@corlan

Owen seems to embody the description of Twitter as a ' load of narcissists shouting into a biscuit tin.'
quotation of the day.

Hahahahaha
Oh that’s just perfect Grin

Eyesofdisarray · 03/10/2021 10:50

Brilliant! 😂

AlfonsoTheDinosaur · 03/10/2021 10:45

Oh, Owen. You wee little comedian. Thank you for brightening my day with more of your stupidity.

villamariavintrapp · 03/10/2021 10:38

An embarrassing autocorrect for him? Did he mean 'obviously excluding women'?

Deliriumoftheendless · 03/10/2021 10:24

Maybe he’s waiting for someone in a “will suck cock to end violence against women” t-shirt to pop along.

@guinnessguzzler

Also, do women's voices need to be amplified? Or do men need to stfu and listen instead of drowning out our perfectly clear and appropriately-volumed voices?
Well, quite! I know that people's "voices" being "heard" is a pretty standard metaphor, but needing to "amplify" some voices seems to suggest a public arena in which it's the loudest voices that get heard, and that if important voices are not being heard, it's a loudness problem, rather than a other-people-listening problem. That might all feel a bit of an abstract point if it weren't for the fact that women are all too familiar with being spoken over by loud-voiced men at work meetings etc.

Somebody in the replies suggested Munro Bergdorf. I think it was a joke but I can never be sure these days.

Turds, at least, perform a valuable function

LizzieSiddal · 03/10/2021 09:45

Thank you Pass

So he’s still only listening to his little circle of those who agree with him. Shouldn’t be surprised really.

@MatildaIThink

I think the best description I have heard of Owen Jones was "An odious little turd of a man".
A narcissistic turd shouting into a biscuit tin.

@LizzieSiddal

For the blocked, (me because I asked him what he thought about the Karen White case) did he actually engage with any responses to his tweet, or did he just switch off replies?
He didn't engage with any of the replies, apart from when his friend Ellie Mae O Hagan came in with a suggestion (and that suggestion turns out to be the person he has chosen for his show, I think she is part of Sisters Uncut).

He didn't actually turn off replies on the tweet asking who is good to speak to about institutional misogyny. Replies are still up and you can still comment. But he has tweeted about his show today on the subject and has turned off replies on that.

Talcum X, never fails to miss the point.

He wants to amplify our voices but control and censor what we’re saying.

Yep.

NewMutiny · 03/10/2021 09:13

Missing a T there. Ironically.

NewMutiny · 03/10/2021 09:13

I just came to get 'Sancimonious Morph' into my comment because it brightens up my day.

I enjoyed that thank you.

Floisme · 03/10/2021 08:59

What I find most frightening is that I really believe he thinks he's the good guy.

Thelikelylass · 03/10/2021 08:52

He really is an irritating little twerp, I avoid anything to do with him but I'll bet one day soon he will need to make a public apology to us for being a misogynistic male.

NecessaryScene · 03/10/2021 08:50

Was that the sound of a token tweet dropped to capitalise on a current trend while no actual fucks were given?

And such a sad little "plonk" noise it made as it fell.

Quite fitting, really.

BraveBananaBadge · 03/10/2021 08:49

He asked a question, didn't like what he was getting and turned off replies? That's the spirit. God he's dreadful.

ArabellaScott · 03/10/2021 08:46

Gosh that was a short amplification campaign, Owen.

Was that the sound of a token tweet dropped to capitalise on a current trend while no actual fucks were given?

Or was it the danger of actually allowing womens voices to penetrate his bubble that led him to drop the subject like a hot coal?
