Here he is again - sticking up for the side of rationality!!

The BTL comments are heartening too.

He has just demonstrated that he is a weak coward imo with his latest tweet

Oh Jonathan, your poor old bufflehead

I was surprised by this thread as he’s always made my skin crawl with the way he talked to women, sleazing all over them. I remember him “joking” to a famous actress (sadly I’ve forgotten who) while interviewing her that they’d had sex and he’d “ruined her for other men”. So horrible

Well, I suppose it's a good thing that a man listens to his daughters. Not so great when they are PopFems who call women 'bitches' for talking about the material reality of sex and the difficulties women face.

This is why we avoid applauding White Knights. Eventually they'll default to only listening to PopFems who uphold the basic status quo in favour of men. Slow clap, Wossy. This is you and Bragg deciding if women are allowed to discuss their oppression all over again, innit?

Missed his climb down.

He needs to give some thought to whether he wishes his daughters to be subordinate humans in the world. And hope at the same time they have enough privilege to remain unaware of their own naivety and lack of care for female people who are less lucky and whose disadvantage will be massively increased through transactivism.

I suspect from that tweet he has merely lost his nerve.

It is a shame, especially since he did seem to get it. Leaving her to face the abuse she's getting without support is absolutely cowardly.
On the other hand, it seems that Philip Pullman has stuck his head tentatively above the turret so hopefully he'll stay the course.

Unfortunately we all know why he's said this.
And it's not because he believes JK is a transphobe.

He's in the clutches like they all are.

Easy for his rich spoiled daughters to think TWAW. They're not likely to see the inside of a public hospital ward, women's refuge or prison.

The amount of traction this issue has is totally out of proportion to the number of people involved. I cannot understand how this happened

This is what baffles me. How many trans people are there in the UK?

Someone on twitter said his daughter is gay. So to me that’s a double weasel (woman and gay). Well done.

Yeah his daughter calling jk a bitch. Awesome work there from a privileged woman. Just awesome

That’s to be proud of Jonathan Ross.

Philip Pullman lets see if he has any backbone. My guess is he hasn’t. Hopefully am wrong. I fucking love his books as well I hope he does have a backbone

Pullman came down on the TWAW religion some time ago IIRC. So much irony that the big 'anti-religion for kids' polemical fiction writer supports the neo-religious of Genderism that uses kids in ways which are every bit as heinous as scaring small children with a fiery hell for their sins.

His eldest is lesbian and autistic. I think the younger one is straight as she's moaned about men not liking her because of her weight.

Thing is, neither of these kids have ever lived in the real world. The eldest at least went to uni, but the younger one currently spouting off has no qualifications, has never worked a day in her life and lives off her rich parents. She seems to spend most of her time posting god-awful 'body positive' photos of herself in her underwear. She thinks this is empowerment, but saying women menstruate is hateful.

Pullman is saying now he doesn't understand the furore.

God, what a cowardly little fart

Everytime I see certain replies on twitter I really do have to yank my hand away from the keyboard before I find myself just typing 'don't talk bollocks' just everywhere...

Pullman did the “oh I don’t know about this It’s a tricky question” thing before too he is in a similarly untouchable position to JK but doesn’t have her guts.

He’s a huge disappointment to me.

Men don’t go through childbirth.

Maybe that’s why they have no stamina and are such wussy lightweights.

Ffs Philip Pullman. You feel 'uncomfortable' because men are telling J. K. Rowling she should be punched, she's a cunt, a bitch, she deserves to die, because she recognises there are two sexes?

Jesus.

Raging misogynistic abuse makes a man feel 'uncomfortable'.

And really disappointed in ralf little , siad yesterday that he didnt agree with jk stance on trans rights but could still appreciate her for other "good" things she has done , but has now went away and spoke to some people and decided he must never retweet anything she writes even if he agrees with her to.show solidarity , complete coward .

went away and spoke to some people

Don't any of these people have minds of their own? Why do they all have to go away and talk to someone who tells them what they're supposed to think? Why not think for themselves?

He turned out to be a disappointment, didn't he?

I'm starting to think the number of men who are truly committed to the rights of women can be counted on one hand.

And Jonathan really needs to have a wee words with his daughter about calling women sexist slurs - since she obviously doesn’t understand

Blimey,
She's entitled to her own opinion, surely?
I love my Dad but I sure as hell don't agree with all his opinions.
