I have to say I'm biased and I've always loathed Coren, but holy fucking shit...

Jesus that Esquire piececis horrific

HOW on earth does his wife put up with him? And how is he paid for writing such shite all the time?
All I see from this tosh is a man winging about men having to change their ways. He can fuck off.

so the whole esqire piece was just to get the last line gag in?

he truly is vile.,

And tygr I completely agree with you, there is no way this will backfire. No matter how much it should.

That Esquire peice, wtf???

Whaaaaaaat

He really loves his wife's tits, doesn't he ?

Like calls to like, I guess, AF

He really is no better than Hopkins.

I agree with the consensus here about Giles take on Weinstein Others have it covered so im going to cover his attitude towards his wifes weight. Giles if you are reading this i used to be 21 stone and a size 28 I lost ten stone for ME in 2002/2004 Ive been with my husband for just over 25 years and NOT ONCE has he mentioned my weight. NOT ONCE And why on earth was he encouraging his wife to lose weight at great speed when fast weight loss is dangerous Proves he doesnt give a fuck about her health. he doesnt give a shit about women full stop.

Initially, of course, it was my wife's perfect tits and loose morals that attracted me (qualities which, if they are passed on to my daughter, will create a whole heap of parenting issues of their own)

wtaf?

Not sure how anyone can say this was taken out of context
It's crystal clear what he means.

I'm finding it hard to use Twitter at the moment because I'll probably get banned for what I'd like to say.

I hope Giles does lose his job but he's not going to, probably sucking the right dick all these years.

The bit where he imagines his son viewing his ‘python’ was unpleasant.

Can you imagine a mother writing like this about a daughter?

(Apologies, I seem to have taken us off the topic of the Weinstein piece.)

Christ that article

It's like he's a teenager trying to shock, stuck in the body of a 40 year old man. I can't bear the thought of his children reading that in years to come. Grim, grim, grim.

He's a foul thing isn't he? That esquire article was awful, and the bit where he says he'd like his son to "butt rape" someone to death is vile. Of course, if you get to crack a joke about prostitutes at the end it makes it all OK

The article doesn’t bother me as I couldn’t care less what Giles Coren writes or thinks. He’s a deeply irritating, unfunny man, with little discernible talent who is only where he is today because of his father. His opinion really isn’t important.

Craig, in the past when men made sexist comments to see how I'd react, I'd think "meh, it's not like they are running for office".

Sadly this pus filled boil of a man is saying what a lot of men think.

Gin "That esquire article was awful, and the bit where he says he'd like his son to "butt rape" someone to death is vile"

Um. So it's okay for me to say I hope someone rapes Giles?

slim I'm sorry I don't follow you?

'Short legged little arsewinder' has made my night. :o

That Esquire piece is puerile beyond words. I suppose that's the point, but still, not a good look on a 47yo.

Christ that Esquire article. If ever there was a case of "when a man tells you what he's like, listen."

The only man I've known in real life who covered such blatant and appalling misogyny under cover of supposed (and utterly unfunny humour) I later discovered was a rapist.

Gin, I don't think I can be clearer!

That’s a very fair point Slim; I didn’t see it like that but it’s made me think.
