(Yes, it's a DM link. No, I will not apologise for it.)

Piers Morgan has 'reported' Jameela Jamil's to the police on Twitter for 'mis-gendering' him amid their furious row about gender fluidity.

The row between the duo, which has been going on for over 24 hours, started earlier in the week with a disagreement about Sam Smith saying he doesn't identify as either a man or a woman.

Piers, 53, took to Twitter on Friday morning to after Jameela, 33, 'mis-gendered' him: '"This thing". Wow. On every level that is a shameful mis-gendering. Cc @metpoliceuk'.

I find this a difficult one. I am gender critical, but I do love Jameela!

She owes him an apology.

Agreed.

BigFatGiant · 23/03/2019 17:37

She’s just not that bright is she? He was doing well, it could have made for some excellent banter is she didn’t take herself so seriously.

BickerinBrattle · 23/03/2019 16:51

The pronoun she used in reference to him was “it.”

My ears are already hurting, imagining the decibel level of the outcry, and deservedly so, were any feminist to use the pronoun “it” during any debate over gender and language.

To call someone “it” is beyond offensive. Misgendering isn’t even at issue: her pronoun usage stripped PM of basic human-ness.

She owes him an apology.

But yeah...either way its fucking irritating Grin

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 16:40

Indeed. It's annoying having every word jumped on isn't it

Its not the word bit its more the

Cant comment on a labour party policy wthout saying you hate the tories because otherwise some numbnut will say....well you obviously love the tories you tory lapdog you

It pisses me off that i feel i have to caveat everything on the boards

Indeed. It's annoying having every word jumped on isn't it?

This arse-licking "ally" bullshit can fuck off.

I have absolutely no clue what is arse licking about what I said? I hadn't even thought of ally in the woke sense.

I was making a play on 'with friends like these..' to make the point that I didn't think the childish stunt of his being 'misgendered' helped make the case. I think that having PM bang on about this issue is a mixed blessing- he gets attention, but he's such a dick that many will not think about the underlying issue.

What I found most remarkable about this twitter spat, is that it’s perfectly ok with a lot of people for her to dehumanise him, repeatedly.

I missed the calling him a 'thing' on first read. I think this is a very telling point. They all do this- you'd imagine 'activists' who want everyone else to 'be kind' could manage to have a civil debate.

thewitchofwentworth · 23/03/2019 13:47

I feel that "Piers Morgan said/did/etc" could be a daily newspaper article.

What I found most remarkable about this twitter spat, is that it’s perfectly ok with a lot of people for her to dehumanise him, repeatedly. What is this double standards crap? Why is it ok to bully, dehumanise and insult certain people but not others? She’s a massive hypocrite.

Well said!

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 11:26

Piers isn’t an ally. He’s a person some women agree with on some issues

Spot on

It pisses me off that i feel i have to caveat everything on the boards

I was on a thread the other day disagreeing with A and someone started ranting that we were all hypocrites for not denouncing B

Everyone would have denounced B if we had been discussing B!!

Well put. This arse-licking "ally" bullshit can fuck off.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 09:48

Cant stand mr morgan

But i think complaining to twitter is fair enough, calling him thing and it is really not on and is a deletable offense on mumsnet

I will be honest i am torn on the police bit....mainly because just because some people are misusing the police for thir own gain doesn't mean we shoukd lower ourselves to do the same

Then i think aaaahh fuckit, serves em right

So a bit conflicted

teawamutu · 23/03/2019 09:37

Funkaccino OMFG. Opinion revised: from feminist campaigner to unthinking woke parrot.

JJ is, come to think of it, the only person I've seen in ages to use 'woke' in a way that doesn't indicate 'total bollocks'.

NeurotrashWarrior · 23/03/2019 09:15

Though many women obviously do get it without having a child first. So, on second thoughts, no excuse hun!

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 23/03/2019 09:15

Example of the cognitive dissonance of the SJW perhaps?

Yes, quite rightly she challenged Piers Morgan about sex stereotypes, but not Sam Smith.

NeurotrashWarrior · 23/03/2019 09:15

Does she have children?

I didn't get owt till I had kids.

Funkaccino · 23/03/2019 09:04

People have been writing about body shaming through a feminist lense for decades. It's become trendy at the moment though so people have jumped on the bandwagon same as the trans thing. No thought is required when there is a heap of available information from legit and non legit sources

Funkaccino · 23/03/2019 09:01

For International Womens day she posted a list of interesting women to follow on Twitter.

Including Danielle "suck my dick" Muscato.

Now I dont wish to be rude but my opinion of Jameela is that pond bacteria have more common sense.

teawamutu · 23/03/2019 08:35

I love Jameela Jamil's work on body shaming. I don't understand how someone who's so clear about exploitation and sexualisation of the FEMALE body can be such a simpering wokey 'feminism has to centre everybody especially the ones with dicks' useful idiot when TW hove into view.

Example of the cognitive dissonance of the SJW perhaps?

It’s a stunt / joke.

Bearsinmotion · 23/03/2019 08:09

Actually the “report” to the police was for this tweet:

'LOL. He thinks "honey" can only be used about females. How do we send this thing back in a time machine to the era in which it belongs...?'

What do you think the reaction would have been if she was actually referring to India Willoughby or Aimee Challenor?

AnyOldPrion · 23/03/2019 07:51

Drat, I missed the quotemarks around “reported”. I thought he’d actually reported it.

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 23/03/2019 07:33

With allies like him, who needs enemies?

Allies!? What is this "allies" bullshit? I have no brief for Piers Morgan one way or the other but I like what he did there.

And I find Jamil insufferably woke so I am glad to see her hoist by her own petard.

Callmejudith · 23/03/2019 07:32

Jameela does use her platform well but is so woke she needs to giver her head a wobble.

Piers is insufferable but I'm glad we've got him on this issue, he has a huge audience

InfiniteSheldon · 23/03/2019 07:21

Piers is making a point, a valid point that not only tra's can be misgendered and he is in a great position to bring this to the wider public.
