J.K. Rowling ✔@jk_rowling
.@diegtristan8 "she is built like a man". Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot.

Good on JK Rowling! That person is indeed an idiot!

1. Just disgusting how people can't stand

Women, especially women of color, being so successful.

[cui bono]

2. +1

[McCamy Taylor]

15. They can't stand women who are not stick figures with silicone breasts tacked on.

3. Jeez, is Serena ever a superhero in motion!

Daunting, yes - but wow, such beauty.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. good

[Logical]

5. LOL, perfect response. I think Serena is beautiful! And amazing. Now cheering for Roger tomorrow!! n

[Lucky Luciano]

7. I think that thus picture will shut down any "built like a man" comments more than Rowling's comment

Good for Rowling nonetheless!

8. Rowling included 1000+ words in her original tweet

Her tweet included these images:

9. Serena is built like a man?

Not any man that I know.

Those high heels worry me, though. I don't know how anyone can walk in them.

But she looks fabulous. And very feminine.

10. A strong woman

scares republicans. They throw the same hatred at FLOTUS. Both women are beauties, they just don't jive with the mysoginistic idea of beauty- ie blond hair, blue eyed, scrawny butt trollops.

14. See? Goddess!

17. "Red beans and rice didn't miss her!"

11. Thank you JK

As someone who has been told that very thing when I was a teen, and other, worse, things as I got older simply because I was not 'delicate', I would like to tell that idiot to eff off.

We need to stop judging people on their body type. It means nothing.

[Jamaal510]

12. That beatdown was 100% justified.

People act as if there is only one standard of being masculine or feminine. Who is that guy to judge what being "built like a man" means? There are plenty of tall and/or athletic women out there, as well as men who have a small and less athletic physique. I personally find Serena to be attractive.

[McCamy Taylor]

13. Serena is a goddess!

[Triana]

16. That's What I said...

Venus and Serena Williams are GODDESSES. Black. Beautiful. Powerful. Graceful.

Damn right.

[me b zola]

18. I think that Serena has the ideal body for a woman

So sick of the waif look. Give me the Goddess look any day.

[DirkGently]

20. Serena's strong. Bothers people for some reason.

I love Rowling's public voice as much as her books. More, probably.

[ladyVet]

21. Even if she did "look like a man" (which she doesn't), whose business is it anyway but hers?

J K Rowling is known for not suffering fools lightly. Good on her.

[progressoid]

22. And so what if she (or any woman) is "built like a man"? Or vice versa?

Like Grace,



Or Katherine,




Or...

[immoderate]

23. Or...?
