Owen Jones

The Diary of Little Owen Jones, aged 33 and 1/4.

Spent today fending off attacks from nasty women. Why do women hate me so much? Why can't they agree with me, like Mummy does? Paris (I love Paris, she always agrees with me), says it's because they are CIS and TERFs, and they can't woman properly like she does.

Hands up, who likes me?

Adrian Mole

Brocialist! Brogressive!

I liked "Chavs" but it's all been downhill from there.

And yes, there is something singularly infuriating about these kinds of men. You assume that they have thought about things, to end up at (broadly) the same political viewpoint, but actually they're just as blindly driven by ideology as their right-wing counterparts. It's actually terrifying.

I don't think the far right are big fans of transsexuals
But they do like 'useful idiots'.

He’s a cross between Adrian Mole & like others have said Rik from The Young Ones.
He’s full of self importance & I feel bad for wasting 2 minutes of my life typing about the man

He's Rik from The Young Ones.

YES!

LOJ is an irritating, self-important, misogynistic brocialist and professional northerner. I can see why he appeals to the Guardian, they get to have a token working class voice without having to deal with any actual working class people.

I don't think the far right are big fans of transsexuals

Funny how all this stuff got purchase at the same time as 'populism' and the extreme right did. I wonder if there's a funding link.

He's blocked me on Twitter so I don't get the joy of his tweets.

He's a rank misogynist, that's so clear now.

Such a disappointment. He seemed like such a brilliant young thing, years ago. Just another left wing male misogynist who thinks his brogressive credentials give him a free pass.

He isn't working class either, his mum was a lecturer and his dad an administrator in the public sector. He's horribly tone-deaf on that whole thing.

Rik from the Young Ones made me laugh though I fear Owen would be too young to get the reference

His Twitter name is so appropriate. I know 1984 is his year of birth but it's also his ideology. Newspeak, thoughtcrime, etc.

Wow I’ve just had a look on little Owen’s Twitter feed. So many men going ’lalala I can’t hear you’ in response to sensible points made by those who think ‘cis’ before ‘women’ is unnecessary.

If a bunch of mums is calling you a misogynist you could pause to think. Or, if you are Owen Jones, you could respond that you are listening to women - the women with cocks.

I don't think I have the required calmness at the moment. He's clearly so hatefully misogynist (and the rest) that I don't want to engage with it at all.

If you have the time AssassinatedBeauty (and the patience) have a listen to Josh Rivers' "explanation" of his racist, misogynist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, and transphobic views on Radio 4 PM:

The "I am the victim in all of this" stance is extraordinary.

I'd not heard of Josh Rivers until I read of his sacking today. He's a piece of work.

Owen responds to his critics with a carefully reasoned argument.

I wonder what a Venn diagram of Owen Jones and Josh Rivers would look like?

But if he blocked you, you’d miss classics like him explaining today that it’s “male chauvinism” that makes feminists disagree with him about trans issues! (Oh, Owen, you pillock.)

He is an epic bellend. I wish he'd block me on Twitter, I expect it'll happen soon because he doesn't like gobby feminists. I try to ignore him but then someone I follow will retweet his latest outrage!

He blocked me on Twitter after the 'telling lesbians to suck dick' saga when I reminded him that homophobia is a hate crime.
He walked away from that mess and people have forgiven him.

Owen Jones…

Sleeps with trans women.

Recoils in disgust at cunnilingus on a trans man.

Yet berates lesbians for not falling onto the almighty trans woman dick.

How can a gay man AND a gay woman both be attracted to the same group of people?

If homosexuality is about SEX (as it is, the clue’s in the name), then he is wrong for his castigation of lesbians for transphobia.

If homosexuality is actually about gender, then he needs to get over himself and get acquainted downstairs with a nice sexy trans man.

It’s always more disappointing to me when it’s left-wing men. When some ultra-conservative type turns out to have shit views about women I’m never surprised, but the lefty blokes, I always hold out hope. “Oooh, he’s talking about feminism and how we should listen to women! Maybe this one gets it!”

Every time. You’d think I’d learn by now.
