JK Rowling, known worldwide as the author of the magical world of Harry Potter, published on twitter (@jk_rowling) "13 commandments" against sexist insults and extreme male attitudes towards women's actions: "Femininity is not a manufacturing defect", said the Scottish writer, a staunch enemy of the British Conservatives and the Brexit, to come out in defense of British Prime Minister Theresa May.
Following the outcome of the last elections in the United Kingdom, Rowling witnessed the misogynist insults of May, much of which was written by progressive men.
The author of the Harry Potter saga repudiated the hypocrisy of those who resort to male attacks to intimidate women in both the real and the digital realm. "I do not care if we talk about Theresa May, Nicola Sturgeon, Kate Hooey, Yvette Cooper or Hillary Clinton: femininity is not a manufacturing flaw," he said.
Through 13 tweets recited by hundreds of thousands of users, the writer clarified that there is no political motive to justify sexist harassment in any case. We share the six main ones:
1. "I just stopped following a man who thought intelligent and funny because he called Theresa May a whore. If you can not disagree with a woman without using those dirty old insults, give yourself and your policies. "
2. "I'm tired of 'progressive' men who drop their faces every time a woman dislikes them, using immoderate and humiliating words associated with femininity, acting like old school misogynists, and proud to believe Brave ".
3. "When you act like this, Mr. Progre Guay, you ally, whether you like it or not, with men who send violent pornographic images and threats of rape, those who try by all means to intimidate women beyond politics and public spaces, both in the real world and digital. "
4. "Bitch'', 'slut', and of course, 'rape'. We are too ugly to be raped, or we need to be raped, or we need to be raped and killed. "
5. "All the women I know and who have dared to publicly express their opinion have endured this type of abuse at least once, apparently rooted in the determination to humiliate or intimidate them for being a woman."
6. "I do not care if we're talking about Theresa May, Nicola Sturgeon, Kate Hooey, Yvette Cooper or Hillary Clinton: femininity is not a manufacturing flaw. If the immediate response to a woman you dislike is to call her a synonym of her vulva or compare her to a prostitute, assume it: you are not progressive. You are a few steps away from those who hide behind a frog of drawings (in reference to Pepe, the symbol of the extreme right). "
