It didn’t take long for online sleuths to figure out just who the cutting words were directed towards – and they did exactly as suspected as bit back.
@jk_rowling @Okwonga Studies show that this isn't a gendered phenomenon. http://t.co/tGcKrPqEx3

@jk_rowling @Okwonga because what men seriously tweet threats of rape? I've heard more threats of murder towards men than anything else

@jk_rowling @Okwonga Yes!! Yet more male bashing! Great work!

The irony wasn’t lost on the poem’s author who tweeted:
Haa haa! That moment when you tweet a poem about anonymous misogynists and it receives angry, defensive tweets from anonymous misogynists :)
