Almost like some of them lack the willingness to listen to, or empathy to understand women on what it's like to live being sexually harassed (or worse) at work, in pubs and bars, at parties, at gyms, in the street, online etc., over several decades of their lives. |  |

Insults, lol. Four years ago you'd have labelled yourself as a snowflake. My sympathies at the difficulties of being a consistent geriatric edgelord. Existentially contradictory. Enjoy getting older! |  | |  |

I’m shocked to discover that this forum isn’t a bastion of women’s rights after all! It’s awkward how it looks like certain fellas on here only care about the the comfort and safety of women so long as it allows them to bash transgender folk. How else do you explain them being Very Concerned about the comfort and safety of women when policing who is in which sports team, public toilet or changing room, while simultaneously being completely outraged by the suggestion that “oi oi pop ‘em out luv” isn’t something most women like to hear at any time, let alone while they’re at work. Double standards, off the scale double standards, which exposes their actual motivation. [Post edited 17 Dec 2022 5:40]

Careful. This looks like Calling Out. Calling Out is bad. Unless, you're, say, having a go at Stokie for being right. Or Callis for what he has for his dinner. Or.... |  |

Barnsley fined £30,000 on 22:45 - Dec 16 by MattinLondon | I wasn’t debating the financial penalty but a couple on this thread seem to think that chant is ok. The financial penalty is immaterial- just don’t chant that. |
Course, and I personally wouldn’t but just found the amount massively surprising. With regards to the difference between that and calling them a w@nker etc…..I’m sure the female physio would prefer to receive that sort of abuse as it wouldn’t be purely because she is a woman and lowest common denominator stuff |  |

Barnsley fined £30,000 on 21:57 - Dec 16 by Ryorry | If it was towards an unknown fan (so not bantz with a friend who the singers knew wouldn't mind) it would have been every bit as much unacceptable. Would you have thought it OK if sung at your partner or daughter? |
Unacceptable, yes. But I was more making a point about the response. You hear unflattering chants aimed at individuals all the time and nothing ever happens. |  |

It's probably not true though, words can have just as much affect as physical trauma especially with regards to mental health. Some people on this thread really need to move into the modern world. SB |  | |  |

Women are still being raped and murdered because some men view them as lesser creatures there to be abused. Maybe some of you need to consider your own attitudes a bit further. I don't think you understand what political correctness means. |  |

Indeed. It’s perfectly acceptable to call the serious sexual assault of women in Köln as “nothing but a bit of bum tickling” |  |

I was told the same, I think to help develop a thick skin and not get upset at everything people said. Which in itself is no bad thing, not being over sensitive to comment/criticism. But the flip side of course is that the saying is utter bollox, clearly. People calling black people "coons" or "wogs" are clearly going to cause upset and hurt. Same with the many homophobic slurs. They do hurt people and tbh they clearly did back in the 70s when they were used without fear of being called out. Now why anyone thinks shouting sexist juviline cr×p at girls or women should be tolerated I don't know. What you think of as banter is almost certainly not seen as banter. Not hard really, though I guess it does require people to consider the impact of their words rather than hiding behind "sticks and stones..." in the belief that is a get out for saying whatever they want. |  |

Barnsley fined £30,000 on 10:48 - Dec 17 with 1763 views | J2BLUE | I think when we're used to seeing very soft punishments handed out to clubs/countries much higher than Barnsley this does seem to have come out of the blue (first offence unless i've missed something) and the fine does seem large. With that said, I have never liked this type of chant. It's unnecessary and they are clearly trying to make an example of Barnsley and hopefully it's message received. Not sure calling the ref a w@nker etc is really on the same level as this. |  |

Based on what we've seen n this league, 'the referee's a w@nker' seems entirely accurate and completely justified. |  |

All opposition to any racial slurs, threatening language or online abuse (that has many times led to suicides) is ridiculous in your world then. After all, they are only words. Man up, hey! If that is a world gone made [sic], perhaps it is good to have the world made. |  |

Barnsley fined £30,000 on 12:34 - Dec 17 with 1574 views | SE1blue | This thread… sheeeeesh. Only adding that over the course of history swearing and insults have changed with society. Those fearing change need to accept that “Get your tits out…” hasn’t been around since the dawn of time and like every other insult/joke before it, needs to disappear when outdated and unacceptable. There’s a good series on Netflix with Nicolas Cage on the history of swearing that would give some context but I’m guessing education isn’t a high priority for those on here needing it. |  |
