Hmm, man tells women he disagrees with that they are doing feminism wrong. Not a good look, but sadly an all too familiar one.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 12/06/2019 18:20

How the fuck does that moron get away with this? I can’t stand him.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 12/06/2019 18:23

Wanker.

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/06/2019 18:26

Maybe someone can post that lovely clip of him with Julia Hartley Brewer, on Sky News.
I thought he was going to explode.
He flounced !

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 12/06/2019 18:36

what, this clip Redshoe?

faced with a woman who won't be shouted over, the only solution is to leave the room. bye bye sanctimonious Morph, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out

JackyHolyoake · 12/06/2019 18:40

LOJ does have a tendency to become a little bit testerical, doesn't he?

And no Mr Jones .. this is not about LGB in any way at all; this is about the suitability of people to be around children when they express paraphilic behaviours in the public realm.

Children and most women do not want to experience such male behaviours in public, thank you.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 12/06/2019 18:41

The Venezuela clip of him is funny too. He’s such a doofus.

Outofinspiration · 12/06/2019 18:42

That headshot though... Grin

Outofinspiration · 12/06/2019 18:44

Sorry but this:

The anti-trans activists who hounded Bergdorf are now demanding the sacking of a senior, gay NSPCC employee because they found pictures of him in fetish gear online, suggesting therefore he is not safe around children.

Is total disingenous bollocks. No one suggested this guy is 'not safe around children'. For fucks sake. Also, they didn't 'find' the pictures, he linked them from his public LinkdIn page!!!

Alltheprettyseahorses · 12/06/2019 18:47

Is sanctimonious little OJ trying to tell us what our identity is? And him so precious about the sanctity of people's self-ID. But then I'm not sure he thinks of women as people. Not like him anyway.

Missingstreetlife · 12/06/2019 18:47

Testerical! 😆🙃😁😃

BiologyIsReal · 12/06/2019 18:48

Another word salad from the Jones.

Popchyk · 12/06/2019 18:48

"cis-gender lesbians".

Christ. The man is delusional. Despite spending a lot of the article talking about gay men, he never refers to them as cis-gender gay men. But Ruth Hunt is a cis-gender lesbian apparently.

I suspect that he writes his articles by concatenating the 20 most bonkers Twitters threads of the day from the LGBT paramilitary wings of the Lib Dems, the Greens and Labour.

And doesn't proof-read.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 12/06/2019 18:49

because they found pictures of him in fetish gear online

LINKED TO HIS ACCOUNT you lying toad.

JackyHolyoake · 12/06/2019 18:49

And, for the information of Mr Jones, here is the definitive list, from DSM 5, of known paraphilic behaviours:

They get to name themselves. Women must be told.

toomanyleavesonthattree · 12/06/2019 18:52

What did OJ say before he stormed off? 'SO you are going to have an LGBT (something) talking about this?'

I can't stand men talking over women the way he did either. Loved Julia's response though, 'You choose your words and I'll choose mine. That's the way this works ok?'
It was just so spot on! The type of thing I would think about in retrospect and wish I had said!'

Popchyk · 12/06/2019 18:53

And, you know, maybe this guy didn't actually want his fetishes to be referred to in a national newspaper, Owen. By erm, you. If his privacy is important, then respect his privacy.

But hey, they're a prop for your rage.

So he's just collateral damage, right?

OJ has absolutely zero awareness about himself. Makes me cringe.

SomeDyke · 12/06/2019 18:54

Well, I will admit I've not watched that clip before, but for JHB, it's like talking to a toddler. As a supposed representative of the LGBTQIblahblahblah 'community' he is way beyond an embarrassment. For that incident alone, no one should listen to a word he says, because the gay people who were murdered ended up being supposedly represented by an idiot like him. If you can't use words little Owen, then be silent, and let someone else do the talking. Your flounce did nothing to respect their memory or why they died, you disrespected then totally by your childish behaviour.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 12/06/2019 18:56

Goodness me. What a load of rubbish. I notice women are "gay" rather than lesbians now. And yes, gay men are just that not "cis". One rule for women, another for men.

JackyHolyoake · 12/06/2019 18:57

Further, Mr Jones did not explain why the man concerned, who is an employee at NSPCC, today removed from Internet view all references to his paraphilic behaviour.

WizbetisaNizbet · 12/06/2019 19:00

I had a look on Glinners Twitter feed. It was awful. Full of men like Owen and woke new adults who can't see why the NSPCC man's fetish is a problem around children and vulnerable children. Very much 'what he does in his spare time is his own business.' 'If it's between consenting adults etc'.

When you are involved in any capacity with vulnerable often abused children then yes it is a massive problem.

BDSM is not a harmless lifestyle choice. It's a sexual fetish. Why are they trying to normalise it?

terryleather · 12/06/2019 19:01

I am posting these again - maybe it's just me, but I never ever get tired of them...
