Pet Peeves

Ah no, I just think using a fails compilation as something that's completely representative of womens football is a bit ridiculous. I don't see the point of constantly comparing it to the mens, it happens to such a massive degree more than other sports. Like I've never heard anyone going "ah yeah, Serena Williams is alright, but she wouldn't last a match against Federer, why would anyone bother watching her?"

You don't like women's soccer. Don't watch the fucking thing. Fucking state of the last few pages.

Jaysus lad, calm down or you'll pop an ovary.

God bless them, except for that bulldyke Rapinoe in the news again moaning about unequal pay, AGAIN.

YOU GENERATE LESS MONEY THEREFORE YOU RECEIVE LESS MONEY.

International soccer is chump change compared to the club game, and the Americans are an outlying exception. For Trev.

The US women's team generate the same, or more, than their men's over the last few years

Having watched the men's game last night I'd nearly welcome it.

The fails are slightly more spectacular all the same.

Speaking of tennis, that's an interesting one. I've often wondered about how the women can be looking for the same prize money as the men but they don't want the 5 sets, but then how much revenue are they responsible for? I don't know but it could be an argument for their case

Wow after getting the new post warning it appears caomhaoin has already opened the door to the discussion

Over the last few pages, some of the posts read like certain members could genuinely do with working out some past female relation issues. Rancor, meanness of spirit, hardly becoming of any kind of "masculine" ideal.

I think posters who come to the defence of women almost exclusively could iron out a few past issues themselves.  Any criticism of women is like a bat signal to these idiots except instead of a bat signal its a white horse signal.

Women can defend themselves from the likes of you. Men who indulge in bitter-toned resentment come across as petty, small-minded individuals. It's worth over-coming, and has zero to do with being "right." Eagles, lambs, all that kinda archetype stuff Peterson robbed and that is apparently so helpful; if you can't rise above...

Do we not all love women?

Apparently not. I can only go from my experience with people I know. And a certain percentage have a very bitter or negative view of women. It's conditioned I think, sad really that they can't outgrow it.

[astfgyl]

That's awful for the poor fuckers. Seriously.

You'll paint anybody with fair criticism of women (in this case its about women's soccer) as misogynistic pigs. Garnish that with word salads and you've got your stereotypical needle dicked ideologue desperately seeking female approval.

saying that the women's soccer isn't as technically advanced as the men's game is like saying the Irish like the drink more than (google time...) the Egyptians. It's a bit of a stereotype and a bit of a sweeping generalisation but mostly true. I don't think anyone calls into question their commitment or how much we all appreciate the fact that women exist. Besides, all of the professional women players would both outplay me and kick the fuck out of me so the criticism of professional sportspeople from an armchair fanatic such as myself should be something they are immune to, regardless of how unbelievably good their fails compilation is. Give em a few years and they will certainly catch up I've no doubt about it but have we seriously reached the point where we can't make a few shitty and somewhat unsubstantiated jokes about others to mask the underlying pain of our rotten existences? That's sad that there is actually a real argument around that.

On topic I'm pretty peeved that my 12 year old son beat me 9 - 6 in a game down the park earlier and the excuses were flowing out of me... it's just these shoes... it's just I haven't played in a few months... it's just that you're used to that ball... it's just etc

And also, do we really want to exist in a future where the women are exactly the same as the men? I'm sure loads of men are good at traditional woman stuff too but there is nothing wrong with different sexes having different skill sets. It's the differences that make me love them so and I know plenty of women who feel the same way about blokes, they don't want their fella to be a knitting whizz, they want him to bring in the coal and that fucking extension isn't going to build itself, my love. How do you like your sex withheld and my face like thunder and so forth...

The death of common sense and the sensibility to know when a load of shite is a load of shite is pretty fucking lamentable in this current push for equal everything. Everyone's an individual and that must be celebrated rather than discouraged by constantly eating the flavourless blancmange of equality. Equality of opportunity would be more to the point than the current next-level load of bollix we are served daily in the la la land that is the internet. Of course we all know this or at least I hope we do outside of the debating practice we have going here.
