The recent rapid advance of the Right in the Culture War can be ascribed to numerous factors — liberal insanity, oppressive wokeness, indoctrinating yet ignorant entertainment, the rescue of free speech by Elon Musk, and a dynamic, unstoppable Republican leader. The Left hit Trump with everything it had — volley after volley from its political, media, and (unfunny) comedic champions, and finally a bullet to the head. When the smoke cleared, Trump was still standing with fist raised, and conservatives took the cultural battleground. For they had a secret weapon against the batshite crazy women in charge of the other side — smarter normal women, who not only drove progressives of “all genders” back, but off the deep end.
But last week, Rowling utterly lacerated her fellow British artist, Boy George, in a long, lethal tweet.
The most dramatic evidence of this was the phony liberal uproar over the forcible ejection of California Senator (party ID redundant) Alex Padilla from a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem is everything the feminist mind hates — a beautiful, intelligent, tough yet glamorous MAGA leader, who’s doing serious damage to the master plan of a permanent Dem majority via the overwhelming immigrant vote. The hard-to-recognize, physically large Padilla started shouting questions at Noem, and was shoved out of the chamber by Secret Service. Professional Democratic wailers immediately tried to make a big production out of the event (“This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history,” tweeted Elizabeth Warren), indicating they’ve even lost the field they once dominated — showmanship.
And the inadvertent comedy continued, further evincing the madness of Democrats. After a Homeland Security X post formally analyzed the disruption (“Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself … as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.”), the ridiculous Alexander Vindman went hysterically berserk. “How about this for disrespect. F___k off! @Sec_Noem@KristiNoem f___k off you fascist bitch!!” he tweeted. Yes, a pretty, strong conservative girl like Noem would have that effect on feminists, and their beta men like Vindman.
Across the Pond in England, the original transgender icon, Boy George (Karma Chameleon), suffered a sound thrashing from the most successful writer, male or female, of all time, J. K. Rowling. I never read the Harry Potter books but loved the fact they got millions of young people to read and stimulated their imagination. I do thoroughly enjoy Rowling’s adult Cormoran Strike mysteries about a hardboiled private eye and his lovely partner, and their perennial missed opportunities for romance. Though the latest book, The Running Grave, ended with a great romantic cliffhanger that made me preorder the next one.
Yet as good as Rowling’s fiction is, her writings on X skewering transgender pathology are a master class in rapier-like wit and effectiveness. Relentlessly attacked for defending real women from fake women — including by Harry Potter movie actors Daniel Radcliffe (“Transgender women are women.”) and Emma Watson (“Trans people are who they say they are”), who owe her their career — Rowling never loses her class or mind like the Left does. To someone who threatened to burn her books in protest, she replied, “I get the same royalties whether you read them or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows!”
But last week, Rowling utterly lacerated her fellow British artist, Boy George, in a long, lethal tweet. George was responding to her rhetorical question on the trans issue, “Which rights have been taken away from trans people?” “The right to be left alone by a rich bored bully,” tweeted George, in what could be the last tweet he’ll ever send after Rowling finished with him.
There are many differences between us, George …
- You’re a man and I’m a woman.
- You’ve been wealthy and famous since your early 20s. I didn’t become well known until I was well over 30.
- I’ve never been given 15 months for handcuffing a man to a wall and beating him with a chain.
- I believe in freedom of speech and belief.
For more than half my life I was a regular anonymous person. Some of those years were spent in poverty. That’s why I understand the importance of single-sex spaces for women who’re reliant on state-funded services. That’s why I have a problem with men ‘identifying’ into women’s rape crisis centres, domestic abuse and homeless shelters that are supposed to be single sex. I don’t stand against gender identity ideology because I personally still need those services, but because my life has taught me exactly how vulnerable women are when they don’t have the money/influence I have now.
You yourself have been convicted of violent assault. The overwhelming number of people who commit crimes of violence are male, just like you. That’s why I don’t want to see men identifying into women’s prison cells or any of the spaces mentioned above …
Lastly, I’m a writer who believes in freedom of speech and belief. As we both know the safe, fashionable thing in the arts world right now is to do exactly what you’re doing: … sneer at the unenlightened plebs who think sex is important and matters. For a man who was once all about nonconformity, George, you couldn’t have become more predictably or more tediously conformist.
Another brilliant woman impressed me last week — my conversative rising star friend Natalie Jean Beisner, who identifies on X as “former Democrat turned sane person.” Natalie posited an intriguing idea about the madwomen of the Left. “I’d gladly give up my vote if it meant liberal women not voting. I only vote now because you guys let the retarded ones (of both genders) vote, so I have to try to cancel that out.”
After giving it much thought, I decided to endorse the Voteress Subtraction Movement.
