Vile smug sneery mind-reading Brendan O’Neill, who sees through everyone’s fake right-on poses and spots the self-flattery underneath – according to him, anyway. now it is positively fashionable, bang on trend, for everyone from top American politicians to Ivy League students to wear a hoodie to show that they “care for Trayvon”. Yet far from [...]

April 5th, 2012 
Ophelia Benson More on O’Neill. (Don’t ask ‘why.’ I’m interested in this kind of thing – the blithe indifference to facts, the perversity, the malice, the lack of responsibility, the should-know-better quality; the smugness, the preening, the bullying on behalf of the already powerful.) on 31 March, atheists in the US military had their first-ever get-together on [...]
How dare you rebel against the tyrant
April 5th, 2012 Ophelia Benson Brendan. At it again. Possibly more indifferent to the facts than ever. I know Easter is traditionally a time when Christians give praise for the rising again of Jesus after his flagellation and crucifixion by the Romans. But this year, in the midst of your Easter egg-eating and possible Mass-attending, try to spare a thought [...]
Have you ever seen Brendan O’Neill and Bill O’Reilly in the same place?
March 22nd, 2012 Ophelia Benson Brendan O’Neill is tearing his hair out in frustration at the mystifying way gay marriage has suddenly puffed up huge and taken over all the things!!11 He just doesn’t understand. He’s baffled. He can’t figure it out. He’s amazed. As I say, nothing in this debate makes sense. This is such a relatively overnight concern, [...]
Definitely disgusting Bren
March 14th, 2012 Ophelia Benson More showoffy pseudo-knowing ”contrarianism” from Brendan O’Neill. This time it’s the daring dangerous idea that libbruls don’t give a shit about gay marriage itself, they just like having a shibboleth to filter out the unhip masses. The speed and ease with which gay marriage has gone from being a tiny minority concern to become the No [...]
Brave contrarian Brendan O’Neill
November 8th, 2011 Ophelia Benson Brendan O’Neill is happy to characterize feminists as stupidly and feebly delicate and hyper-sensitive, and to use (or to allow the Telegraph to use) a 19th century illustration of a vapid woman tipping over to underline his sneer. Would he be equally happy to see other people characterize Irish people as stupid and otherwise contemptible and use [...]
Brendan O’Neill wins the sneering prize
November 8th, 2011 Ophelia Benson Brendan O’Neill sneers again – this time at women resisting misogynist silencing campaigns. One of the great curiosities of modern feminism is that the more radical the feminist is, the more likely she is to suffer fits of Victorian-style vapours upon hearing men use coarse language. Andrea Dworkin dedicated her life to stamping out what [...]
Not to defend the Catholic Church but to smear the New atheists
October 6th, 2011 Ophelia Benson As long as we’re on the subject of Brendan O’Neill…let’s stay on it a little longer. I neglected him last year when he was making contorted attacks on critics of the pope and the Vatican. Allow me to make amends now. He made a heavy-breathing correction to claims of how many priestly rapes there had [...]
