I knew you'd all be keen to hear them.

"It is the responsibility of a feminist to be progressive, to learn from previous waves but to always be pushing towards a new one. “Feminism must be intersectional. Feminism must not be used to bully and berate both cis women and trans people.”

I mean, read the room, mate.

Jolyon wouldn't be the first progressive man to be bemused that women who agree with him on most things actually have ideas of their own on things that are important to them, like protecting women's spaces.

But reproducing DMs from ten years ago?

That sort of thing can create the - I'm sure, absolutely false - impression that he was trying to get his leg over and is still seething about being brushed off.

@nauticant wow that isn't very good is it? 🤣I think I scratched better into my school desk when I was 13!

JM's dictionary must have a very different defintion of 'generosity' than mine..

He just spelled 'pomposity' wrong.

It’s starting to look like harassment, he needs to give it a rest.

Brefugee · 01/06/2025 15:39

sorry am late to the party. He is batshit and wrong. If we want to learn from previous feminist waves surely the applicable one is 2nd wave feminism.

Which said that everyone should be able to dress and do what they like without having to conform to (socially constructed) gender stereotypes.

We could have saved us a WHOLE lot of bother if we had listened to 2nd wavers.

There is a phrase about giving someone plenty of rope. Presumably for embroidery ?

Brefugee · 01/06/2025 15:54

gosh just seen this on Twitter, while the image loads it is a tweet the text of which reads:

OK I'm calling it: Jolyon Maugham is a sub and his dom is forcing him to let JKR humiliate him

(((Rubie))) on X: "OK I'm calling it: Jolyon Maugham is a sub and his dom is forcing him to let JKR humiliate him" / X

ETA: don't come at me for kink shaming

I wonder if Mr. Maugham knows how to instigate a libel action ?

Brefugee · 01/06/2025 16:27

gosh, that is clearly satire tho - or should i ask MN to delete it?

SionnachRuadh · 01/06/2025 16:27

Meanwhile half of Twitter has an involuntary physical reaction to the mental image of JKR as a dominatrix 😉

I'm not entirely joking, nothing about men's fetishes would surprise me.

‘With great generosity I gave her the opportunity to allow me to reeducate her. The fucking uppity bitch blocked me’

SerendipityJane · 01/06/2025 16:48

With great generosity I gave her the opportunity to allow me to reeducate her.

Is that Maugham or Trump ?

moggly · 01/06/2025 17:04

Rubner is also a creepy DM slider.

'With great generosity comes great responsibility and a windmill with a wine cellar that can stand to be depleted.'

Excellent analysis at a depth that is required for such a situation.

I totally concur 😁

No room, the space has long been occupied by his head.

Yes, it's shameless hypocrisy. I also think Dan Neidle is daft to link himself with the GLP when its front man is in the middle of torching his reputation and becoming a liability/laughing stock

I wanted the laugh emoticon for that one as I lolled - has it gone?

ETA and also for subsequent funny posts!

GreenFriedTomato · 03/06/2025 03:19

Yes, the laugh react was removed yesterday/today?
I thought I was being punished for laughing at a TRA comment but it's been removed for everyone (bullying or something)
Shame because there are some genuinely funny posts here 😂

ThatCyanCat · 03/06/2025 07:32

Apparently it was being used too often as a "scorn laugh". I generally used it for intentionally funny posts but I admit I did also use it on people like that pompous guy who actually cried "shame, shame" on this board at women who didn't want knobs out in the female changing room. Je ne regrette rien.

Hermiaxx · 03/06/2025 08:52

He's on Bluesky whining that she blocked him from sliding into her DMs..

https://bsky.app/profile/goodlawproject.org/post/3lqiphlo6uc25

God he's a creep. Good on her for blocking him. I bet he's never forgiven her for that.

It's so funny the way people lap this shite up on Bluesky. Can they really not see how pompous and insufferable he is?

ThatCyanCat · 03/06/2025 09:00

Hermiaxx · 03/06/2025 08:52

@ThatCyanCat🤣!

To be fair, in that case it wasn't actually a scorn laugh. I genuinely did laugh out loud in reality because it was so funny watching some hapless pillock blunder into a discussion ten years late, see women saying they didn't want dicks out in the ladies', and actually start crying "shame, shame" like a Poundshop Game of Thrones character, and thinking he was so important that we'd give a toss. It was genuinely funny!
