That was enough for Rowling to unfollow the culprit, and spend 14 withering tweets explaining why, "If you can’t disagree with a woman without reaching for all those filthy old insults," you've failed at upholding liberal values.

"[F]emaleness is not a design flaw," she wrote. "If your immediate response to a woman who displeases you is to call her a synonym for her vulva, or compare her to a prostitute, then drop the pretence and own it: you’re not a liberal. You’re a few short steps away from some guy hiding behind a cartoon frog."

Preach, J.K., preach.
