Disclaimer first: I believe unequivocally that any government with its people’s interests at heart would run its finances in such a way that it would be impossible to become ‘super rich’.

That said, two statistics stick in my mind. Number One: J K Rowling is, as far as I know, the only billionaire who’s ever managed to put enough money and effort into social projects to actually stop being a billionaire. (The money came back — once you’re there, you’d have to be very silly to lose everything). Number Two: Dolly Parton is, as far as I know, the only education-related philanthropist to have done enough work to visibly raise the literacy figures in her home state.

It’s tempting to say that only women should be allowed to be billionaires, but that would be silly — I mean, there’s Michelle Mone, weighing down the other side of the scales.

Disclaimer again: I’m not really a JKR ‘fan’ in the superficial sense. I think her politics – and sometimes her plots – are full of holes, but she’s phenomenally successful because she’s clever, she works hard and she thinks hard — some people really don’t seem to like that. By contrast, I most certainly have no time for the likes of Michelle Mone — or Kemi Badenoch come to that — but I am a feminist, and sisterhood is sisterhood. I note that the list of the scurrilous rich who became vastly richer during COVID is overwhelmingly male — Elon Musk holds the record, I believe — so it’s incredible how much of the backlash against the super-rich is directed at older women. If you still don’t believe our society is fundamentally misogynist, have a think on that.

If you have a talent for critical thinking, you’re probably noticed already that gender ideology is both sexist and ageist. For anyone who’s not got there yet, consider that pillar of privileged self-regard, Ash Sarkar, calmly tweeting to her following that they were going to win against the women’s rights campaigners “because we are younger than them”. Quite astonishing when I think about the number of vociferous debunkers of gender cult nonsense I know who are under sixteen. Just how young does Sarkar think she is?

It’s the job of the establishment media to grandstand conventional exceptions as though they were the norm so it’s not surprising to see the establishment’s faux-left clarion flagging up Baroness Hale….

… but it’s refreshing to see a male calling out the nonsense on TwitX – there are no shortage of gender critical men you know, although the gender cultists probably think there’s something wrong with all of them – you know, they tend to be gay, or Irish, or (yeukh!) old.

Other than those who have glaring faults like looking, sounding or living wrong though, men tend not to get hounded the way women do. There is no male equivalent of the label ‘TERF’ (trans exclusionary radical feminist). It’s been made quite clear that it’s old feminists who are to blame for everything. Trans activists do so like to see themselves as young, trendy and 150% virtuously right. As one commentator put it, anyone would think the gender cult have ‘mummy issues’.

Today, to put the cherry on the cake, we saw the Daily Mail of woke queerhood, Pink News announce that they find the latest example of J K R’s long-established, consistent support of vulnerable women and children ‘sinister’. Yeukh! Old, rich women using their money to support women who, in spite of the Supreme Court ruling still find themselves in court trying to defend their legal rights – how sinister!

Trans activists are just desperate for kids to stop liking Harry Potter — have been for years. There’s no getting away from it. The gender cult is an ageist, sexist, men’s rights movement.

Fortunately, hundreds of thousands of women found each other via the women’s rights movement and, along the way, we have learned just how much society hates older women. What the likes of Jo Maugham are really in a frothing fury about now, if they could but see it, is that we don’t care how old (or young) we are, because we have found each other, and despite the struggle, despite the grief for those who’ve been battered and misdirected by the gender cult, despite the vast amount of work there is still to do to put things right for women and girls, we’re having more fun than they are.

I didn’t post the celebrations at the Supreme Court vid at first, as some nice lefties I know had me persuaded that celebrating our victory was distasteful but then I remembered this, and recovered my feminism….

Way to go sisters! See you at the WLA launch, or at FiLiA in October, or in one of those sinister women’s meetings we keep having all over the country.
