In case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.

Is there a DEI intervention that can get white heterosexual middle class men to do actual work?

The duo managed to stigmatize old and neurodivergent people, just by being themselves. Let’s not blame their demography for who they actually are: two fascists spiralling out of control with hate.

Thank you.
