Our side of the story
For some reason, just out of the blue, I have the impulse to quote from this Glinner post from May last year…
Not content with bullying his female colleagues, Owen Jones has moved on to schoolgirls. The Times ran with this shocking story today, that has surely peaked anyone who happened upon it. A young girl resisted the gender woo emanating from a visting misogynist member of the House of Lords at her (Stonewall-affiliated) school and was in turn surrounded by 60 schoolmates who “shouted, screamed and spat at her”. The traumatised girl has been forced to leave school.
“Not nearly good enough!” says the Goebbels of LGBT Inc.
Who used Twitter to summon the mob at the girl’s school to tell him, Owen Jones, “their side of the story.”
Traumatised she may be, but Owen feels the young woman requires a national platform on which to be shamed and harangued out of her rights. Private Eye has had stories in two consecutive issues about Jones bullying women and Guardian staffers having to do emergency sessions with crisis hippies/support dogs.
But he’s still there, still bullying women, while the Guardian beseeches us to tell them about our experiences of misogyny online.
I got to meet that courageous young woman at the LGB Alliance conference in October. When she told me exactly what they did to her and how traumatized she was by it — details I can’t share online — I had to excuse myself to the bathroom and weep.
I hope they fire Owen Jones.
Oh, Arty, that poor young woman!
Owen Jones’ behaviour is utterly evil. I’m really glad he’s being proposed as the face of online misogyny in comments under the Guardian’s misguided post on Twitter.
