Dear Owen Jones, we are not frightened of transgender people, we are frightened of men.

Custard gets love from me for its thixotropic properties Deliriumoftheendless. For its eating experience, not so much.

@Barracker

Actually, let me add:

Dear Owen.
I'm not frightened of you either.
I know you're not interested in my sex.
But I choose to have intimate boundaries against your sex.
I choose not to be naked in a publicly shared changing room with you.
Or anyone of your sex.
I also choose not to compete in sports against you.
Or anyone of your sex.
I choose not to have intimate medical exams by you.
Or anyone of your sex.
And I reject the idea that a woman's political position or women's rights can properly by represented by you.
Or anyone of your sex.

This isn't fear, hatred or intolerance.
This is what it looks like when women say no to men and stand our ground.

Do adjust, dear.
There's an awful lot more to come.

Thank you, yes. This.

I’m enjoying the serious consideration of custard on this thread. 👍

Custard is awesome. As a non Newtonian fluid it’s both a solid and a liquid at the same time, which means you can run across a swimming pool full of it.

Is Jones anywhere near as interesting? No.

What?

You can run across custard?

Only if it’s made with custard powder, which contains cornflour, surely?

I’d like to see you try and run across a swimming pool full of Waitrose fresh Madagascan vanilla custard Grin

His friend on that Twitter thread finds someone commenting 'utterly terrifying'.
But women are not allowed to be afraid of men, in the real world.
Is irony dead or do words just have no meaning anymore.
Im lost.
Sick of oj today also.
Saw him on facebook earlier slagging off Rishi sunak.
Im no Tory but does it not occur to these numpties that the reason we have ended up with this shower is because there is no opposition.

ArabellaScott · 25/01/2021 17:18

Custard? are you not thinking of oobloo/cornstarch?

ArabellaScott · 25/01/2021 17:19

oobleck, beg your pardon!

AuntyFungal · 25/01/2021 17:23

I really want syrup sponge & custard.

A delicious non Newtonian fluid, it dosen't get much better than that Smile

Kit19 · 25/01/2021 17:25

ah LOJ is a reminder to post this again

remember that time he slagged off women for having cleaners when he had a cleaner Grin

Now surely this MUST be against the guidelines. How is this post still up?!

Hate speach if ever I saw it...

zzizzer · 25/01/2021 17:26

Custard terrifies me. Wobbly horrible stuff, it shouldn't exist.

MoltenLasagne · 25/01/2021 17:29

I'm gonna have bananas and custard tonight as a direct result of this thread.

BreatheAndFocus · 25/01/2021 17:29

@HopeClearwater

I went to his Wikipedia page. Apparently his mum and dad rejected such stereotypes as blue and pink clothing to indicate boy / girl. Does he not see the contradiction here, between this and all the massively gender performative stuff beloved by the likes of the transgender middle-aged man who announces himself to be a woman and ‘proves it’ by dressing in a bloke’s stereotyped idea of a prostitute?
He’s drunk on his wokeness, and most importantly, this all gives him a green light to attack, patronise and sneer at women. He’s a jumped up little misogynist.

Custard however is fab - particularly the skin drools

Redshoeblueshoe · 25/01/2021 17:30

I love custard, maybe with a nice sponge pudding.

dyslek · 25/01/2021 17:30

The custurdphobia on this thread is disturbing Sad

HecatesCats · 25/01/2021 17:31

Major fomo on missing out on the cult DMs. Is there a newsletter?

MrsWooster · 25/01/2021 17:31

Family I am prepared to die trying to run across a swimming pool of Waitrose Madagascan vanilla custard. Let me know where when etc. Kind regards, MrsW

I knew you lot were all having a good time, and not inviting me Sad

Who's the cult leader? Maybe I could ask them directly to join?

MurderOffTheDancefloor · 25/01/2021 17:36

Oh, Little Owen, I wish someone had told you what a cult is. If this were one, it would be the shittest one ever - you can debate, there is no way to have or not have membership, and there are no men trying to shag or own you.

Owen Jones used to upset and frustrate me. Now I find him hilarious. Thanks for the laughs, LOJ.

MechantGourmet · 25/01/2021 17:37

I would have thought that all women on twitter had switched off DMs?

Deliriumoftheendless · 25/01/2021 17:38

@ArabellaScott

oobleck, beg your pardon!
Yes it’s the cornstarch (as has been pointed out how thread) but it’s still custard!
