Liverpool FC bring Sharon Tuff on board as the club seeks global partnerships

[Catrin]

Take a moment to have a look at @everydaysexism on twitter. It is a project where people worldwide are sharing their experiences of everyday sexism and it really is quite an eye-opener.

The vast majority of the submissions are from women and they range from rude and ill-mannered behaviour to illegal stuff like being groped on public transport or lewd comments being shouted in the street. I was quite shocked because firstly it would never occur to me to behave that way and secondly, how many (effectively) sex-offenders go unpunished.

I'm not equating the comments on this thread with that kind of behaviour but I'm guessing that the people making them are not aware of what their sisters, daughters, wives, girlfriends etc etc are having to endure.

Fair point but I'm sure Alex would've only merged the threads back again if I'd opened one in the chat x3 area about her TITS

Icon would have banned you, without warning

Probably because most people don't report it. I've never reported when I have had my arse grabbed by a woman in a bar even though I did not want them to do it. I would imagine that many women groped on public transport don't bother to report it.

Welcome Sharon Tuff

[Norbs]

And your potentially large chest

[little dave hedgehog]

Ha ha ha ha this is a FOOTBALL website - this is a FOOTBALL thread about LFC management but your talking about what her TITS POSSIBLY look like... Yeah people are going to think this is sexist!! You might not mean it to be - which is kind of my point but it is what it is!!!

As a woman I'm not offended - but it shouldn't stop me challenging your view - it's just the way it is!!

Cheers

with reference to the perving thread, that's a thread in a non-football part of the site where people are admitting to having a gander at anonymous women in every day life, not a thread about some specific business woman's professional life. that's the difference for me. it's one thing to say you like looking at tits, but when a woman who clearly wants to be taken seriously is the topic of discussion, then it's belittling. it's especially bad when the majority of the comments about her appearance are negative. i try not to talk like that, but nobody's perfect.

ps, this is more a response to norbs than servo, but sort of inspired by the quoted post.

So Gary Glitter was fine doing what he did where it was legal. Fair doos

[ChesterDave]

The potentially large chest comment was funny as it had an element of facetiousness to it.

The Gary Glitter line is a little silly though.

no. there are proper ways to express yourself sexually. but that's not what's happening in this thread, or with gary glitter.

It bears comparisons though

[little dave hedgehog]

it really doesn't.

Whatevs

I'm so confused. Chester Dave spends massive amounts of time in titty bars and then talks about it on here. Is that good or bad?
