@TheSunnahGuy Hate to tell you this but women are the best multitaskers, they can think about marriage and study/work AT THE SAME TIME. What you’re actually saying is that low value men will have a smaller pool of women that they can attract. At least be honest.

@emmacpicken @wesstreeting @UKLabour Interesting that you pick up on this and get outraged by this instead of the fact that her home and hundreds have been destroyed not to mention children and civilians who have died at the hands of the Israeli government. Can we agree it's because they're Palestinian?

@nicolelampert @betdaqsports Nicole - If you don’t know how Israel has treated Palestinians in the last 70 years then you need to learn and re-educate yourself. If you condone the murder of hundreds of civilians and children then you need to take a good look in the mirror. Hope you’re pleased with yourself.

This is incredibly irresponsible of Rowling. She was born female and grew up as a girl/woman. She looks different because she has higher testosterone levels than most women. It doesn’t make her a man. So offensive, just because she doesn’t fit your beauty standard.

@MaajidNawaz @Anna_Soubry @SayeedaWarsi When Muslims say ‘Islamaphobia’ we mean anti-Muslim hatred. Why is that so hard to understand? Maybe it’s time to change the terminology because racists and bigots think it’s ok to be ‘islamaphobic’ because they think it’s a criticism of islam and not Muslims.
