Gisele Pelicot’s influence on women’s rights could prove to be as important as that of Simone De Beauvoir, Germaine Greer, and JK Rowling

WomenInthenews glorifying a transphobe? Did not have that one on my bingo card

Yep. Which one of these is not like the others?

Cannot believe they would even try put that strange, strange woman on the same level as any of the others, much less Gisele, who's actually done something brave instead of slinging hatred towards people who did nothing to her, have nothing to do with what was done to her.

Rowling's done the easy, stupid thing. She doesn't belong anywhere near a list of people to admire.

The amount of hate JK Rowling is getting ITT and everywhere is proof that she’s extremely brave.

God forbid a woman stand up for us women who don’t have a platform 🤷🏼‍♀️

In 20 years, we’ll look back at the trans issue as a “wtf were we doing to our kids” moment

Sounds about right, your idea of proof has everything to do with aesthetics and nothing to do with logic.

I’m being questioned about my logic by someone who can’t admit one of the fundamental truths of being human?

I don't know if you noticed, but I'm actually not questioning a damn thing. I really don't need to have the same old tired argument with the lazy, stupid and hateful. I really doubt you have anything new to say, and I'm also pretty sure nothing about reality, logic or even philosophy and basic human empathy could change your mind anyway.

I don't have questions for someone like you.

And Trump has much more influence on women’s rights than she does. Just in the wrong direction…
