That article... lol
No wonder he's so big on the "Sex work is real work angle" and he was a Tory. Lol. Bet that would go down well with his penis news mob

Sorry @TalaTheStoryteller, you thought the woman who between giving so much money to charity & paying her taxes in full she went from billionaire to millionaire was bullying another millionaire how?

Mr Wedding-in-Hello is not a bashful wee wallflower - he describes himself as having lived a high-profile life from the age [of] 15 to 38. Arguably he also holds considerably more privilege than Rowling - it’s an argument about the [exact] degree/extent as opposed to the existence of it.

Publishing 42 articles in a week attacking someone because you essentially consider them a heretic? That meets the definition of bullying.

Cohen having “only” 31.3K followers to Rowling’s 13.9M is neither here nor there. He’s a public figure who’s repeatedly attacked Rowling: why shouldn’t she, on this occasion, have picked him up on damaging agenda-ridden nonsense he was spouting? It was wholly relevant to the discussion - & he made an absolute show of himself trying to claim his husband hadn’t been involved with Mermaids for “several” years. I do hope said husband is better with numbers, given doctors need to be able to do a certain amount of maths, particularly to calculate drugs doseages.

Just as using words people do not like is not “literal violence”; nor is speaking the truth as Rowling has here bullying.

HOW DARE HE!!!!!!

Penis News has been consistent in its persecution of Jo. Hundreds and hundreds of articles.

Brazen. The actual gall of the man

From that thread, this is also when i first saw BC on TV and the penny dropped about the contempt some men have for women (obviously, I'm talking generally and most definitely not focusing on any particular male who may hate women....)

If you can bear it, please watch. All will.become clear!

The journalist conveniently forgot to mention that she was waiting for an email with the WPUK meeting details because revealing that information last minute was the only way we could stop TRA's harassing venues and getting meetings cancelled and to give the TRA's less time to arrange a protest outside. Women didn't want to have to run the gauntlet of aggressive TRA's just to get into the meeting. The assault of MM at Speakers Corner made us all very aware the TRA's were prepared to use violence.

Yep, both blokes in that clip displaying utter contempt for women.

Femi with his 'if something happens, then we deal with that on an individual basis', basically saying that women being harmed is collateral for men being able to do what they fuck they want. Cheers Femi!

And the way Cohen says prison and rolls his eyes as if women on prison don't matter a shite, even though male rapists should be allowed to go to a women's prison if he wants to because 'equality'.

It's so depressing.

Cannot believe Cohen Had to audacity to claim that Prick News isn't interested in JKR.

I did think it was very interesting that he is so keen to distance from the fact that his husband was a trustee for Mermaids....many years ago, aye Ben?

'a global brand boasting £2m annual profit'

Gosh. You'd think someone in charge of a global brand wouldn't be so shy.

Is that the same Benjamin Cohen who promotes double mastectomies?

I like this reply. Useful in lots of situations, I think.

Ben Cohen: witchhunt and constant articles on JKR, which she probably could call unsubstantiated harassment and liable if she went legal
JKR: points out a fairly obvious conflict of interest for BC.

One goes mad.

This almost as if a nerve has been hit. Something to hide?

JessHopeThinks · 02/10/2022 14:54

You might want to listen to Cohen discussing his porn search engine past for half an hour here. It’s excruciating SoundCloud

Handsoffmyrights · 02/10/2022 09:55

LOL! That was news to me and brilliantly written.

NotBadConsidering · 02/10/2022 12:28

It’s exactly the same as saying the Covid-19 Pandemic started “many years ago”.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if Cohen’s husband got out because he saw the writing on the wall with them too. He’s a GP after all, so subject to GMC standards with who he endorses or associates with etc.

GiantKitten · 02/10/2022 12:23

Best bit for me was the “many years” since his husband ceased to be a Mermaids trustee, and if you want to know precisely, check out their wedding feature in Hello 🤣
(Reader, it was 2 years 9 months!)

Clickbait sells Jess

Benjamin Cohen who knows what a woman is when he’s looking for one to gestate a baby for him?

Funny how a TWAW and TMAM wasn’t that important then was it.

Womens biology only matters when he wants to make use of it. What a twat.

Look how much money PinkNews is making. Team apparently grown to 60-80 this year and hiring another 100 roles next year. Press Gazette

God, if there are two words I am sick to the back teeth of hearing, its "trans people."

Benjamin Cohen, whose hyperbolic clickbait rag ran 42 stories on JKR in a single month?

That Benjamin Cohen?

tea, I think all of those were in one week!

Always love it when members of pratsrus.com confirm their identities Grin

That whole thread was hilarious. He got his arse handed to him for claiming PN made hardly any JKR content.
