Opinion Commentary & Media II

[Val Keating]

Off topic, anyone know why we are f.t.a. on ch. 7 Sunday. Will be 4th game they have televised.

Because of bye or because * home game ?
Was going to listen to the wireless.

Means they don’t have today on

This isn’t about moral outrage this is about someone making completely inappropriate comments on air, free speech is not the issue you can say what you want, doesn’t mean consequences won’t follow.

100%. Man makes sexist comments get sacked. “But what about guys that didn’t get fired 10 years ago?”. Spare me.

I can see where you're coming from guys but I think she's just making a thought-provoking comment here, nothing more.

What an absolute joke of an article. Embarrasing for the writer to even write that crap.

We should report him for vilification! Lol.

It provoked my thought that she is an idiot

That's sexist mate. Would have been OK to say that if it were a male writer

Incorrect. Idiots can be both male and female. Don’t be sexist.

If you refer idiot to a male, it's taken with a grain of salt. Use that to describe a female and you open yourself up to all sorts of consequences

And to be clear, male or female, the two correct tweets on the issue are as follows

1: Barry Hall is a moron that shouldn’t be seen or heard from again

2: well done to triple m for so quickly terminating the employment of Barry hall for his terrible comment. It shows how far the industry has come.

Sorry, I don’t understand. Are you arguing for a double standard?

Agree.
Point 3 should be, issue has been promptly dealt with. Nothing else to see here.

Not arguing for, stating that there is one

Oh sorry. For sure. I was having this discussion with a group of female friends the other day as it is somewhat of a passion of mine.

The double standards on various gender issues when we are striving for equality is mind boggling.

Be sure to not open the door for them. You never know what reaction you'll get

And apparently some of them now hate chivalry so don't defend them from unwarranted advances.

No I'm not joking. To them it is making them damsels in distress instead of being a good bloke.

Open the door for them and your sexist, and making unwarranted advances as you say.

Yeah as a middle aged middle class white male I reckon I’m the victim here.

To be honest in my opinion it’s a minority of men (the bigger problem) and a minority of women (more an annoying problem) at either end of the spectrum that cause the issues.

Men that go out to bash or rape women should just be shot. So should men that go out to assault and murder other men. We are all people and we all deserve respect.

 

[Orange Peanut]

On Hall, there's this.

I understand her skepticism. But I disagree with it. I truly think things are finally changing.
Let’s hope so.

Ironically enough men in their 20’s and 30’s are the the target demographic for being murdered.

Doesn't make it any more unlikely to turn me off being nice to people. That third wave feminism s**t, thinking that it is all about being better than other people.

Something can't be a sexual assault if it didn't happen.

Technically true. Just as making a joke about raping someone is clearly not actually raping someone but it is still making a joke about raping someone. It is, therefore, making a joke about sexual assault. Kind of like talking about grabbing women by the pussy. It doesn't make you a rapist to talk that way, but it does make you a s**t human being.

If things were truly changing then Montagna should be gone too. He is the teflon man.
