AFL Women's Week

[mark73]

Why doesn't Netball have a Men's round, and a game dedicated to Prostate Cancer?

Notice the trend ... along with the homosexual 'awareness' from a few weeks back in the AFL, you would think that the league is anti-white-heterosexual-male.


Because of all the white straight men playing in the league?

I think we all get the point Crow,

I think that was his point.

Judging by your knuckle dragging, misogynist rhetoric, I am going to assume that you are a straight white male. Sit back and think mate, you have hit the jackpot genetically, although I fear that you may have missed out somewhat intellectually. Most of the world is focussed on and run by Caucasian straight men, you guys do okay. I think a little recognition, albeit somewhat of a token attempt, at acknowledging minorities is a good and positive thing for the game.

And how's all that power and privilege working for all those blessed, straight white blokes? What a cliched, outdated, caricature you present. Dying years earlier than their less privileged sisters. Dying in the workplace. Killing themselves at four times the rate of their oppressed sisters. Yep, the white boys have got it all going their way. Sitting in power, making sure all their straight ,white brothers are being taken care of.

There's nothing wrong with these moments of recognition for our indigenous players and women. There's plenty wrong with the lack of recognition of the many things that oppress men in our society. It's all one way traffic as I have already said. This is what causes some people to overreact to special footy rounds like those mentioned. You know-straw on the camel's back.

Jesus, what century is this? Can't believe some of the rubbish I'm reading in this thread.

Mr. Crow, you and your ilk are a blight on our country. Just suck it up and live with it, and enjoy the 20 other rounds, as well as the past two thousand years of history, being dominated by white, straight men.

 

[Wagamama]

There are 25 rounds dedicated to men every year. For 1 round you thank women who make AFL possible. Where else do the players come from? Helllooooo?
This thread is funny.

And all those netballers wouldn't be running around if it weren't for all the daddies out there!

The AFL media reporting resembles Womens Weekly. Womans week makes sense.

Would definitely go to the Women's Event thingo this weekend if I wasn't going to Sydney for a little holiday the same weekend. I think it'd be a great place for us football-loving girls to connect.

I don't value the Woman's Round. What it's saying is "you're different from us, here, here's some compensation". No, Mr Demetriou, we aren't different. Female fans do not want to be reminded that it's a man's game.

Take the f*cking token and stick it up your a$$.

And to the majority of the posters here - I really hope you're joking. If you aren't, have a really serious look at yourself.

Damn straight, I'm with you Evelyn.

You go girl.

A deserving final word.

As for the 'get me a cold beer, love' faction, If you want to troll, go to the Bay.
