Thank you. I really wanted to say all that but I should’ve been asleep hours ago & I just couldn’t summon the will.

What about people who've raped being on a jury? There's far more of them who've not been caught than have been convicted.

Her times don’t come remotely close to the poorest of the male athletes so that’s nonsense

Exactly! And as a Scottish (arguably British) woman, I watched that group hug and felt so shit for Semenya, reaching out to commiserate with them. And I couldn’t help noticing they were all white and whether or not that’s relevant, it just looked dreadful. Black women & their bodies are so subjected to misogyny even…

In Rio, Dutee Chand (the athlete who actually won the case preventing those hyper-androgynous women from being forced to take testosterone-reducing meds) came 50th of 64 women competing in the 100m.

I actually think he’s being utterly reasonable & that, on this occasion, the “putz” is Ms. Rowling!

Tbf, she was writing novels & had no idea how successful they'd become. Art doesn't need to be realistic or to respect religions- it's nice if it does but artists should have freedom to create whatever, unless it involves harming people.

It depends what you want. If he's happy with a fairly static, niche business with no interest in huge growth, it might be right for him.

Sadly, I think she understands it only too well. I used to have a lot of respect for her (and I still love her books) but, on Twitter at least, she isn't averse to a bit of bullying.

No, it’s not just you.

And yet Berlusconi remains at large...

Except....she actually lived there.

As a Scot who loves Zambia, I’d like to point out I’ve never heard of Ms. Linton.

THANK YOU! I’ve been shouting that out loud (well, in my head) since I started reading this crap.

Sorry, Johnny; you need to sort yourself out before I’d consider getting with you now.

I kinna like a man in eyeliner.

Maybe the paperwork was done & processed before the death? No idea how it works in the States, just a thought.
