Anyone see Owned Jones latest mantrum on Twitter?

[PlectrumElectrum]

Julie Bindel owned Owned Jones

Not seen anyone lose their shit like that in a while!

Julie Bindel is superb

Odious little man. The love child of Student Grant from Viz & Rik from the Young Ones.

She tied him up in knots on Twitter

Another reason to adore Julie Bindel. She's totally fab

CRINGING for Owen Jones. He got his mum involved???? Dear god

I’d be willing to bet he’s in a relationship with or has some sort of thing for a transwoman

Well, it certainly won't be with a trans man. Even suggesting he might be sexually interested in trans men means that you're a massive homophobe who doesn't know that gay men have been told to shag a woman to cure themselves since the dawn of time.

So, to LOJ, trans women are women and lesbians must consider them as sexual partners or they're just massive transphobes, but trans men are still apparently female and gay men can just discount them because it's homophobic.

Mummy and daddy must have pulled some serious strings to get him into Oxbridge if that's his level of logic.

I saw an early part of this last night. Haven't looked back to see what's been deleted but I think it went like this:

JB: I can't forgive you, Owen, for refusing to condemn TRAs threatening to get the Working Class Library in Salford shut down just because I was due to give a talk there on growing up as a working class lesbian.

OJ: I have no memory of that at all.

JB: [Screenshots]

Rapid deterioration from that point - JB said OJ wasn't working class, his parents were in Militant Tendency, his mother was associated with an entryist movement that was trying to sabotage a DV campaign JB was involved with in the early 90s - all got very messy from that point on. OJ was apoplectic that JB was bringing his mother into things.

The pyjamas caption on that picture made me laugh a lot, which is unfortunate as I've got a very bad cough and shouldn't be laughing.

It's hilarious to see him pretending to be brave for endorsing the side of the argument that doesn't get you threatened or assaulted. But I guess being calmly disagreed with by feminists is far scarier than rape threats, doxxing, job loss and physical violence. I commend his bravery.

Discovering that LOJ parents are university lecturers has answered a nagging question I had about his weird demonization/pedestal thing of working class men. It's like the noble savage crap where people see native cultures as other but then feel bad about it so they kid themselves that there's something innately pure about it that westerners don't understand (except replace with working class and middle class).

Also, how does he align his background with his complete dismissal of university educated women? Does his mother ever look at him and wonder what happened to make him hate women like her so much?

Update: LOJ is doing a live q&a at midday on YouTube...

Apparently I was wrong, OFJ (Owen Fucking Jones) does like to respond to dissenting opinions and is willing to discuss, he says in this video announcing his YouTube chat thus afternoon: mobile.twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/972025651048992768

Go ahead, ask him anything.

Please someone ask him if he would consider dating a trans man.

FeministBadger , thought his dad was a local authority worker who lost his job.

Ah right - I stand corrected then. I still maintain that he has some weird love hate relationship going on with the working class where he paints us as being misunderstood but also gets mad when we don't think or act exactly like he wants us to. Although perhaps that's because he thinks that we owe Labour an allegiance like good children being pat on the head for the promise of sweeties.

Labour in Sheffield are chopping hundreds of beautiful mature trees down, with their private partner Amey

@LinesInTheSand - Noooo! Just googled this as I grew up in Sheffield, just off Rivelin Valley Road (where all the trees are being chopped). That is so incredibly sad - another reason not to vote Labour for me. And I am a lifelong Labour voter and party member.

We could ask him whether he agrees with women being called "bitches" and "cunts" for holding gender-critical views, whether he agreed with the attack on Maria MacLachlan, whether he agreed with the threat to close down with the working-class library.

Do women have the right to speak out if they have gender-critical views, or should they be silenced?

Should lesbians be forced to consider trans-identified males as sexual partners? That's another one. A

Please ask him this.

Someone beat me to it 😁

"Do women have the right to speak out if they have gender-critical views, or should they be silenced?"

Perhaps get a few of his personal klaxon subjects into it too?

Does an unemployed, working class, non-uni educated, disabled single mother have the right to speak out?

Please someone ask him if he would consider dating a trans man

So - if a man says he's a woman, he's a woman and lesbians MUST date him.

But if a woman says she is a man, she is still a woman and it's homophobic to say men must date her?

mm. It's almost like women lose out in every way....

He's from Stockport isn't he? Not Sheffield.

Yes Jessica it does rather appear that the only people LOJ approves of are men and 'women' with penises and his mum.

He's on in a few minutes...

'He's from Stockport isn't he? Not Sheffield.'

That's what I thought too

My mistake sorry, Stockport not Sheffield. Still uses it when asked about being middle class.

A couple of years back, loads of feminists were asking Owen if he would sleep with a TIF. They called it the cunnilingus challenge. LOL. He screeched homophobia and threw his toys right out of his pram.
