A fascinating analysis of the vast discrepancy between Rowling the artist and Rowling the self-pitying feminist ideologue. "Monstrous arrogance" indeed. I wonder if she ever slapped her ex-husband? To deprive a father of the opportunity to know his daughter, and vice versa, is far worse than a slap, but as you note, it doesn't even register with her legions of supporters. Thanks for the heads up about your friend Kate's interesting book.

It has been this way for decades as you point out Bettina. A woman can literally take the child of her union with a man and run off to another country and he will be branded a stalker and lunatic for having the temerity to try to make contact with his flesh and blood and angry denunciations for daring to respond emotionally to the idea he will never see his daughter again..

Rowling has the nerve to suggest women have no voice in our society when female voices are all we ever hear when it comes to any subject outside of footy and that's rapidly changing. I always knew she was a rabid feminist and man hater, so I felt very little sympathy when she took on the trans activists. They can destroy each other for all I care.
