Emma Watson is obnoxious but I thought she said “by the way”, not “bar one”?

Yeah on second viewing I thought it was ‘by the way’. But without sound looks like bar one.Emma Watson is obnoxious but I thought she said “by the way”, not “bar one”?

I can't get over the hair and makeup Those brows! The flat hair with bobby pins! Definitely a flop of a look. I can't stand her but some of her previous red carpet hair dos and make up have been lovely. Looks like someone had no time to do a proper look this time.Yeah on second viewing I thought it was ‘by the way’. But without sound looks like bar one.
I am not sure if the last line is trolling or what you actually believe and if it is it shows an exceptionally narrow view of a wide issue. I am a guy which i have never hid when talking about gender issues. I have a daughter as well as a partner who believes strongly with the majority of this thread. She works with people who have suffered abuse from males as well as woman in the criminal justice system. Like a lot of woman in these types of fields she has to keep a low profile.This is my final post in this thread. But I just want to sign off by saying I find it ironic that many posters here are berating people for being unable to see anybody else’s point of view but their own as that is exactly the way some of those same posters behave themselves.
A little more trying to see both sides goes a long way to solving most problems. And, while I agree with much of what JK Rowling says, I feel that now she too is falling victim to tunnel vision on the issue.
I firmly believe there there is unhelpful extremism, unfairness and silliness on both sides of the debate and, from my brief foray into this thread, I feel more pessimistic than ever that any kind of resolution will be found.
I’m a straight woman and I fully understand than a vocal minority of transwomen are not doing their situation any favours. But I also believe that there are many transwomen who genuinely do identify as women and really don’t deserve to be equated with rapists and abusers.
Thet reminds me of Ricky Gervais when he hosted an award show:I agree. Especially at awards shows. Take/present the award, thank god/your parents/your cat then duck off
Transwoman aren't necessarily rapists and abusers just as 'cis' men aren't necessarily rapists and abusers. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't safeguard against male on female violence.This is my final post in this thread.

My suggestion made earlier in the thread had 18 likes so we could go with this:I’m trying to think of a suitable ‘half blood Prince’ pun for thread 6. ‘Cross dressed Bunce’?
I completely agree with you but also - your use of cis which I also hate - you’re right - we’re almost being forced into it for ‘clarity’ purposes, which shows how bad it’s got!It's this kind of behaviour by cis (I hate this term but using for clarity) men, for me, that is intrinsically linked to why the vast majority of cis women don't want to use unisex toilets or have transwomen in their toilets.
When I'm feeling ballsy I just go with "real women". Gets right under their skin.I completely agree with you but also - your use of cis which I also hate - you’re right - we’re almost being forced into it for ‘clarity’ purposes, which shows how bad it’s got!
JK and the “only women bleed” prince?I’m trying to think of a suitable ‘half blood Prince’ pun for thread 6. ‘Cross dressed Bunce’?
Because it is an insult/slur I’ve seen it used in a very derogatory way by a former male friend(who happens to be one of the vilest and nastiest misogynistic cunts I’ve ever met. His tweets regularly feature phrases such as why do the hetty cissys walk so slow and cissy hets are an embarrassment and not “allowed” to like <the thing>(insert musical/tv show/book) because they’re “for the gays”. He doesn’t believe he benefits from white male privilege despite being an able bodied white man who owns a house and car. But the funniest thing is he himself is “cis” seeing as he’s not trans or non binary .I refuse to use all these ridiculous names they keep coming up with, "cis" just sounds like a insult tbh, every week there's some new term to use, I should be allowed to call myself female an nothing else, no terms or stupid names an not feel like using the term female is wrong, if my neice comes up to me an says "am a pretty girl" then ill be sure to allow her to know she IS a pretty GIRL and not allow all these ridiculous terms to take that away from her or to confuse her into thinking its wrong to say that or she shouldn't be calling herself a girl
