The modern connotation of "rape" as purely sexual violation is very recent.

However, the use of it to require penetration, and it had to be penis-in-vagina, is historical, as are the ancient elements of rape, requiring that the female had to have been previously chaste and not married to the penetrator, and had to have resisted and had her resistance overcome (not all places had all these archaic requirements).

Sodomy of any sort was already illegal, involuntary sodomy even more so, and a lot of the not specifically "rape" activities were also criminalized.

The more recent use of phrases like "sexual assault" and legal definitions like this are to avoid the connotations in common law (and subsequent codified law) that "rape" had until fairly recently, with SA generally meaning any forced or coerced sexual activities of any kind for whatever reason.

This isn't universal and there are still laws and offenses with "rape" in them (the common law definitions are mostly abolished), but at least colloquially, most people accept forcing sexual contact onto people of whatever sort is "rape," whatever the law may call it.

This isn't a recent invention, though, to cover up nonsense, like troonery, but a way of discarding nonsense from the past.

That's my whole point. This particular diversion started with someone trying to pull the semantics game after a female character was described as raping a male character, so I just played it back harder.
 
Why didn’t she tweet about the troon that shot up the Catholic school in Minnesota she seemed to be worried about women in afghanistan while little girls in scotland have to carry knife to defend themselves from creeps

You could apply to be her publicist and tweet for her so she can spend more time drinking champagne and smoking cigarillos.
 
She’s busy pointing out the obvious link between Queer Theory and horrific sex pests.

That guy above told me it was her publicist that is tweeting lol and that tweet of her is quite ironic since she supported refugees that come and rape women in her country

Immigration isn't her area of concern, for whatever reason, but I am surprised she hasn't commented on the troon shooter. That one seems like a slam dunk for her argument, even if it isn't a Bri'ish happening. Perhaps she's trying to be tasteful by not immediately weaponizing a tragedy.

She tweeted this https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/639434012772159488 10 years ago

She tweeted about the olympics situation with the ugly algerian troon as soon as it happened I am also wondering why she hadn't tweeted about the shooting and not some retarded answer like she is too busy drinking mimosas in her dungeon

Imane Kelif is not a troon and she never called him trans. It was a completely different case. And I doubt she commented on any trans shooter before, especially when there are children amongst the victims. It's just in bad taste.

Stimulants, especially medium-high concentration versions of amphetamines, make people feel more “switched on” and alert.
Plus they do improve reaction time, hence why a lot of truckers do them not just to stay awake but to be able to swerve if they see a kid in the road/unexpected car.
Plus kids who use adhd meds to cram for studying or to get through an exam often do perform better.

The potion in the book gives him confidence though, not focus. I think the MDMA guy might be right.

Didn't Harry fake pouring the luck potion into Ron's drink? The point was that Ron needed confidence in himself to succeed. He had the skills, he just needed to believe in himself. Thinking he had luck on his side made him relax and ace his exams.

Yes, but it wasn't for exams. Ron had been playing terribly in Quidditch matches and Harry thinks it's because of his lack of confidence, since in private he plays great. He pretends to pour the potion in Ron's breakfast drink, Hermione sees it and, because of her reaction, Ron thinks Harry really did do it. Hermione calls Harry out after the match, and Harry shows them it was just a trick:

Ron and Harry were the last two in the changing room. They were just about to leave when Hermione entered. She was twisting her Gryffindor scarf in her hands and looked upset but determined.
“I want a word with you, Harry.” She took a deep breath. You shouldn’t have done it. You heard Slughorn, it’s illegal.”
“What are you going to do, turn us in?” demanded Ron.
“What are you two talking about?” asked Harry, turning away to hang up his robes so that neither of them would see him grinning.
“You know perfectly well what we’re talking about!” said Hermione shrilly. “You spiked Ron’s juice with lucky potion at breakfast! Felix Felicis!”
“No, I didn’t,” said Harry, turning back to face them both.
“Yes you did, Harry, and that’s why everything went right, there were Slytherin players missing and Ron saved everything!”
“I didn’t put it in!” said Harry, grinning broadly. He slipped his hand inside his jacket pocket and drew out the tiny bottle that Hermione had seen in his hand that morning. It was full of golden potion and the cork was still tightly sealed with wax. “I wanted Ron to think I’d done it, so I faked it when I knew you were looking.” He looked at Ron. “You saved everything because you felt lucky. You did it all yourself.”
He pocketed the potion again.
“There really wasn’t anything in my pumpkin juice?” Ron said, astounded. “But the weather’s good . . . and Vaisey couldn’t play. . . I honestly haven’t been given lucky potion?”
Harry shook his head. Ron gaped at him for a moment, then rounded on Hermione, imitating her voice. “You added Felix Felicis
to Ron’s juice this morning, that’s why he saved everything! See! I can save goals without help, Hermione!”
“I never said you couldn’t — Ron, you thought you’d been given
it too!”

When Harry drinks the potion later on, he always knows the right thing to do (it's described as if the potion is guiding him). It's in line with "giving him confidence" in the sense that he knows everything he does will turn out in his favour (Filch will leave the doors unlocked, he should go visit Hagrid instead of going to Slughorn's office which was his original plan, he should play up the tears regarding his parents with Slughorn, etc.).

RDS havers not beating the poor reading comprehension allegations. She isn't calling him trans in that tweet; she's saying it's a false assumption that the objections to Khelif punching women are because the ones objecting perceive him as trans. The implication is not that she believes he is trans; it's the opposite.

The tweet in question, for those who don't want to go off site:

Another legal row is kicking off in Terfland, and it's an absolute belter, bringing together in Marvel style a cast containing all your favourites for what looks set to be a fun packed ride to fill those dreary autumn evenings. After all if your story includes JKR, Jolyon fox-basher Maugham and his Good Law Grift Project, and Sophies "Sparkles" Molly, then the jokes practically write themselves. It's a long and complicated story and I'm not going to attempt more than a brief summary.

Sarah Phillimore is quite a prominent terf, and also a barrister. Last year Sophie Molly (who is really called Even Weddell, but I'm going to keep calling him Sophie because it''s funnier) made a long winded complaint to the barristers complaints board that in essence boiled down to "she laughed at me on the internet and made me cry and want to kill myself"

Timeline of Mr Weddell’s complaint

On 16th March 2024 Mr Weddell made complaint about me with regarding the following comment posted to the social media platform ‘X. Mr Weddell is a trans identifying man i.e. he claims that he is a woman, despite his biological sex being male.

“This man is not a woman. I am allowed to say this. But apparently saying this will incite uncontrollable hoards of students to try and attack me if I am invited to their University grounds right speak (sic) about an entirely unrelated matter. This is sufficiently insane. But it gets worse. Apparently its MY fault that they want to attack me. If Universities continue to collude with violent students then very soon the campus will be safe only for those with the biggest fists.”

This comment was part of a reposted picture of Mr Weddell which he had chosen to put in the public domain. He is pictured naked from the waist up with clothes pegs on his nipples and a ball gag in his mouth. I was clearly exasperated with Mr Weddell’s portrayal of what ‘woman hood’ meant to him and was responding in light of my recent ‘no platforming’ by Bristol University as a ‘security risk’ due to my gender critical views.

Mr Weddell complained in the following terms:

Sarah Phillimore took to twitter to transphobicly abuse me in a public tweet. I'm a transwoman and she wrote 'This man is not a woman. I am allowed to say this.' Her followers then replied by tweeting lots of extremely hurtful and dehumanising transphobic abuse at me. This brought me to tears. This is no way for any Barrister to act. She has openly commited unprovoked transphobic hate againts a vulnerable trans woman. I want to see her face disciplinary action over her abhorrent abuse of power.

Mr Weddell asked that his complaint be kept confidential from me due to asserted fears of some kind of adverse consequence if I were to be informed. He was granted this confidentiality. This complaint was rejected on 27th June 2024 on the basis that I had been exercising my article 10 rights pursuant to the ECHR, and these attracted a ‘high degree’ of protection. Mr Weddell published that letter from the BSB on 3rd July 2024 to the social media platform ‘X’ along with the following disparaging comment

Sophie Molly 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ on X: "This is disgusting from @barstandards. There is no such thing as 'gender-critical philosophical beliefs', it's just transphobic abuse. I will be requesting a review at my earliest convenience.
I then became aware of both the complaint and its rejection. I emailed the BSB to request that I was kept informed of the review process, as there was now no justification for continued secrecy, given that Mr Weddell had chosen to put this matter in the public domain.

On 10th July 2024 Mr Weddell made a formal request for review and on 11th October 2024 I was asked by the BSB to respond to it. I replied the same day

I am unclear why reference is made to the Equality Act 2010. It is my understanding that it has no applicability here but that Mr Wedell's only potential course of action against the BSB would be via judicial review, in that you unreasonably/irrationally failed to sanction me for breach of the Code of Conduct.

Although to be fair he did go a bit further and took a supposed overdose. Of anti-histamine tablets.

The complaint was rejected, appealed a couple of times and rejected again and again. Presumably because everyone was laughing at a photo he had published of himself wearing cheap plastic Poundland clothes pegs as nipple clamps. Presumably he's too much of a wimp to use anything with a stronger spring.

Now that would be the end of it, but he's somehow reinvented himself as a journalist attached to the GLP (do the people down at the dole office know about this sideline?), and they've decided to launder some of their hard-grifted funds by submitting the same complaint again. Only the fox-basher has started tweeting stuff that looks a bit libellous. At which point Jo stepped up with a reminder of the existence of her legal fund.

The best way to get a feeling for how this this is developing is to read the thread on Mumsnet. I don't think I can adequately summarize it.
