Owen Jones sounds off about ‘self described’ feminists

What is so worrying, is watching the pure hate and rage, barely controlled by LOJ when he was given a tiny taste of his own medicine.

It's gone beyond LOJ thinking about what's actually right or wrong in this situation, it's now purely about control. This was a tiny little man, being filmed, surrounded by other men; what if he was alone with the woman who dared to talk in her own words!?

It's frightening.

BDSM is not a harmless lifestyle choice. It's a sexual fetish. Why are they trying to normalise it?

That is the whole agenda - to normalise any and all male sexual behaviours.

He has a point about the demonisation of 'chavs' and the middle class attitude of looking down people's noses, which helped to enable austerity and a culture where we judge the deserving and undeserving poor. He understands the corruption and bastardisation of language better than most cos he wrote a book about the point.

However after that he ran out of ideas and I'd argue has gone directly against that principle in many respects, because supporting Labour without question was more important. He's since made a living out of his understanding of propaganda and communication in more than one way

He clearly demonstrates he knows how language matters and how it can be used in a way which is harmful against groups which are marginalised. So he actively uses it when it suits his own personal political aims.

This I have a BIG issue with. He either has an enormous lack of integrity and lack of self awareness or he is acting in a way which is rather more sinister. Which is why I like to refer to him as Mr 1984, because thats his twitter handle and I refuse to beleive that is a choice without thought because I like to make the connect to the concept of totalitarian IngSoc which Jones is quite blantantly peddling in real life.

I dislike anyone who actively pushes euphemist phrases in a political context, regardless of their political persuasion as its against the interest of the public at large as its a tactic to hide the truth and material reality behind whilst things can be done against the population without proper accountability and transparency. Its fundamentally anti-democratic and authoritarian.

I see EXACTLY what Jones is.

He said it was not ok to have endless OUTRAGE pushed to demonise yet its his MO.

He is worse than stupid. Stupid suggests a naive innocent and not knowing any better.

Was there once a decent intellectual basis to his output?

That’s my question, how on earth did he get a platform in the first place? He really just comes across as an entitled whinging man baby.

The bit that struck me most from that vid was how much it clearly cost him to STFU and let JHB speak. He tried to be all gracious and 'go ahead' but just sat stewing until he had a pretext to storm off.

How is he a national commentator btw? What has he achieved apart from whining online and claiming working class credentials to write books based on his whining online? Was there once a decent intellectual basis to his output?

I want to be like JHB

She wouldn't be my first choice roll model (to pit it mildly!). I find some of what she says utterly awful. But I also think she does make good points which cut through the crap regularly, even if I don't agree with her opinion on the subject.

She's not formulaic to the point of paradody. And she wins on integrity too. Certainly compared to 'the boy wonder'.

I want to be like JHB

As others have said - man tries to tell women how to do feminism and what they should think, accept and put up with.

Fuck off, matey.

^^
No. Please tell us more

*Conservatives

I've just read something indicating that little Owen Jones, has a lot more love than expected for some Consertives.
Anyone else see that?

The reference to "cocophobic thugs" made me laugh out loud!

"Nearly 13m people didn't vote Labour to see cocophobic thugs destroy our compassionate country."

I think I particularly like

FACT: no jellyfish has ever stung anyone. Reports to the contrary are simply hate-filled propaganda and an insult to commonsense

Private Eye from last year. An almost perfect parody of LOJ.

A couchette of contagion.

I think 'cradle of contagion' has a nice ring to it don't you think, plus MN and cradle go pretty well.

Trundle of transphobia? Bassinet of bigotry?

Lets help Owen out with his writing by numbers

Is cesspit of transphobia an improvement on nest of vipers I wonder?

I preferred the toxic hotbed. At least it had pillows & a duvet.

Done

Telling use of words. What Owen is showing is how women - especially mothers - repel and disgust him. He is one messed up little guy.

Hi Owen.

Everyone Wave to Owen.

Egosurfing (also Googling yourself, vanity searching, egosearching, egogoogling, autogoogling, self-googling) is the practice of searching for one's own name, or pseudonym on a popular search engine in order to review the results. Similarly, an egosurfer is one who surfs the Internet for his or her own name to see what information appears.

Can we write your next article for you?

Just watched that video for the first time. Dear god what a petulant little twat.

OJ has been defending male sexual rights again.

He has no idea at all about the safeguarding of children. And I find that chilling.

it reminded me of the oxfam debacle as well.

Looks like he's going Grey Rock then

Totally his only option. Self preservation kicks in just far enough to set a dim light blinking with an alarm that says "Abort! Abort! Desist from comment! Pretend no one heard you!"
