Little Owen is slagging off Mumsnet again. They're all out on this one - the handmaidens, the male feminists.

"Owen Jones Hunsnet is vile - the ultra-right wing views of its members should put it on a Prevent watchlist!"

Come on, you know you want to.

Oh look- the fragrant doc has arrived to impart his opinion
Likening FWR to an extremists group
😠😠

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 10/06/2021 17:32

I don't have FB so shan't look - but I'm surprised he's not aware that Sue Pascoe is way ahead of him so he's adding Mumsnet to already failed reports.

I assumed that was satire from someone impersonating him. No?

Oh my, is LOJ getting testerical again...excuse me while I laugh heartily and crack open a cold one to toast Maya.

Chin-chin all you pombear guzzling, Zoflora sniffing vipers!

We’ll see more and more slurs on those of us with rational arguments for child safeguarding and retaining sex based rights now “no debate” has failed as a tactic. Emotive language is all they’ve got left.
In the real world, however, more and more people are becoming aware of the issues, and most (rightfully) want trans people to be able to live their lives in peace but (equally rightfully) don’t want women or children harmed by the abolishment of sex-based rights or safeguarding.
I listened to some men chatting in a beer garden yesterday, about transwomen wanting to compete in female sport categories. I didn’t hear any fear or hatred of TW, but “it’d just be unfair,” was agreed all round very quickly.

He says there is an organised anti-trans campaign of 'various facebook groups and (I kid you not) Mumsnet.'

Because what could a group of people using a board to talk about miscarriage, TTC, childbirth, hysterectomies, breast cancer, breast feeding etc. etc. possibly have in common?

Is it that they need specific sex based rights and protections, or is it that their heads are full of pink fluff? According to OJ it must be the latter, hence why we are all controlled by the American religious right who are apparently deeply interested in British politics.

Floisme · 10/06/2021 17:47

I looked, and it was worth it for the (I kid you) not Mumsnet mention.

Imagine that, mums - some of them middle aged too - with opinions Shock

Floisme · 10/06/2021 17:48

Ah I see merrymouse got there first!

He says there is an organised anti-trans pro-woman and pro-safeguarding campaign of 'various facebook groups and (I kid you not) Mumsnet.'

Fixed it for him.

"Owen Jones Hunsnet is vile - the ultra-right wing views of its members should put it on a Prevent watchlist!"

Testerical is the word, it's very funny though. Sadly if I was put on a watchlist I'd bore the watchers to death.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 10/06/2021 17:57

A group of women organising to protect our sex based rights? How very dare we!
And who'd have thought an internet forum whose user base is primarily female might also discuss those rights? How very dare we indeed.

Bollockstothat · 10/06/2021 17:58

Does anyone care what Owen Jones thinks about anything? I assume they must because he still has a job at the Guardian, but fuck knows who. Apart from Jeremy Corbyn and the other people whose tanking of the Labour Party he cheered on for four years.

Owen, if you're reading this, maybe stick to things within the scope of your competence, like helping to screw up the Unite election.

Winegoing to sit in the sun with mine, and eye roll with some amusement at the impotent misogynistic fury on social media.

Vargas · 10/06/2021 18:01

I unsubscribed from the Guardian because of Owen Jones. He's a misogynist masquerading as a progressive. Revolting man.

BaronessWrongCrowd · 10/06/2021 18:05

Bless his little cotton socks. Is he going to get mumsy to tell those nasty adult human females off for upsetting her precious widdle boy again?

guinnessguzzler · 10/06/2021 18:05

Who? GrinGrinWink

noneedtoexpelme · 10/06/2021 18:10

Just extinction burst in action. Tick tock LOJ.

Erikrie · 10/06/2021 18:11

Does anyone care what Owen Jones thinks about anything?

No. He's so last year. People are rapidly losing interest. And his opinions are based on whimsical fairy dust. Not facts. So dull. Attention seeker that he is.

AuntMasha · 10/06/2021 18:13

Owen Jones is a white, middle-class, middle-aged privileged man.

He is simply a misogynist of the highest order and doesn't believe women are their own entities, only what he believe they are.
LibertyMole · 10/06/2021 18:14

I still find him quite attractive, despite his ramblings.

AuntMasha · 10/06/2021 18:16

But he looks like an ageing 12 year old.

LibertyMole · 10/06/2021 18:21

It’s because he cuts his hair too short. In lockdown when his hair grew out a bit he looked less like a Barron Trump and was quite attractive.

EsmaCannonball · 10/06/2021 18:24

In 1923 Hitler's neighbour's were having an extension put on and the builders kept parking on his drive, crushing his begonias. He visited Mumsnet (well, Muttersnet) to ask for some advice and was told to 'stop being such a wimp,' and to 'grow some bollards.' The rest is history. And if there is one thing Little OJ knows about it is history.

Bollockstothat · 10/06/2021 18:26

He's so last year

Not even that. He's more 2017, or whenever it was the Corbyn cultists pissed away all that money on the Labour Live concert that no-one turned up to. Though seeing his column in the Grauniad is most like that feeling in the late 00s when you saw that Oasis were somehow still touring and you wondered who on earth was paying to see them a decade after they'd last done anything new.
