Anything missing?
No mention of women.
So naturally he knows what JK Rowling should be talking about better than JK Rowling does.
Women are in fact allowed to talk about issues and policies that affect women.

To quote someone on Twitter/X (whom I can’t remember), “Pronouns in bio: opinion worthless”
1. Just like a man. Bossily telling a wan what to do. Hence the need for feminism.
2. Has he been living under a rock? Rowling has done tons of worthwhile work: opened shelters where women’s resources have been stripped away from women, and provided support for women who were unlawfully discriminated against and punished, fired, etc., for having the temerity to know that men are not women.
3. People are allowed to work on more than one issue at once. Look at you: pro-Gaza and anti- woman at the same time!
I don’t know what happened to “woman” in line 1. Oops!
I do love yet another man telling women what they can care about. I guess he is at least permitting JKR (and by extension other women) to care about women and girls, so long as they are waaaaaay over there. In a different country, a different society, facing challenges and threats women in the UK are not; and that cannot be easily translated or compared to the threats and issues facing women in the UK. That approach is neither new nor an accident. men, even progressive and left-leaning g men, don’t want to be forced to consider, let alone address, issues important to women in their own society. Understandable, given it must be very uncomfortable and create much dissonance when your own shitty behaviour is spotlighted.
I think that what happened, maddog, was that whatever you were typing on comes from Co. Cork in Ireland, and decided that it preferred to use the local dialect word for woman.
I agree with you both, maddog and Rob. Most people don’t want to deal with the work involved in improving their own society for other people, and it’s easier to pretend that they shouldn’t have to, if they can point to an entirely different problem for which they have no responsibility.
I noticed that Sheridan failed to mention the lawyers rescued from Afghanistan by JKR. That wouldn’t suit his agenda at all.
