JK Rowling Ridicules US Gameshow Host For 'Vagina Hats' Tweet

The Harry Potter author kills it yet again.

JK Rowling has once again proved she’s not just the Queen of children’s fiction but also of withering Twitter put-downs.

Chuck Woolery, a US gameshow host, has become the latest to feel the force of the author.

In a tweet back in February, Woolery tweeted this insightful view of the “pussy hats” worn by many of those taking part in the women’s marches around the world.

Women get vagina hats, but if men wore penis hats, they'd attack us and be outraged. https://t.co/7A3JHt04Ds

The pink beanies, which featured cat ears, were a symbol of solidarity among protesters at the marches. They most certainly did not look like vaginas.

Woolery’s comment appear to have just come to Rowling’s attention, prompting her to tweet:

Every man who feels this way should wear his penis hat with pride. pic.twitter.com/t4OKgf1kCM

The response left many fans amused...

@jk_rowling If he thinks our pussy hats are modelled on vaginas then I will happily knit him a dick hat.

@jk_rowling It seems that they've already been wearing them for a while...

@jk_rowling Looks to me like he's doing a pretty impression without the hat.
