구구절절 명문이지만 특히 인상적인 부분
부와 명성으로부터 보호받지 않은 성인 생활을 경험해본 적이 없는 다른 사람들처럼, 엠마 역시 자신이 얼마나 모르는지를 모를 정도로 세상 경험이 적습니다. 그녀는 노숙자 쉼터를 이용할 일도 없을 것입니다. 혼성 공공병동에 배정될 일도 없을 겁니다.
@noelorand She could have contacted me privately any time to say her views had changed, if they have. I'd have been entirely supportive. What she's chosen to do instead is yet another bit of public brand repositioning, without talking to me, but using me for her purpose. It's getting old.
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.
공론화) 교회 초등학생의 질문 "원수를 사랑하라 했는데 김정은하고 이재명도 사랑해야 하나요"
30일 열린 세계로교회 성경캠프에서 어느 초등학생이 한 질문이다. 이에 김요환 목사는 "(이재명은) 마귀에게 조종당하고 있다. 마귀를 내쫓는 게 사랑"이라고 답했다. 교회에서 대체 무슨 교육을 하고 있나.
사이비라는 단어를 이럴 때 써야 합니다.
似而非, 겉으로는 비슷하나 본질은 완전히 다른 가짜.
종교인 것 같으나 종교가 아니라 사기라는 뜻입니다. 사기치고 아이들에게까지 세뇌 교육을 하는 사이비는 법적으로 처벌해야 마땅합니다. 우선은 명예훼손과 모욕죄에는 반드시 해당되겠네요.
이거야말로 지금 한국의 지역 균형이 얼마나 박살나있는지를 제대로 보여주는 방증임. 부산이면 명실공히 서울 바로 다음 가는 대도시인데도 공무원이란 작자들이 삶 전체가 흔들 무슨 벽지로 유배 끌려가는 마냥 울고 있음. 진짜 양극화 해소 위해 재벌해체하는 수준 이상으로 서울해체해야 함.
