because he's really being ratioed on Twitter

twitter.com/tomhfh and twitter.com/tomhfh/status/1478035571146727425 in particular

He seems to have waded in on the trans/schools row. He isn't listening to the many, many replies and is doubling down in the weirdest way.

Have just watched his interview with KJK. Grin
He literally sneered from the outset, was as pompous an interviewer as I've seen in a long time and just look at him talking over his diplomatic black female co presenter (no doubt trying to protect herself from the likes of him and the trans bullies) as she tried to offer some clarification / additional points about the points about girls and puberty. But was he prepared to listen to a woman? Nope.
Suspect he's up there with James Max as another privileged white male determined to remove safeguarding from girls and women.
What a plonker.

TurquoiseBaubles · 04/01/2022 15:11

And I'm sorry for flooding this thread, but he can't surely be real (presuming this is him, I can't find the full interview).

Just watched the whole interview above. She was absolutely superb and the issues she raised about female puberty really struck a chord with me.

Overprivileged men like Tom have no idea how traumatic female puberty can be. A young girl's whole body changes, she has to deal with periods, being judged on her looks and sexual harassment. No wonder girls's mental health plummets at puberty.

He has no concept of this and only empathy for other males.

LightningJenny · 04/01/2022 15:26

I was thinking last night that all the stuff around James Max had quietened down and how much publicity it had actually achieved for the reality of biological sex.

Then...BOOM!

Scraggythang · 04/01/2022 15:31

All these blokes being shocked and scandalised by Kellie Jay doesn’t make her views any less credible. I hope they roll her out every day to upset and challenge them! It’s very illuminating.

Mercy Muroki Gets it though.

LalalalalalaLand123 · 04/01/2022 15:34

A vile misogynist twat.

heathspeedwell · 04/01/2022 15:42

Yet another man who is so incredibly stupid that he doesn't even realise he's stupid.

As they say in this Jam sketch with the wonderful Julia Davis, "thick people are very good at winning arguments because they're too think to realise that they've lost."

StrifeOfBath · 04/01/2022 15:47

He is really really thick.

His Twitter is full of what he thinks are ‘Gotcha’s but actually illustrate the exact opposite.

Datun · 04/01/2022 15:52

Oh my God, I've just watched the clip with Kelly Jay !! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not sure who has given that man that job, but for the love of God, you're not really helping him. He's like some overworked caricature in a play.

And at the end, when Kellie is stating irrefutable facts about young girls going through puberty, he starts saying being trans is worse, and then when he's clearly getting nowhere with that with his co-host, says well she shouldn't call them men, that's just rude.

Magdalene Berns said I'd rather be rude than a fucking liar. And although I agree 100% with that sentiment, it's notable that years after she said it, men are still trying to dominate us by telling us we're not compliant enough.

And yes, she also said fuck off, you wanker.

KJKM has hit pay-dirt with her USP being simply The Truth.

heathspeedwell · 04/01/2022 15:54

It was very refreshing to see that Mercy Muroki didn't feel the need to pretend to share Tom's views. Another sign of the turning tide.

She's considerably brighter than him, not that he gave her a chance to get a word in edgeways.

Yes. She was careful with her language but clear - yet he roared over her while demonstrating his lack of understanding. Another mediocre male.

Mercy has made her views perfectly clear. Shame she got shouted down, but it least she didn’t make herself look a blustering fool like her co-host.

TheWeeDonkey · 04/01/2022 16:01

Aw poor kid. He looks lile he's barely finished going through puberty himself😂

Mercy Muroki was a breath of fresh air. I'd like to see more from her. She can across as very calm, balanced and intelligent, whereas he just had a very noisy mantrum.

I love how Posey has this effect on men 😂

I see Boy George is having his own diss at JK Rowling on twitter too..... twitter.com/BoyGeorge/status/1478315854278373378

This is what Mercy would have said if he hadn't talked all over her:

Bit late jumping on that bandwagon, Boy.

Georgeskitchen · 04/01/2022 16:10

No idea who this individual is other than yet another male who thinks he can tell women how to feel/think/speak

It's depressing. She's streets ahead of him. And yet she is having to be careful.

Honestly. I've rarely see such a twit. He was even worse than Buttergasp. Absolutely flabbergasted that a woman with bleached blonde hair and lippy wouldn't do what he said.

Although, I'm not surprised he got a little hot under the collar, given that Kellie all but said 'not a word another word out of you, go to your room, and think about what you've done'.

🤣🤣🤣

Good to hear Mercy's views. So telling that he shouted her down as well as Kellie Jay and refused to listen to either of them. As so many people has said, this issue is emboldening men with contempt for women to openly display it - as we see so clearly in Tom's behaviour.

ScreamingMeMe · 04/01/2022 16:19

[quote JoodyBlue]Have to say that Kellie was superb in that interview though and the female co-presenter was good at tempering the bloke, even though he talked over her and had to have the final say. [/quote]
Oh she's so good!

I am so enjoying her making mincemeat out of these idiot men and their non arguments.

Scraggythang · 04/01/2022 16:20

That’s what I love about her! She makes them so angry that their mask slips. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. And she is always unchanged.

No matter how the ‘intellectual feminists’ dislike her, she is effective.

TurquoiseBaubles · 04/01/2022 16:26

The ratios on twitter are really quite extraordinary. Most of his tweets get double figure likes and single figure comments - in fact very little interaction considering he is a blue tick and (allegedly) a serious reporter. All the bonkers ones are getting hundreds of comments, pretty much all negative, and a lot fewer likes.

Has he not noticed? Does he have any concept that he might just possibly be wrong? It reminds me of early LOJ stuff, the refusal to believe that other people might not agree.

It's brilliant to see Kellie getting so much airtime. I really hope someone snaps her up for her own show soon.
