The ability of reactionaries to reframe women of conscience as some kind of demon out to make everyone miserable really pisses me off.
Women's anger is something to be ridiculed, men's anger is something to be feared. People like that, who dismiss valid concerns, don't want to learn. Many women have internalized misogyny, for their part, and don't care about women's problems because they see those things as a part of life, to be dealt with. For their part, many men just don't get what women face, how women have live their lives.
The key takeaway here is that for Death of the Author to apply, the author must actually be dead.
Rowling's done so much messed up stuff. I find it so interesting how Rowling talks about the violence that cis women face, and then doesn't care about the violence that trans women face. It just shows that this isn't just "defending women" or whatever she says. I genuinely do not know how someone could have so much hate for trans people.
or indeed any kind of cop is an okay thing to be, you're right
I disagree on this point. I do not think cops are inherently bad, and I do think we need police. Of course, there needs to be regulation and oversight, and a mandatory body cam law.
