UK captains of industry have charity night where they sexually assault young female 'hostesses'

[kabbes]

Every time I think Sas has scraped the barrel of one-dimensional thinking, he manages to go deeper.

 

[Santino]

I'd like to apologise to the whole thread for using the word 'cunt', for when I called that cunt a cunt just now.

'Within every grown man is a small boy desperately trying to get out'.

Piss the fuck off with this and stop rationalising your own stupidity by pretending all men are as stupid as you.
EtA, I sort of want to apologise for the cursing but really, you do deserve it sometimes.

So put some boys on the grid in pants

Here you go: one for the ladies.....

 

[DotCommunist]

the heady aroma of reaction. I'm also getting hints of 'myth of the level playing field'.

its true to say that men are not judged on standards of beauty in the same way as women. Not with the same social weighting nor with the same historical baggage. To claim that 'we are all judged' in some banal apolitical truism, well how thick is that. Would one care to apply that to say, skin colour? Well we are all judged so y'know, its just that. Nothing else to see here. Certainly we can't look beyond oh noes burqa by the back door or some shit. Have a word

a shit one.

You could use tht analogy to do away with any and all paid work...oh wait...that's probably what you want.

Bored today?

Don't you want to do away with useless toil?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

No, that's not my argument at all. there are other ways to change the message delivered to girls as they grow up that don't invovle hiding women.

Where have you got this 'hiding women' thing from?

To go back to the cricket example from earlier, you have two leagues: in India, there's a men's competition with female cheerleaders; in Australia, there is a men's match, which comes directly after a women's match. Messages: in the former, girls, you can be a cheerleader; in the latter, girls, you can be a cricketer.

Useless troll would be fine.

Just having a look around me at work, no useless toil going on here.

ok, so the problem is that there aren't enough messages for girls. There's nothing wrong with being a cheerleader, the problem is the lack of other messages. So get your daughter into karting or cricket or whatever she wants to do rather than tellig other people what they can't do anymore.

LOL , I am a bit.....4 o clock blues.

 

[Sasaferrato]

There are certainly loads who'll put in the 'not acceptable' disclaimer then reach straight for the 'but...'

There is no defensible 'but'. Being serious for a moment, rather than the 'piss taking' posts above, it is never acceptable to lay hands on another person without their consent. I was taught this by my father, and have followed it all my life. No means no, not maybe or yes.

Men are physically stronger, this generates the assault; women get ripped to bits in court, this engenders the pathetic conviction rate for such offences. We had a case some years back in Scotland, where a rape victim had to hold up in court, the underwear she had been wearing the night of the attack. Shortly afterwards she took her own life. Until there is law in place to protect women, the conviction rates will remain low. That is a disgrace.

No, too busy posting in urban.

The Big Bash have cheerleaders too though.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Yeh. And you're getting out

Don't worry, Mrs Sas will soon restore the status quo.

 

[Teaboy]

I think a general strike in support of 4 or 5 women who have lost 16 or so hours work a year is what is needed. To the barricades old friends.

To be fair to the IPL, they do not encourage most of the women viewing it to be a cheerleader either.

So they do. The idea in the post is still valid though.

Mixed messages from the Big Bash.

tbh these messages affect both boys and girls, don't they. Such things can be overcome, but they form a backdrop against which you have to fight.

Fuck me sideways, some men here really are stupid cunts.

If you can’t see why “grid girls” need consigning to the history books you need to take a long hard look at yourself.

Yeh. And if you can't explain or outline those reasons then so should you

I was going to give some kind of considered post about cheerleading and its detrimental effect on women but, actually, I think your post pretty much covers it.

But, there's only one that's a cupid stunt.

 

[bemused]

Last year Loius Vuitton and a few other fashion companies decided it probably wasn't a good idea to use children and size zero models to shill their shit. That story received a fraction of coverage F1 not wanting to pay models to stand in front of their wagons on the start line. An odd World.

If that's true, then that's even worse, no? Don't be a whore, girls, but men, you're ok using whores - that's all they're good for.

 

[Sasaferrato]

But you never judge a woman on her looks

I don't actually. I don't think she looks... so must be...

 

[HoratioCuthbert]
