Doing the punditry for the Swindon v Man City game is the sister of Sone Aluko so I have been reliably informed. |  |

Judging women pundits on how pretty they are, rather than on how insightful they might be.
Suggesting a male footballer should feel embarrassed because his sister has achieved more than him. I imagine he's bursting with pride.
This thread is mired in sexism |

You appear to be the only person who has taken it that way. |  |

Being eclipsed by his little sister is a cross that Sone has had to bear through his career, sadly. |
On the other hand, as he seems to be a genuinely good bloke, he may be really pleased for her and proud of what she has achieved. |  |

Eni Aluko has suffered enough racist and sexist abuse from privileged white men throughout her career, and I'm sure she would consider the comments from privileged white men on here as being sexist.
I'm sure most of you can see my point of view, but unfortunately, you aren't big enough to admit it. |  | | |

OK it was a comment and not a judgement.
Glad to hear you think she is insightful, in addition to her being a pretty, little lady.
However, your comments and the comments of others in this thread, can easily be construed as being sexist. |
I wouldn’t say ‘easily’. You would have to try a bit. |  | | |

But he didn't call her a pretty little lady. You've made that up.
You have started from a particular position and have spent your time reinventing everyone's words for them desperately trying to make it all fit. |  |

Only some?
I remember there was a big number of people (particularly on here) last summer ridiculing him, his arrival and the decision to sign him up.
He's been a 7M player not so long ago. |
You said some.
I agreed. | |

Just for starters, do you know the people who've made those comments away from this forum? If not you've made some pretty big assumptions yourself - that they're "privileged" "white" and male.
I'm female btw. |  |

He said she was a pretty lady and mentioned how short she was, so it amounts to the same thing. | | | |

Commentators frequently mention how players who went on to become great were released from academies for being too short. It's no secret that height is an attribute that gives you an advantage when trying to make it as a player. | |

So? I think Tomas Holy is a good-looking guy, and my fav player of all time, Eric Gates, was often referred to as "small", "diminutive" etc - not to mention the "low centre of gravity" jokes being endlessly recycled about the shorter great footballers of the world admiringly referred to on BBCR5l 'World Football phone-in'. | |

Excuse me, Hi, I was looking for TWTD but appear to have logged onto Twitter.
Could someone point me in the direction of where someone isn’t trying to pick unnecessary fights with innocent strangers. |  |

Glad you still have nothing to contribute.
I find Ashley Cole pretty and short but I already knew that and the thread wasn't entitled Adam Cole. In future, in case you are reading, I will try to balance ay comment I make about a female with equal comment that I might observe about a male in the same context.
Oh, and for full balance, I don't find Ashley Cole especially insightful.
I trust you will not make any comment about any male without balancing it with equal comment about a female for fear of being sexist! |  |

The point I'm making, which you're all missing (deliberately in my opinion), is that the comments on this thread come across as being sexist. I'm not accusing any one of being deliberately sexist, but they should consider how their posts are perceived. I have nothing further to say on this matter.
Let's hope for a good performance and three points this afternoon. | | | |

The word "further" is fairly superfluous.
As has been pointed out, you have to work hard to see it as sexist. If you are unable to comment on anyone's height, the fact they are attractive, who their brother is, the fact they have done better than their brother or get someone's names wrong, then fair enough the whole thread is laced with inappropriate, sexist comments and should be pulled. Feel free to report the relevant posts as abuse and get Phil to pull it.
I do think you are the only one who has read it as sexist, though.
Let's hope for a good performance and three points tomorrow afternoon. | |

Whilst it can be hard to read the tone of posts, esp where there aren't any emojis exclamation marks etc. to help, I can't see anything definitive in what's written in any posts on the thread to describe them as "sexist". You've read between the lines & that's your take, which is subjective.
You earlier described the thread as "sexist thread of the year". Seriously, it isn't! And whilst the occasional bit of casual sexism does still creep in here, the entire forum has come on leaps & bounds over the past 10 years in rejecting it and other, far worse sexism that used to get posted on here. I think big kudos is due to Phil, Gav & the vast majority of posters on here for that 👠| |

The point you are missing is that you're the only one saying this. Literally no one else has agreed with you. Maybe you are wrong? | |
