That a small minority of woman wanted to vote and was thus given to to them for ulterior motives while the majority couldn’t give a rats ass about the complicated; often corrupt precedings of parliamentary Liberal “democracy”

>>21614229
Did she really post that

>>21614229
I don't do twitter. What controversial things has rowling said to receive hate from trans people?

>>21614356
The last time I asked what she is actively doing to harm trans people I was told "she donates to women's shelters that exclude trans women"

that is hilarious

>>21614229
any bets on when she starts noticing and naming/

can someone explain this to me in a few sentences or less? because i don't understand any of this transgender shit.

jkr is a feminist and correctly understands that "trans rights" degrade women's rights, mostly by erasing women
TERF stands for trans exclusionary radical feminist which is a derogatory term that trannies call feminists like jkr

>>21614547
Terf refers to someone who is a hard feminist but who also denies that trannies are real women.
What's she's saying in effect is that trannies (i.e. men) are trying to silence real women, again.

thanks anons

>>21614547
Men turning themselves into women are ruining her "hurr men have it so good, women have it so bad" argument.

>>21614512
Why does she have to criticize the transgender phenomenon in the most pathetic way possible? Crying over fucking twitter anime memes?

Not literature.

the war between various groups of people to claim who's most oppressed is just hilarious to watch. however in the end it's always white males' fault.

>Not wishing to overload this long essay with too many parentheses, apart from its thesis of progress and precedent, I append here three notes on points of detail that may possibly be misunderstood.
>The first refers to the female controversy. It may seem to many that I dismiss too curtly the contention that all women should have votes, even if most women do not desire them. It is constantly said in this connection that males have received the vote (the agricultural laborers for instance) when only a minority of them were in favor of it. Mr. Galsworthy, one of the few fine fighting intellects of our time, has talked this language in the “Nation.” Now, broadly, I have only to answer here, as everywhere in this book, that history is not a toboggan slide, but a road to be reconsidered and even retraced. If we really forced General Elections upon free laborers who definitely disliked General Elections, then it was a thoroughly undemocratic thing to do; if we are democrats we ought to undo it. We want the will of the people, not the votes of the people; and to give a man a vote against his will is to make voting more valuable than the democracy it declares.
>But this analogy is false, for a plain and particular reason. Many voteless women regard a vote as unwomanly. Nobody says that most voteless men regarded a vote as unmanly. Nobody says that any voteless men regarded it as unmanly. Not in the stillest hamlet or the most stagnant fen could you find a yokel or a tramp who thought he lost his sexual dignity by being part of a political mob. If he did not care about a vote it was solely because he did not know about a vote; he did not understand the word any better than Bimetallism. His opposition, if it existed, was merely negative. His indifference to a vote was really indifference.
>But the female sentiment against the franchise, whatever its size, is positive. It is not negative; it is by no means indifferent. Such women as are opposed to the change regard it (rightly or wrongly) as unfeminine. That is, as insulting certain affirmative traditions to which they are attached. You may think such a view prejudiced; but I violently deny that any democrat has a right to override such prejudices, if they are popular and positive. Thus he would not have a right to make millions of Moslems vote with a cross if they had a prejudice in favor of voting with a crescent. Unless this is admitted, democracy is a farce we need scarcely keep up. If it is admitted, the Suffragists have not merely to awaken an indifferent, but to convert a hostile majority.

bro is this real

what fresh hell am i living in

basically her stance is that womanhood is not a "feeling" or costume for men to don

>>21614356
she donated money to a women's shelter.
not even kidding. trannies took it as a personal attack on them and lost their minds.

>>21614576
>trying to silence real women, again.
basically. i go on 2x and half the posts are from trannies begging for validation. the irony of the sub title eludes them. anywhere women gather to talk about women's issues, trannies invade and redirect everyone's attention to their fetishes and pus-seeping stinkditch.

>when people accuse you of being a TERF but you don't like women either

>>21616211
respond that you're a farmer

>>21616211
>when you are bantering with your TERF gf about trannies and you accidentally make a joke that is a little too nigel for her and she calls you a moid and threatens to kill all men

I hate all people who believe themselves to be women, whether they're really women or not.
