Owen Jones is Having a Tantrum

He's an idiot - can we all self-identify as gay men and clog his Twitter with demands for him to appreciate our hunky man vaginas?

with fingers curled towards my thumb, creating a little circle

Be aware, women, that he will have got a Google alert about this thread, because the sad little man vanity searches his name.

He really does hate women as well, unless those women have cocks*, and then he's all ears for them. You'd think, with his volte-face over his politics, and his fairly awful views on working class people, that men would see through his particular brand of bullshit, but apparently not. Must be super to be able to go to a dick swinging contest like his echo chamber.

*I am well aware that the one cannot, by definition, have the other, never fear

Owen Jones doesn't even bother to hide his abject misogyny any more. He's one of those gay men who really hates women.

What was that about terfing?

He called lesbians 'whatever' in a pro-LGBT article once too!

Is OJ the half-wit who called lesbians transphobe bigots for not having sex with men who said they felt like women, but got very upset at the suggestion he should perform oral sex on a vulva if that woman said she felt like a man?

Thats the one. You know, its kind of embarrassing to admit but I used to love Owen Jones. The whole 'eww cunnilungus' after berating lesbians for not wanting to suck dick was a huge turning point for me and opened my eyes to how hes just as much of a huge hypocrite as the rest of them, and now I find him a bit slimey tbh.

I notice when he goes off on one, its always transwomens feelings he is concerned about, not the feelings of transmen. A few replies on there are going on about how transmen want to be in male facilities and such...which dioesn't seem to be true. The few accounts of transmens experiences that I have read (oddly, there doesn't seem to be much out there about transmen, its transwomen who shout the loudest and get the platform in general) they do NOT want into male spaces, but feel they should support transwomen in their fights.

Is there any time when Owen Jones isn't having a tantrum?

If 'centrist' and 'transphobe' are equivalent insults from the new left ideology, I'm ok with being called them

He's now RTing supportive messages including this one:

The majority of feminists support trans rights and I'm tired of this handful of reactionaries claiming to speak on all women's behalf.

Do they not see the irony that a handful of trans activists are being allowed to do just that, and to define what feminism is, being a woman is, what gender is, what transphobia is - on behalf of all other women?

He's currently blocking a whole load of people. Good fun to be had early evening Saturday

Has anyone yet tweeted and reminded him of when he said he wouldn’t have sex with a transman?

He also retweeted a thread justifying the assault by 4 males on a 60 year old woman at Speakers' Corner.

Especially disgusted with the protests that men wouldn't and haven't used being transgenderism as a way to gain access to vulnerable women.

Countess yes but they're mostly focussed on the centrist issue and Owen being a general bellend rather than refuting his transphobia accusations I think. David Aaranovitch is good tho

OJ is not the Voice of Socialism though, even though he'd like to be. And that (along with the misogyny) is one of the reasons he attacks people like Helen Lewis and Glosswitch - because he perceives them as competition. It's a bizarre kind of megalomania.

That'd be Owen Jones who threw a hissy fit when asked whether he'd have sex with a transman (not asked completely out of the blue in a gratuitous invasion of his privacy, as he would have you suppose, but in the context of a discussion where he was re-tweeting a transwoman who believes lesbians who won't suck dick are transphobic).

By his own definition of transphobia, that makes him transphobic, surely?

Yes it is rather telling that 'Centrist' and 'transphobe' are equivalent insults from OJ

That's the one. He is an out-and-out misogynist - you just have to watch his behaviour towards women vs his behaviour towards men to see this.

It took me a while to realize though - to begin with I thought he was just annoying.

Is OJ the half-wit who called lesbians transphobe bigots for not having sex with men who said they felt like women, but got very upset at the suggestion he should perform oral sex on a vulva if that woman said she felt like a man?

He's in a huff because women aren't falling for this bullying shit anymore.

Cuir, there have been quite a few men on our side this time round. Mainly they seem to be offended by the suggestion that they might be centrists
