I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.
I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.
Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.
However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.
When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.
The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.
Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?
I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.
The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.
Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

Bennet ist 13 Jahre alt.
Aktuell traut er sich nicht mehr in die Schule. Er ist zu Hause, hat immer noch Schmerzen, verlässt das Grundstück nicht mehr.
Aus Angst vor den Schlägern, aus Angst vor Mohammed A., einem syrischen Mitschüler.
Dieser hat ihn zusammen mit anderen "Kindern" übel zusammengeschlagen, wohl aus einem nichtigen, erfundenen "Grund":
Die Mutter: "Er beschuldigte meinen Sohn grundlos, seine Mutter beleidigt zu haben. Danach prügelte er plötzlich los – auf Bennets Kopf, Schläfen. Er trat ihm in die Rippen, brachte ihn zu Boden, würgte ihn am Hals. Als sich Bennet aufrappelte, zwang ihn der andere auf die Knie."
Alles wurde zudem gefilmt, via Snapchat verbreitet.
Im Krankenhaus werden Bennets Verletzungen dokumentiert: Schädelprellung, Gehirnerschütterung, Würgemale am Hals, eine Rippenprellung.
Die Konsequenzen für den 13 Jahre alten Syrer, der schon vorher einschlägig aufgefallen war: ein Jahr Verweis von der Schule.
Der Schläger treibt sein Unwesen nun an einer anderen Schule, macht dort genauso weiter, wie die Mutter berichtet.
Ob und wann Bennet wieder zur Schule geht, ist offen. Die psychischen Schäden dürften deutlich sein, die Angst wird erstmal bleiben.
Dem syrischen Täter passiert wie so oft nichts.
Er ist ja noch ein Kind...
Dude...
New 30 km/h area speed limit signs will be posted at neighbourhood entry and exit points. Once you enter a signed area, the 30 km/h speed limit applies throughout the local road network until you leave that area.
Slower speeds help reduce the risk of serious collisions and make neighbourhood streets safer.

The Nuclear Family is a Technology of Western Civilization – So It Needs to Be Destroyed With All the Others.
The nuclear family is not a natural unit. It is a technology – the most successful child-rearing, wealth-transmitting, civilization-building technology ever developed. And like every other Western technology that works, it is currently being systematically dismantled.
1. Every society in history has organized reproduction and child-rearing somehow. The Eastern clan, the tribe, the loyalty network – these are the alternatives. They work, up to a point, for the societies that run on them. They produce strong internal solidarity and fierce external competition. They also produce nepotism over meritocracy, loyalty over competence, the network over the individual. Low-trust societies stay small and family-based – unable to build the large institutions, the corporations, the rule of law that require trust between strangers. The nuclear family is the Western solution: small enough to invest maximally in children, open enough to produce citizens who can cooperate beyond the clan.
2. It is a technology in the precise sense: a solution to a problem, developed through trial and error over millennia, encoding accumulated wisdom that is not immediately visible to those who inherit it. It aligned incentives with extraordinary precision – the man invested in children he was certain were his, the woman had a committed partner for the most vulnerable years, the children had two adults with maximum skin in the game. And crucially: it introduced a free market for mating rather than arranged marriage. Individuals chose their partners – which meant attraction, compatibility, and genuine commitment rather than clan negotiation. The most intimate human bond brought into the competitive, meritocratic framework that produces everything else the West does well.
3. The attack follows the standard pattern. Reframe the technology as oppression. Celebrate the alternatives as liberation. Restructure the incentives – welfare systems that replace the husband, legal systems that make marriage a liability for men, cultural systems that mock the committed father. Then watch the institution dissolve.
4. The data is not ambiguous. Children raised by married biological parents outperform children from every other arrangement on every measurable outcome. This is one of the largest and most replicated findings in social science. The nuclear family is not one lifestyle choice among many equivalent options. It is the arrangement that produces the best human beings at scale. Which is precisely why it had to go.
5. The deepest damage is not measurable. The nuclear family was the primary transmission mechanism of civilization – values, habits, language, culture, and identity passed from one generation to the next in the most intensive possible environment. Destroy this transmission mechanism and you don’t just produce worse outcomes for individuals. You break the chain. The torch cannot change hands if the hands are gone.
6. The replacement is the state. When the family dissolves, the state expands to fill the functions the family performed. This is not a coincidence. It is the design. Tocqueville described it: the soft despotism that replaces every horizontal bond with a vertical dependency on the government shepherd. The nuclear family was the primary horizontal bond. Its dissolution is the prerequisite for the complete vertical dependency the administrative state requires.
7. The nuclear family is not a conservative preference or a religious requirement. Defend it not because it is traditional. Defend it because it works – and because what is offered in its place doesn’t. The clan and the tribe produce loyalty. The administrative state produces dependency. The nuclear family, with its free market for mating and its maximum investment in the next generation, produces citizens. That is the one thing the system replacing it cannot afford to produce.

"This paper theorizes that one future pedagogical priority of women’s studies is to train students not only to master a body of knowledge but also to serve as symbolic “viruses” that infect, unsettle, and disrupt traditional and entrenched fields...we frame two new priorities for women’s studies—training male students as viruses and embracing “negative” stereotypes of feminist professors—as important future directions for the potentially liberatory aspects of the field."

The good thing about a society having standard expectations of you is answering the “why” of your life is a painful and difficult exercise even for intelligent and self aware individuals. For the avg person it’s basically impossible.
Motherhood is a good expectation. It’s inline with your biology, there is that mothering instinct in there. It makes you think outside yourself, an external goal another thing to care about beyond the self. This alone is very difficult to achieve and helps one become more community minded. It also gives one a template from falling into terrible life choices due to being unable to foresee negative consequences.
These templates aren’t rigid, they’re not law. They exist to help shape people, not break them. They’re there to force you to come up with a reason why you should take a different path. Maybe you want to heal the sick, or fight for justice, or explore space, sure become a doctor or lawyer or scientist. There are expectations to every template, but most aren’t.
If your goal is simply material comfort, one has to ask why is your life’s ambition so inwardly focused? Is it fair to all those that came before that you set down the torch they carried? Do you really just want to be cozy for a few decades then die? Are you the only thing that matters?
Our culture has both promoted the abolishment of the old templates and has given no thought to these important questions. The overwhelming cultural attitude of “vibes” or “go with the flow” is leading a lot of people to disaster.

Fun fact: The "dumb blonde" moniker was created by Jews, and weaponized through media & entertainment channels tracing all the way back to 19th century plays.
By the 1950s, Jewish Hollywood had cemented blondes as vapid sex objects. Moguls like Billy Wilder (✡️) deliberately cast blonde actresses like Marilyn Monroe into dumb, airheaded roles to subvert the traditional blonde archetype of intelligence and purity (blondes in fact have the HIGHEST average IQ [103], when measured against other hair colors).
The trope was never about reality; it was a smear campaign to deteriorate the self-worth of White blondes, especially women.
Rosenblum, eh?
Folks (guys and gals), don't be psyopped by this article. You don't have unlimited time. You need to be moving. Don't put off life. Don't look at Anne Hathaway getting pregnant at 43 and think "Oh, ok I'll be fine." It's a psyop. You'll have massive regret if you squander your youth with hedonism and selfish BS and then try to scramble to have a real life later. Don't be deceived by lies.
