I have a newfound respect for Harry Potter’s creator J.K. Rowling, who isn’t afriad to call out people on her own side for being rude to women. Here’s what happened:
Just unfollowed a man whom I thought was smart and funny, because he called Theresa May a whore. 1/14

followed by:
If you can’t disagree with a woman without reaching for all those filthy old insults, screw you and your politics. 2/14
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 9, 2017
She’s totally right, an even extended her criticism to other women in the political world.
I don’t care whether we’re talking about Theresa May or Nicola Sturgeon or Kate Hooey or Yvette Cooper or Hillary Clinton: 11/14

Here’s a question posed by M.J. Randolph over on Truth Revolt:
But what the way liberal men treated Sarah Palin? Rarely in politics has a woman ever been treated more poorly that the former Governor of Alaska, and liberals were completely mum on the abuse liberal men heaped on her.
I saw it first hand, and I agree. But it’s time that liberals to have a collective repentance for their treatment of my mom. If liberals are really against sexism, they need to say so. It’s time.
