Given that Bob Vylan are likely to face some pretty serious repercussions and this chap has also been given a ban, it would seem like you can't make a sexist joke or wish death to the IDF

And that's ok


He won’t.

You can wish death to the right kind of people at a popular music festival,but can’t joke anymore.

Take me back to the 1970’s Carry On Films and the like.

The World has gone nuts.


well clearly you can't, hence a couple of ipswich lads now being one of the main news headlines.

you can joke, just don't be racist or sexist, did you ever leave the '70s carry on film world?

as an old bloke once said:

don’t criticize what you can’t understand. your sons and your daughters are beyond your command, your old road is rapidly agin’. please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand, for the times they are a-changin’

Sorry Benters but your first line is cobblers on both counts.

You can joke, I saw someone do it on my TV just last night. You can also make some pretty edgy jokes, take Jimmy Carr for instance he has made a career out of it.

And whilst you can also wish death to 'the right kind of people', it's not without consequences. Bob Vylan is going to be investigated by the police for his comments.

Carry On was pretty funny though and the world has gone nuts, just not for the reasons you have given.

You've never left the 1970s.

I suspect you'd feel very different if you were a woman but then I also don't expect you to have the nuance to understand that.

Given that Glastonbury have apologised for their behaviour and BBC are unlikely to give them too much air time anymore, they're also seemingly facing being banned from the US, I'd say they're already seeing the repercussions

Oi Benters, what you reckon the punishment should be for wishing death to the 'right kinda people'?

I'm not sure about this particular instance (cause I've not been bothered to watch the vid ). But I think you've got a point about us not being able to joke anymore.

Back in the day, our differences were often things we joked and had the craic about. Now we don't dare joke about them and there now a reason to hate each other

I'll happily agree with you if you can explain the "joke" in this statement that does not involve invoking memories of Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson etc, although in fairness to them, at least you knew what kind of comments to expect from them, this bloke is a football manager in the 21st centuryy

"More women refs now, so you have to pay a bit more respect, do you know what I mean? You have to pay a bit more respect, like help them park."

I imagine it is found funny by some, but unfortunately that says more about those entertained by it. It's about context, he was asked about the rise of women referee's in the game and chose to undermine them, subtley, but still undermined.

I await the "I bet you're fun at parties" or "it was just a bit of banter" kind of responses, but I have two daughters and two granddaughters, and certainly my daughters face this kind of shi-ite daily through their lives, and I was hoping that my granddaughters would face less of it, but it actually seems to be getting worse.

It starts with this type of casual "banter" but it is misogyny, which then encourages deeper and darker undertones of sexism towards women.

I agree a six game ban is harsh, until you realise the history and the amount of times he has been pulled up by the FA - but he doesn't care, he's rich and is treating the club like a personal toy and seems to take delight in headline seeking and causing offence.

Feel free to disagree with me.

It's acually a fact that men generally have more difficulty seeing things right in front of them than women do, but we are also better at seeing things at distance. It's evolutionary and stems from hunter/gatherer times, when the men would be the hunters and would need to see prey at a distance. So it's actually not offensive or belittling to teach it - it's scientific fact.


What are the scientific facts about overall gender trends on spatial awarness?

Not what I said was it. My comment was specifically towards his 1970s comment. If you read the thread you'll see I've made no reference at all about the comment on the video.

As for the world, it's moved on from you banter boys and for the majority of people it's for the better.

I think quite a few people are bored of the "won't someone think about the white male, we can't be offensive like we could before" narrative.

If your world is boring because of the above then I suggest that's more about you than it is the world.
