Why isnt this a scandal ?

[tiger_tough]

I too am outraged

 

[gambinotosserflog]

I dont find it offensive

but if you just changed a tiny detail ... others mighty

your obviously dying for someone to ask you what that detail is...so just tell us.

 

[Morro]

You wouldnt do that to Morro

he would

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Seriously OP if you're offended by this I'd suggest avoiding asking your Mum where you came from as you may need to lay down afterwards.

 

[Carringbush2010]

It means she is a object. A stocking.

I personally dont give a ****ing crap and am not actually outraged. Im just outraged at the inconsistency of it all.

Now< that you've pointed out what you're really thinking.

Could've said this in the first place instead digging holes for yourself comparing this to the gws thingy.

The op title doesn't help either.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from.

gws thing - media and staffer being oversensitive

Heeney's missus 'treated' like an object - crickets and tumbleweeds.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

You didn't witness what the GWS players did.. so how could you be offended by it?

2nd hand outrage

[Osho]

This is crass and probably worse then what the GWS players were told off for but apparently this is funny and not worth worrying about? Seems a odd double standard to me.

I guess one is well liked by the media and the others are not. That simple

Geewizz, they look so perfect, utterly.

I just hope she turned up to her big dance.

He’s done well for himself.

A good looking couple

 

[Freddy Swift]

A good looking couple

Yes they are, but is she that desperate to become a wag that she will allow him to demean her like that? I thought the AFL was all about respecting women?

allow him to demean her

An awful lot of assumptions there.

 

[Freddy Swift]

An awful lot of assumptions there.

Oh, such as?

 

[Devington]

Oh, such as?

That she thinks it's demeaning or that it wasn't her idea lol

 

[Mr Meow]

Oh, such as?

That she is desperate to be a WAG.

That she considered that photo demeaning.

 

[Freddy Swift]

Okay I can see your points, but am I missing something here? What is the meaning behind the photograph?

you're suggesting women have no agency or that they can't (heh) poke fun at themselves. enough with the hand wringing political correctness. if you think that women aren't/can't be crude, you're laughably naive.

It's a light hearted joke between a couple who have this thing called sex. They thought the t-shirts were funny as they relate to Christmas and the act of having sex, hence why they posted the picture at Christmas time

 

[Freddy Swift]

As a grandmother in my 60’s, I’m from a different era. I know it’s the 21st century but shouldn’t some things be kept private? It may have been meant as a joke but it’s a bit of a tasteless one.

Rest assured gambinotosserflog I am certainly not ‘hand wringing’ over this and I can be as politically incorrect and crude as the next person when I want to be.

If the young woman is happy for this photo to be out there that’s fine. I wonder what her ‘oldies’ thought about it?

 

[Mofra]

My Christmas stocking only likes me as a friend

It was just a silly joke, they didn't make a sex tape.

No one was harmed in the production of the photo.

 

[PoppedCorn]

She allowed him to demean her?

lol

yeah thats what happened

 

[justlookingaround]

The fact that this thread exists tells me there are a fair few people that genuinely don't understand the GWS controversy.
And you know what? If you're genuinely too dumb to understand the difference between a sex joke and a rape joke then I can understand being confused as to why GWS's mad monday resulted in a scandal.

Unfortunately consent is hard for some people to grasp

a player openly bragging about inserting christmas presents into a lady's vagina is not a good look. afl needs to act.

I'm guessing Kris Kringle isn't big in their household
