Gave me a laugh over my coffee anyway 😆 does he remind anyone else of arguments with their little brother? ‘You’re going to lose. Why are you hitting yourself’ etc 😂

Interesting he has never ever once engaged with any of the thousands of points as to why gender ideology is indefensible at best and harmful at worst, it’s always just ‘You’re going to lose… tiny minority… section 28’

Indeed.

He is basically a male supremacist.

Hiding behind 'progressivism' whatever that is supposed to be.

It annoyed me that he regards most gender critical people as obsessed, because their Twitter accounts are about nothing but this one issue. The true reason, of course, is that people need a second account for this issue if they wish not to be drawn, quartered, and hung in public.

I'm not sure that I agree with your reasoning, but I do agree that there is a huge and deep well of misogyny amongst gay men. I don't think straight women really appreciate this.

There definitely is, among some. I remember as a student back in the 70's naively assuming all gay men were my allies because the ones I knew were so lovely.... then I met a bunch of gay Anglican clerical students (I was a theology student, back in the day) who were deeply misogynistic and contemptuous about women, they had a revulsion around women's bodies.

I began to dig deeper in the issue of misogyny in the church (ended up teaching feminist theology) I came to the conclusion that some of the men I cam across seemed to be gay because they were repulsed by women - interesting how many of them seemed to be attracted to roles of power and influence over women, became clergy etc.

Those men who are repulsed by us will never be our allies, in anything.

Yes, there is a minority of gay men for whom repulsion at the female body is as large a driver in the sexuality as attraction to the male form.

Some go into the church, many more go into fashion and textile design where they can castigate women for their bodies and bully them into whittling down their flesh to resemble teenage boys.

We know which list he's on.

I was chatting to Sweary Godmother about this and she thinks we should #BeKind to poor LOJ who’s obviously very upset.

She suggested that we should send support teddies to the Guardian offices for him. Even though he doesn’t work there any more I expect they’d forward them on. I thought rainbow teddies would be nice.

Hmm. A lot of gay boys would enter the Catholic Church when I were a lad . Either to be ' cured' or just to avoid the inevitable questions about marriage, dating etc.

There may be an element of jealousy for straight women. It sounds very 1950s - but did the 50s ever end ?

And there it is...

An irrelevance desperately trying to cling to public attention by championing a minority cause in a way that alienates and offends a sizeable majority of the population.

In short woman cervix-owner hating James Blunt. Someone that deserves all the opprobrium he attracts. With military precision...

I see from my sockpuppet account that he's whining that accusations of misogyny are unfair: apparently if he engages with us we shout at him with accusations of misogyny, but if he blocks us he's accused of misogyny.

Has it not occurred to him that it's his VIEWS that are misogynistic, along with his arrogance in telling women that their thinking is wrong? And that he is a proponent of an ideology that victimises women? No?

"accusations of misogyny are unfair"

whilst continuing to label anyone who disagrees with him as an 'anti trans activist'

In short woman cervix-owner hating James Blunt

What’s wrong with James Blunt, @WalfordBarbwireFence ? He always seemed pretty self-deprecating and decent to me.

Or is it just a rhyming slang thing? (In which case, Jeremy Hunt works well)

I was wondering what the problem with James Blunt was (music aside, obvs).

For the avoidance of doubt; rhyming slang!!

And, yes - with hindsight Jeremy Hunt is both far more apposite and deserving!

I wondered what James had said too

I only know that people call me transphobic whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute

In the wake of this morning’s reports in the Sunday Times on GIDS and the Tavistock, can I just post this little gem that has resurfaced?

One of the most ludicrous things he's ever heard? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he's never listened to any of his own recordings.

I always find the gaslighting element to be the most annoying thing about OJ, Bragg etc. If they just admitted they hated women it wouldn't be quite so bad. It's the relentless attacks on women individually and collectively, the blocking of feminists, the sneering dismissal of women's concerns, combined with the absolute denial that they are misogynists that drive me over the edge (as they are probably intended to). To my mind, if it looks like a misogynist and quacks like a misogynist it probably is a misogynist.

I think they’re so misogynistic they don’t realise they’re misogynistic. In their own minds, the needs of men are so inherently superior to those of women, it’s just a natural way to think. If that makes sense 🤷🏼‍♀️

It does, for a certain group of men. Their worldview is so completely seen as the only correct one and their value rankings as objective, that misogyny does not register as such in their minds. They see themselves as fair and objective, because they do not examine their own biases in this context.

Motion seconded!

I normally wouldn't celebrate seeing a human unravel but I'll make an exception for OJ. Today he's comparing 'Women's rights' to the KKK because Birth of a Nation ...
Dan Hodges has told him he's an idiot who vilifies women's rights campaigner as far right. I hate he makes me agree with Dan Hodges.
It's quite hard to follow on twitter because obv I'm blocked, but I get the impression he's reaching the end of the road. Wrong side of history too many times. He's lost all credibility, he's just become a joke.

To be fair to the boy Jones I did in my cups once enquire of him whether or not he was as big a James Bl-....er...Jeremy Hunt in real life as he is on TV and radio and I as yet remain unblocked on his Faceberk.

I can't believe I just said "fair" and "[Owen] Jones" in the same sentence. My standards are slipping. And they were lower than a snakes belly in a tyre rut to start with.
