Hi all, I sometimes post here as my writing crosses over into issues you discuss on this forum. I've published a new article RE the awful misogyny JK Rowling has been facing recently. Hope you all like it (although maybe "like" is the wrong word...), and please feel free to share it around!

That is a v good read, you're obviously a bloke who actually gets it.

Oxyiz · 08/06/2020 17:21

Yes, really well observed.

Thanks @TomFarr1.
That is a bloody brilliant article.
Since I am so infuriated by cheerleader's for OJ incl some friends, I particularly loved this:
Leftist Woke Blokes love liberal feminism because it gives them a chance to willy-wave their feminist credentials by going along with hot takes such as “men are trash” and “sex work is work”, which creates the narrative that they are on the one hand empathetic to the plight of women, while on the other disavowing them of any responsibility when it comes to actually challenging their own privilege.

Thanks Tom, I follow you on Twitter and think you have a great handle on the issues. Article was very witty as well.

Also, your dog is v cute.

The amount of abuse JKR is facing is horrific. I am afraid I stopped reading half-way through and I think my response is to delete my Twitter account (which is anyway dormant). I cannot support a platform which allows such abuse to stand.

None of which is a comment on your writing, Tom Smile

Just in case the article disappears: archive.fo/nvz5q

Brilliant

TomFarr1 · 08/06/2020 18:14

Thank you all for the kind words, and @TerribleCustomerCervix especially about my dog ☺️

Great article Tom. And that's a Twitter follow from me too!

andyoldlabour · 10/06/2020 15:22

Great article Tom, positive comments as well.

Thanks Tom, I've enjoyed reading some of your previous writing and will have a look at this too.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 10/06/2020 18:14

Great article - thanks!

MoleSmokes · 11/06/2020 12:01

Definitely One of the Good Guys! Smile

I checked out your other articles and this one is excellent article too - timely and one of the best I have read on Prostitution:

"The sex work sham: Coronavirus has highlighted the rank hypocrisy of sex trade-apologist Leftists"

Thank you @MoleSmokes - I'm grateful you took the time to read the prostitution article. I appreciate that a 9000 word essay on labour theory is not up everyone's street! 😂

witchofthenorth · 11/06/2020 12:29

@TomFarr1 thank you. Great article, I'll go check the prostitution one now 👍

heathspeedwell · 11/06/2020 12:30

Brilliant article, looking forward to reading the others.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 11/06/2020 12:46

TomFarr1

Thank you for the other article too.

I’ve stated this before - but the left has completely abandoned me and women.

CaraDune · 11/06/2020 12:50

Thanks Tom (someone posted this article on another thread, and I actually tried to "@" you so you'd know, but I forgot the 1 at the end of your user ID). I found the article very acute and articulate.

MondayYogurt · 11/06/2020 12:51

Thanks for this. Tom, can I ask what kind of abuse (if any) you are usually subject to for your views?

TomFarr1 · 11/06/2020 12:54

@MondayYogurt very little, if any. I was once called a "boring, unremarkable, tory cunt", which I found to be highly offensive, as I'm not a Tory.
