I know it's painful when this happens. But I am so sick of people who I have never criticised in any way painting my actions in the worst possible light. I won't fucking stand for it anymore. You saw what I found in my letterbox today. By saying I 'instigated a pile on' rather than, say, 'responded to something in an unhelpful way', she adds to the picture that has been succesfully painted of me by trans rights activists and by fucking woke media right up to Newsnight (which, remember, also went for Suzanne Moore in much the same way) and 90% of the people who are not paying attention to this issue know only that there is a stink around me. A stink caused by trans rights activists and their unconscious accomplices.

And to again remind everyone, I'm not pulling the 'grooming' thing out of nowhere. https://youtu.be/8s8_zUyESlE

Queer theory, which has absolutely taken over our institutions, including institutions like the NSPCC and Girlguiding, institutions which are supposed to be protecting and empowering children and young girls, are following the half-understood, constantly shifting dictates of Judith Butler, and the rest of those fucking thought-hippies who believe imagining a perfect world creates one.

There is no such thing as a perfect world for everyone. Because a perfect world for paedophiles is not a perfect world for children. By blurring boundaries and confusing ordinary people who want to do the right thing, the implementation of Queer Theory across society makes it harder to recognise and combat very real threats to women and children. This is out in the real world right now causing havoc. Children are being affected by it. And I don't care how many great insights Faocault had, his antecedents are a bunch of fucking nonce-enablers.

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve criticised them or not they’re defending their empty space which takes huge mental gymnastics and a load of logical fallacies and must be exhausting to do unless someone is just so thick as to not see it and to get to and they will be trying to seem reasonable by shafting you (or anyone) because you mean nothing to them. Once you accept that it’s very empowering SAY. WHATEVER. YOU. WANT. They ARE complicit in women’s erasure and child abuse. All their degrees are going to look a bit silly eh? See the problem they have? Their whole lives, careers and privilege are based on dangerous bullshit. “How very dare you....” Keep speaking truth to power. I for one really appreciate it. Quite happy to come to the UK and bang some heads together, berate some more individuals and give them a damn good dressing down (figuratively that is) post Covid as well and when YOU do get to speak at Oxford Union.😂 Track that poxy (literally) neighbour down. Nothing worthwhile was ever achieved only by debate. Mind you I’m in NZ and “they” have just discovered we’ve been trafficking and abusing children (which we all knew) to “save money” and do things “cheaply” (for men) and our overlords to the extent of over quarter of a million victims. Tip of the iceberg really so I feel your rage. This gender shit is a sophisticated cover job for paedophiles and perpetuates the war on women and our children and is institutionalised.There’s nothing good about it and it deserve’s fucking denouncing in very plain and blunt terms.

Oh FFS this is totally unnecessary and so very unfair. Why drag this up from ages ago? She had an issue with your comment, you deleted it. (I've always greatly admired the way you will listen and defer to someone else's point of view. Whereas I'd be inclined to go with "Fuck off, I wrote Father Ted!" you always have the grace and integrity to alter your position and respect the opinion of others.) I hope you know how many of us are truly grateful to you for amplifying our voices and fighting our corner. You could have kept quiet, left us to it, and had an easy when things got difficult. But you didn't. Your courage and selflessness are so very much admired and respected.

Hear, hear.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you, Graham. Kathleen Stock was part of a pile-on against Posie Parker and then another against Louise Moody. I don't know what motivates such behaviour but I am really sorry that you are the latest victim.

I hold both Graham and Kathleen in very high regard and think this is very sad. We shouldn't be walking on eggshells with each other or with "pigs in wigs". (The Hayden issue is related because it's okay to insult.)

Middle class academics are such self absorbed, moral cowards. Just put it down to that. They always manage to disappoint with their half arsed efforts and views. A reflection on them not you. We see them. The battle has only gone on for a thousand years 😀.Probably won’t be won overnight. Although I am hoping for the 100th monkey effect and the penny dropping quite quickly. Given that will mean women’s labour and unpaid labour will have to be calculated I can’t see the bean counters in their unreal realms letting that happen as it is such a truly remarkable oversight in economic calculations to input into economies its heinously telling isn’t it? And threatens male dominance and enslavement and use of of women’s labour worldwide. So as I say it takes a bit of courage people don’t have to point out the glaringly obvious and most people shy away from reality to avoid the cognitive dissonance it causes them. You’re just collateral damage to them and it’s a cheap shot with no ability for you to defend yourself. Try not to sweat it. “Awww look it’s an arsehole!”

Could you contact her directly and say you assume she’s misremembered?? You’re right to feel thrown under a bus - it’s a public forum and yes, it is defamatory.

Please, Graham. I know it is difficult. You and Dr Stock are really exposed... All the more reason not to raise unimportant issues? There is much, much more that unites us than divides us (where did I hear that? I can't remember, but it reminds me of left-wingers falling out with each other since time immemorial). Sorry. Una

If someone posted an untruth/lie about me, I would not consider it to be an "unimportant issue" no matter how many friends/people declare it to be unimportant.

Defamation wouldn't be unimportant to me. In fact, if he ignores it, it will undoubtedly get worse. Ignore the trolls is terrible advice, for the most part. Women were told to do that when the internet started, are still being told to do it, and as a result nearly every space online is a free for all against women. If they stop shitting on him, and lying about him, he won't have to counter their lies with facts.

Watching the current "The Mess We're In" Graham mentions receiving a threat through his letterbox this week. So it's not "unimportant". There are dangerous people who think they're on the side of right and good making threats to anyone who notices that material reality exists.

What goes around comes around. Just stay on the right side of history cos the wheels are definitely wobbling a bit! We are all here for you.

Like that wanker needs anyone to "instigate" a pile-on 🤣

Another bellicose shit-stirrer who gets off on the infamy. Fuck him and FUCK HER. Obviously trying to protect her shitty little publishing arrangement. She's bad for feminism; I've learnt to distinguish which women are genuinely in it for each other and which women are motivated by misandry.

Stock is in the latter category. The jury's in. It's not even a debate. You're sadly an exhibit of her HATRED for MEN manifesting.

In second place is Joanna Cherry. She's a cauldron of poisonous hate and as I'm English AND male, I'm not exactly expecting an invite to brunch anytime soon. Thankfully 🤣

Sorry, Graham, I know you're not a fan of Brexit but I am and to see her attempted Brexit coup d'état die on its arse was magnificent 😉

The schadenfreude was off the charts! 😜
