I have been seeing so many broken links lately so I just want to share this.
If you’re going to provide a source (news article, blog, whatever) it’s important to archive it first. That way you can view the archived page if the original gets removed/deleted (which happens a lot).
Here are two archiving sites - both let you search for pages that have already been archived or upload new pages yourself. No login or anything just copy/paste the URL.

"feminism will never be taken seriously because I am jerking off to the mouth of scarjo as she tells me I need to respect women" this is exactly why feminism should be focused solely on women and girls and ways to improve their lives, instead of on trying to make men listen
i’m sick to death of seeing male cosmetic surgeons on social media with this “cunty” “gay best friend” personality, making jokes about being “snatched” and “skinni” knowing damn well they’re all fucking evil greedy misogynists.
i also regularly see them making jokes about their young female clients being with elderly and borderline abusive men. also jokes about “maybe a bbl will make you feel better”, “you aren’t ugly, you just need to get bread and come into my practice”

When one woman puts her experiences into words, another woman who has kept silent, afraid of what others will think, can find validation. And when the second woman says aloud, ‘yes, that was my experience too,’ the first woman loses some of her fear.
"The public censure of women as if we are rabid because we speak without apology about the world in which we live is a strategy of threat that usually works. Men often react to women’s words— speaking and writing— as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence. So we lower our voices. Women whisper. Women apologize. Women shut up. Women trivialize what we know. Women shrink. Women pull back. Most women have experienced enough dominance from men— control, violence, insult, contempt— that no threat seems empty."
hi!! ik this is off topic but if you’re comfortable, i was wondering if you would mind elaborating on how jkr has been misconstrued? i understand that some people don’t like her/don’t want to support hp because they disagree with her views on trans people but you’ve mentioned a couple times that she’s been misunderstood? i will be watching the show and spending money on hp regardless, as im pretty neutral on the whole thing, but would be curious to know more about what you’ve referred to in the interest of having a more balanced narrative.
i’m very excited for the show!!
Sidusuxjsuxjsj anonymous in all honesty I am probably not the best person to ask this but I’ll try to answer the best that I can. Also if you’re even more interested I highly recommend you check out @joannerowling and @beirarowling as their blogs are dedicated to JK Rowling and will have more of what you looking for. So feel free to check them out as well, again if you’re interested.
But to answer your question the reason why I personally believe and have said that she has been misconstrued is because she has. And it started with this tweet of hers:
Ever since she did this tweet it made the TRA activists and community so mad that they started to completely cancel her calling her transphobic and saying that she wants to kill trans people and this and this, along with so many other things and lies that they stated to spread about her which is so untrue. She has never been transphobic and has never wanted trans people’s rights or lives to be taken away. She’s only ever wanted Women and Children’s rights to be heard and the flaws regarding the TRA activists and community to also be heard.
Warning: The below content is not appropriate for children. Please check with an adult before you read this page. To go back to the children
She even wrote an essay explaining more of her reason for doing what she is doing. Which you can clearly tell she’s not transphobic nor does she want to kill them and take away their rights.
But again they didn’t even bother to understand what she is trying to say and claim she’s a monster and Hitler himself which is not true. Most people have even admitted that they never read this essay and that they just looked online to see what other people have said and believe the TRA activists and community for saying she was being transphobic and wanting to kill them and take away their rights even more from this essay.
And because people are so chronically online that they believe everything on the internet and don’t have common sense and think for themselves, and because TRA activists and community have taken over the internet and people believe and agree with them, or their afraid to get hate so they side with them to avoid anything, that’s why she has been misconstrued. That’s why there are so many lies that have spread about her, her work, and this show. That’s why people hate on her and Harry Potter now.
Now I want to end this by saying that I have nothing against the TRA Activists or community at all. I am a loving, accepting, and respectful person who believes that everyone should be who they chose to be and that everyone should have rights. But as a woman myself who sees the concerns in the TRA Activists and community who have been nothing but violent towards us biological real woman for wanting their rights and concerns to be heard. I never have nor will I ever agree with them at this point. That is why I am pro JK Rowling, that is why I agree with her and her opinions and the work she is doing, and that is why I believe she is being misconstrued.
Also it’s worth noting that I have had anonymous people tell me to die and have had bots that have tried to use my posts to say nasty things to me and others who have reblogged me. So that’s what also has made me pro Jk Rowling and believe even more that she is being misconstrued and hated on for no reason at all really. In a way it’s made me understand and relate to her even more.
I hope this answers your question anonymous. And again check out the blogs I mentioned and feel free to do your own research as well. I’m sure you’ll be surprised ! Xx
I think you've already done a fantastic job explaining how J.K. Rowling has been misconstrued! I can't believe we're going on six years of this now and still there are so many teabags who think she's pure evil. Here are her beliefs (from this tweet) that people who stand against her think she should be beaten, raped, killed, have her family/house bombed, have her books burned, etc. for:
Women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms
Women should retain female-only rape crisis centres
Men don't belong in women's sport
Female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders
Women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues
Language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context
Women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex
Women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights
Freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society
Troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit
Gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t
And when they whine about her 'supporting trans genocide' what they mean is she 100% funds Beira's Place on her own, a crisis center for women only, a single center that is female-only, a single center that women can be sure they will never come in contact with a man during a traumatic time in their lives. She also has started the J.K. Rowling's Women Fund which helps women protect their legal right to single-sex spaces.
Sexual violence support service for women across Edinburgh and the Lothians, offering practical and emotional help to women in a safe and su
A legal fighting fund for women protecting their sex-based rights
I used to keep receipts of their behavior (making HP theme graphics to try and trick them into reflecting on the violent things they say) but honestly had to stop because it was just too upsetting. You can see the posts here and here.
this is the core of why some women defend beauty standards - if they’re deconstructed even a little they have to face how much money/time they’ve sunk into them. it also exposes how untrue “i did it for myself” really is - if that was true, you wouldn’t be upset that other bodies are being uplifted
She wasted a shitton of money and a year of her life because she wanted to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. Now she's angry about people finding normal breasts of an adult woman attractive.
https://www.instagram.com/fluence.co/: They say 87% of non-human characters on children’s shows are male, so we looked at our favorite films as children and counted. In our estimates at Fluence, less than 9% of non-human characters from our favorite childhood shows were female.
But does that really matter? It turns out it does. In many Disney princess movies these side characters have a lot more speaking time than the main princess. Mushu speaks more than Mulan. Iago speaks more than Jasmine, etc.
And yes, Raja from Aladdin is a boy. The word raja literally means “prince”. Sorry to be the one to tell you.
We’re working on an IGTV episode all about Disney’s focus on male characters in Princess movies, but here are some sources if you want to get a jump on the reading for extra credit.

This has a huge impact on girls saying they aren’t girls because they’re “just a little guy.” Male is default. Male gets to be “just a little guy” while women get the eyelashes/bows added to standard (male) character designs. Or alternatively some nurturing figure.
