Wishing them all the very best, and meanwhile, a gold star for Julie Bindel for 'unbreakable wifi code' in this interview. 😂

Honestly how many times as a Lesbian have I thought; I need a man to tell me what to do....

Show quote history

If you look at the responses to the tweets announcing this project, the majority of immediate responses all came from male people of various identities demanding to know how this project intends to serve them, because if it doesn't its genocide. Or something. You all know the spiel. Owen's just another one of many.

Ah, come on now, Sappho. Owen knows what's best for lesbians. Better than the lesbians themselves, who, as mere females, obviously aren't capable of much.

Oh standard OJ then. He hates it when women do positive things for ourselves.

Lesbians are tired of being overlooked by LGBTQ+ orgs or used as a validation tool by men with paraphilias, it's definitely time we carved out some space for ourselves.

I think he could have fitted in at least one more furious adverb. He seems to be absolutely FUMMING.

OJ retweeted Julie Bindel's interview on GB News with this:

'It is a disgusting lie to suggest that pedophiles are part of the LGBTQ rainbow.

This grotesque trope leads to abuse, discrimination and violence.

It is beyond disgusting that Julie Bindel has gone on a hard right TV channel to propagate this vile slur.'

I am delighted about the lesbian project! It is so desperately needed by the lesbian community.

What has little OJ said about it? He blocked me on Twitter.

Owen Jones is terribly cross about the Lesbian Project.

It can only be a good thing.

Cheers me up no end. Owen is such a twt.
He's terrified the older secure Lesbians are coming out to rescue the young vulnerable ones and turn them from submissive queers into 2nd wave tough dkes.
And then Britain becomes Amazon Island; mwahaha

Hope little "twoss" OJ doesn't slam his penis in the door on his way out.

OJ is always very cross when women speak, organise or meet without his permission.

nilsmousehammer · 13/03/2023 20:28

It's very tiring being homosexual and female, I'll tell you that. The replies to these tweets are hideously depressing.

That female people dare to want an organisation representing female people, is apparently an act of aggression to male people. Stonewall, Mermaids, they're fine to be exclusively focused on the needs of just one group and expect the rest of the world to realise that there are other organisations for them. But female homosexuals?

I give up. I'm going back in the closet, I'm closing the door and I hope this wretched decade goes away.

I don't know, nils. It must be very tiring, being Owen.

Women who write books presuming to tell everyday lesbians what they should say or think. More self promotion at the expense of every day lesbians (as we know from those who have posted on FWR) dont need to be told what they already now, but some active campaigning.

This is just a project aimed at giving the media a go to place rather than doing proper investigation.

There is an existing thread about this, but cant be bothered to find it.

I think there is also a thread aboug JB beinginterviewed by the media about it.

Hard as it might be for some to believe, but 99.999999999% of women's liberation activism, lesbian supporting other lesbians happened without JB being present or other women even being aware of her.

Is that you Owen?
