Plenty of people are defending Miller. Asking a woman a question isn’t belittling them. Have you ever interacted with a woman before? Sure doesn’t seem like it.
Emma Watson is trending because she isn’t transphobic and that really winds up the Joanne cult. That’s the reason she’s trending. “She’s SILENT on Ezra Miller!” Right, well, so is Joanne who tweets ALL THE TIME and Miller was actually IN her movies.

No one is defending Miller. It’s gross that you’re trying to use Miller’s crimes to belittle a woman for disagreeing with you.
