A strong piece, Britni.

Enjoyed the read, as always, and your format. Great subhead, too.

Thoroughly topical and well researched. Even your occasional, and intended, sweeping generalisations were well placed.

My view has always been that J K Rowling is a remarkable woman of our time. A shining example to others, women especially... but also to men.

I also believe there is considerably more respect, admiration and praise, on many levels, out there for J K Rowling, from men, than you imagine.

Yes, of course, we need more J K Rowlings.

I'm happy to stand and counter the hatred you describe, but unfortunately, I have no wealth or influence to be heard.

That is, other than to say, keep writing. Keep speaking your mind and continue to inspire others to do the same.
