Another day,Randy Spears Archives another scorching tweet from Harry Potterauthor J.K. Rowling.
This time Rowling took on the all-too-familiar scene of a man degrading a woman whose politics or beliefs he doesn't like.

That was enough for Rowling to unfollow the culprit, and spend 14 withering tweets explaining why, "If you can’t disagree with a woman without reaching for all those filthy old insults," you've failed at upholding liberal values.
"[F]emaleness is not a design flaw," she wrote. "If your immediate response to a woman who displeases you is to call her a synonym for her vulva, or compare her to a prostitute, then drop the pretence and own it: you’re not a liberal. You’re a few short steps away from some guy hiding behind a cartoon frog."
Preach, J.K., preach.
If you can’t disagree with a woman without reaching for all those filthy old insults, screw you and your politics. 2/14

When you do this, Mr Liberal Cool Guy, you ally yourself, wittingly or not, with the men who send women violent pornographic images 5/14

‘Cunt’, ‘whore’ and, naturally, rape. We’re too ugly to rape, or we need raping, or we need raping and killing. 7/14

Every woman I know who has dared express an opinion publically has endured this kind of abuse at least once, 8/14

If you want to know how much fouler it gets if you also happen to be black or gay, ask Diane Abbot or Ruth Davidson. 10/14
