Hi Owen, we know you hate Mumsnet because you have no way of shutting women up, you misogynist.

It is deeply homophobic to suggest that it is completely normal for gay men to wear fetish gear to work, knock one out in the bogs, film it and put that film on porn sites. It just adds to the erroneous idea that some actual homophobes have that gay men are sexually incontinent and perverts. It's those attitudes that get gay men beaten up, not genuine concerns for safeguarding of children.

From the comments:

"we've learned from history that there's no point in engaging with crypto-fascists and fascist-adjacent people. when they want to exterminate you, there IS no debating. if they use terf language and have terf ideas, they're terfs, it's not rocket science."

Nuts I tell ya. Nuts.

Little Owen Jones must have broken some sort of land speed record racing to MB to get an interview.

Made me laugh.

And he hasn't heard of the Mumsnet Effect yet has he?

Similar to the Streisand Effect but with knobs on.

Yes, the misogyny about Mumsnet has already started on that thread. Nice look Owen, not that you give a fuck.

Hopefully it will direct more people over here to have a look, so for the lurkers:

Owen Jones is totally clueless about safeguarding and given this fact really shouldn't be giving his opinion on who is and isn't suitable to work with the NSPCC

Cesspit of transphobia 😂
Jeez hesoff on one now

No doubt the comments will be full of dismissive remarks about women and mums

Some are, but some are a lot more sensible.

The man (child) is nuts.

Who is trying to get him fired?

I don't want him fired. How would we amuse ourselves then?

Owen, hun, you need to find another word instead of 'cesspit'. It's so 2018.

Ha ha! Let's leave LOJ to digging his hole ever deeper ...

Pops out to get some popcorn......

Jones has just posted on twitter slagging off Mumsnet threads about him! Should be..... interesting.

Yes, I don't think he put the 'children' s charity' bit in the title, that was added by someone else.

I think it's worth being clear about that, just in the name of fact checking.

I am getting mixed messages from some: it's perfectly normal to wank in work toilets, and gender neutral toilets are safe - it's not as if anyone is doing anything sexual there.

Yes - what happened to 'just wanting a place to pee'?

I understood the title of the video to have been added later, it is worth being clear about that sort of thing.

Yes .. some older women know the proclivities of men all too well, eh?

CaveMum Why do people here need to to tread carefully? The people crying 'fake' are the ones who need to do that.

The police can see from the original data file if its been photoshopped or not.
I can't think how anyone would have a photo of the inside of the NSPCC toilets, or have the metadata of his phone and location to do the doctoring, but there you go. Anything is possible isn't it.

I feel similarly. I find myself looking back at warnings given by people I thought were a little crazy and thinking they seem to have been right. As far as the particular things, some I thought were wrong in the first place and some I thought were fine, but I always thought the results they were predicting seemed really unlikely.

Now I feel like I have to revisit the various questions wholesale.

terryleather: "Public sex as an expression of gay male culture that cannot be questioned, transgressing boundaries as a good in and of itself and no fucks given as to what effect that might have on anybody else , the centering of males and their sexual entitlement - it's all there. Gay men or straight men if we're not centering their cocks then we're not doing it right."

Very much this. Someone said yesterday "Mary Whitehouse was right" and I've been musing on this all day. I was a teenager when Mary Whitehouse was all over the media (as it then was - 3 TV channels, radio and the papers) and I saw her the way most other young people did, as a silly, uptight woman who wanted to kill everyone's fun.

I find myself now looking at where we are - when semingly large numbers of men are revelling in their "right" to be sexually active and explicit anywhere they choose and always at the expense of women's privacy and safety and - most sinister of all - children's privacy and safety.

Just tread carefully folks, I’m seeing suggestions online that the “wank in the office toilet” video has been doctored to add the reference to “children’s charity” in the title.

It’s obvious that that is where it has taken place (video is 1 year old, he’s worked at NSPCC for 4 years) and it is still utterly reprehensible but we need to be very careful on what we say and share because if people can prove that the title has been doctored they can bring into question the validity of it as a whole and accuse us of sharing false information.

Check, check and triple check your sources!

Well that is a new low for OJ.

When I thought it wasn't possible to sink any further the guy simply goes subterranean...

Has there ever been a society where transgressing boundaries = good has been a successful principle?

It makes me think of Paglia's claim/observation that this kind of "efflorescence of transgender phenomena" always accompanies the decadent end phases of a civilisation.
