Caroline Wilson is a hypocrite

[Enviable Tradition]

I have heard her make two comments in the last 2 days.

1. On radio, women are better at multi tasking than men.
2. On Footy Classified, women are better at saying sory than men.

Are these comments sexist?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Women are also better at cooking and cleaning.

It's true.

 

[blackhead&boil]

I was stunned that she would say that given everything that's been said in relation to sam newman and sexism. I'm not offended by the comments themselves, but by her horrendous double standards on the issue. she wants to have her cake and eat it, too.

perhaps sam should come out on thursday night and say that he was offended on behalf of all men??

I bet Caro does takeaways. Then bins the mess.

Yeah precisely, i should clarify that i wasn't offended, just as you said annoyed at the double standards.

Surely people can see the difference between the two? Caroline made two comments in a light hearted way without trying to denigrate any specific person while Sam attempted to humiliate her. Any males take offence to either of the statements she made?

If you get offended by that than you must be pretty damn sensitive.
Caro was obviously saying it tongue and cheek, but lets be honest has Craig hutchison ever apologised to anyone? no. because he is a douche

 

[huggy_b]

Do men actually listen to what woman have to say? I just feign interest - women are generally boring creatures.

men are better at not taking offence.

Yes but sam was not criticised for being offensive or personal (and lets face it he is offensive to pretty much everyone). He was criticised for being sexist.

 

[frantelle]

but there is all this complaining about womans place in afl (im not opposed) then she goes and says something stupid which creates another division of the 2 sexes
i dont think i have ever heard her say one rational and logical thing in her life

Once again i am not being sensitive, i am not offended. It is just double standards. Are you saying Sam can generalise in any way he likes about women so long as it is tongue in cheek? I doubt it.

1. Yep, women can do lots of things at the same time, poorly, while Men can do one thing at a time well.

Also women can't read maps (Gatherers) but men can (Hunters)

2. Hahahah, yeah right. Women are better at not saying sorry.

Well that's rubbish. Men don't read maps. We already know where we're going.

I don't know about you guys, but I seem to spend a lot more time saying sorry that my girl...

 

[Monocle]

So who decides when its tongue in cheek ? I think that is the pertinent point.

Carro wants to banter with the BOYS but also want to be treated as an exception because she is female.
Thats ok but she belittles her stance against sexism, by engaging in the same sexist jokes, that she despises .

Sorry you cant have it both ways. You cant indulge in sexist jokes and at the same time be offended by them. Depending of if you are making the joke or the butt of it.

Her jokes are harmless to me , but do they offend others ? That the question !!!!!

not harm
but she shits me in that she complains about it then reverts to it
she is a dud
i hope she reads this

 

[stabler]

i don't have any real problem with caro. i don't neccessarily agree with her that women are better at apologising than men - like the poster before me i always seem to be saying sorry for something or other with the gf - but come on, trivial comments like that are nothing to get too worked up about. i think she often gets a bit too much flak from her male counterparts in the media, particularly hutchy, but she wears it most of the time. And she did apologise for calling dutchy holland a useless footballer

 

[Whacker]

And anything sam newman does isnt tongue in cheek???

Apparently it's only sexist if you put women down, the same way as it's only racist if you make a disparaging comment about a person on the basis of their race, but if you say "Gee I like those Aboriginal footballers, they bring a lot of excitement to the game" then it's okay.

I also found it quite amusing that she was the first to have a go at Jeff Kennett for "kicking a club while it's down" after his comments about Melbourne. I'm sure many Kangaroos supporters will agree that Wilson was a pro in that department late last year.

 

[celtic_pride]

Hypocrisy (and stupidity) Caro style -

She has a go at Brett Ratten for having too many Carlton 'ex-players' involved in the coaching/staff, when really there is only one full-time one who works as development down at the Bullants (matty Lappin) Craig Bradley and Greg williams help out part time ..
And then she has a go at Terry Wallace and Richmond for nothing having any ex-Richmond players involved at the club, in any official capacity, apart from Flea Weightman ..

The poor trollop contradicts herself nearly each week, and also Caro, why the crap did shy seem to ask so many questions about Freo to Cuddles last night, when he now works at Melbourne ???

Yeah, when Hawthorn hit the skids in 2004 and had our year from hell, Caroline Wilson was vitriolic in her attacks on our club. Many journos seemed to delight in our fall, but she was the worst. Her weekly article became a regular "let's kick the hawks in the head" feature.

This year, many Hawthorn players have made an effort to curry favour and be nice to her, yet she turns around in the same article and digs up that druggy innuendo from last year.

Nice one, Caro. You're a real class act.

We should take lessons in how to behave from you...
