RE: Mozart - why no comments on the second ODI against England?May 30, 2017, 13:34:12
DA, I'm just pointing out that female posters don't need a big strong man to take care of them. They are plenty smart and strong enough to do it for themselves. The fact that you expect them to exist under different set of standards tells me you don't view them as capable of dealing with the same reality 'us' men live in. That IS condescending! Put another way, if the language is not good enough for a woman, it is not good enough for a man either.
As for my high horse....I like the view.
Correct....... I know many strong, intelligent, successful woman
The rest of your post is absolute bollocks
If you and 10 mates are sitting in a pub watching a rugby game using this type of language on your own, it would be seen as "normal" banter between males.
If those same 10 mates are watching that same game in the pub and a man walks in with his young daughter, are you saying you would carry on with that language as per normal?
It seems your take on this is "Well, she came into my pub environment, screw her, why should I stop what I am saying, she must just accept it, and deal with it herself".
Whereas, most men would probably say, guys, tone it down, there is a lady present.
It's not about different standards and it's not condescending..... it's about respect
Hopefully you get it
