Beautiful summation of the terrifyingly fast recent normalisation of misogyny, with accurate rebuttal of the latest unpleasant blatherings by OJ. Ice cold fury.

That is brilliant and also enraging. It is interesting that she did get a response from Kath Viner. I suggest that her new social media policy is taking Owen Jones’ phone off him.

Brilliant and fury inciting reveal.
Burn the Witches indeed.

She's amazing. She always puts my feelings into words that I could never ever come close to articulating.

BlueBrush · 02/08/2020 20:23

Agreed @DialSquare. I could easily give up hope if it wasn't for her. Thanks for sharing @JellyfishandShells.

Thanks for sharing.

Jane Clare Jones does tend to hit all the relevant points and bravely goes forward. Thank you Jane. You continue to be articulate even in your raging moments.

I fucking hate owen jones. The misogynist little shit.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 02/08/2020 20:57

Thank you, Dr Jones.

Excellent rant

aliasundercover · 02/08/2020 21:11

Please, can those tweets be archived by somebody who knows how to do these things. I'm scared it will be removed and lost.

aliasundercover · 02/08/2020 21:12

... oh, and OJ is a whining little shit. Definitely bullied at school and making up for it now.

LockdownLump · 02/08/2020 21:58

She is just absolutely amazing. I adore her. Relentless, succinct, intelligent, coherent.

PearPickingPorky · 02/08/2020 22:26

I'm always so in awe of her range of vocabulary. What a talent that woman has.

DialSquare · 02/08/2020 22:36

There's a video of her having a chat with Glinner on Twitter now. I'll have a watch tomorrow.

They're not related are they - Dr Jones and Little Owen (I am an arse) Jones 😂😂😂

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the Christmas dinner table if they are!

Watched this- thanks for the heads up Dial. I have fallen a little bit in love with Dr Jones after watching it. She is so articulate.
rednsparkley · 02/08/2020 23:36

That is an OUTSTANDING thread, absolutely outstanding! Thank you Dr Jane Clare Jones, thank you, thank you, thank you Flowers

DialSquare · 02/08/2020 23:47

No problem Earl. Turns out I could have watched it after all as I'm still up! But I'll save it for tomorrow now. I think many of us are a bit in love with her too!

RadandMad · 03/08/2020 00:00

Love her too - she did a great interview with Glinner.

thehumanformerlyknownasfemale · 03/08/2020 00:11

I admire how eloquently she can write about this. I end up enraged nearly every time I look on Twitter, I'd probably be banned if I had an account. Women like Jane speaking out restores my sanity a little.

I love Dr Emma Hilton too. Just cuts through the bullshit so calmly despite being labelled a transphobe. For being a biologists that talks about biology.

Her website/blog is fantastic (janeclarejones.com/). She is skilled at explaining difficult and opaque gender theory concepts. I read Judith Butler's Gender Trouble or whatever it is called and waded through the word salad, trying to understand why she was viewed a feminist writer. I could tell, after reading the book that she was not, but couldn't make my arguments clear. Dr. Jones helped me do that

hipsterfun · 03/08/2020 01:04

Us and Dr Jones
We got a thing goin’ on
We all know she ain’t wrong
And she’s much too strong
To let it go now
