If that happens to be a male and female family, fine. If it’s otherwise, also fine.

@jk_rowling
A few years ago, thinking about this gruesome, macabre malpractice, the Children's Crusades came to mind. Not a precise historical rhyme, but something resonates - the zealotry, the cant of adults, the pious hope of the still-children and the ultimate toll of pain and carnage.

I'd share this with them but it appears I'm blocked by them, despite never having heard of them! They sound like men who haven't developed a sense of respect for women.

@scottishgreens
If stating that sex is a biological reality, that lesbians are same-sex attracted & women are globally disadvantaged on the basis of material sex is '𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑐' then the word '𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑐' is essentially a misogynistic weapon, aimed at silencing women.

I understand the appeal of making statements which show affiliation and alignment, and Twitter is the quintessential tool for that, but worthy affiliation and alignment are best honoured by rationalisation. Anyway, feel free to file under ‘nasty tweet’ or ‘dogpile’ etc

We should stop using the word ‘inappropriate’ when referring to behaviours & language which are intentionally sexually intimidating. That word masks & lessens what is being done - it’s not a ‘contextual error’, like wearing the wrong shoes for a hike.
What do you think?

beneficial current applicability or relevance, or ‘painful’ (for whom is there ‘pain’?), anti-complexity or pro ‘groupthink’? The detail of a reply, should you feel like replying, would make a basis for a constructive & productive exploration of this terrain.

Unless we ignore centuries of irrefutable evidence from most human cultures we must adopt a praxis in which safeguarding is cognizant of the disproportionate risks posed by adult male bodies (hardware) animated by patriarchal misogyny (software), clothes/pronouns notwithstanding

@minifingerz
This is similar 2 all the male domestic abusers who apparently have ‘anger issues’, ‘depression’ and/or ‘PTSD’. If only their partners or kids are abused, those psychological conditions, when genuinely present, are merely coincidental.
The selective abuse of women is societal.
