I can see her point.

Haha nice one.

There's no way you have a wife.

Am i the only one here that does not see a problem with this?

Can be a good and a bad thing as long as they're not allowed to play whilst on their periods, could lead to a very bad incident i.e. Female ref slapping a player for being called a bitch, player pushes her over by her breasts, sexual harrassment, court case, allegations of rape and so forth.

Yes, his wife is a giant emotionless robot, capable only of a few phrases such as "You're being intellectually dishonest, honey", "you're the most intelligent man on the planet, honeykins" and "I wish you wouldn't talk so negatively about prawns, my love".

Just ask Rob - we took him to dinner on his visit to OT earlier this season.

More than the local cafe members could be arsed to do btw.

It's all well and good but if you thought players didn't respect the ref before, there's no telling how bad it could be with a woman in charge.

If that's an attempt at 'humour' I strongly advise you NOT to give up the day job.

'Humour', yes.

...and the likelihood of a female resorting to physical violence over an insult she probably hears commonly, even when on a period, is what? Bloody small is the answer - probably smaller than a male ref doing the same.

Hormones, I've seen a guy get bottled for calling a girl "easy"

The male testosterone driven behaviour is probably responsible for more violence overall though.

... and, of course, calling someone 'easy' is, in context, quite possibly a pretty strong insult.

So - to date - somewhere between 15-21 posts (depending on interpretation) that would classify as sexist/misogynist claptrap if voiced in the workplace.

I think my wife's point remains valid.

davisjw · 26th March 2008, 23:16

I was only stating a fact, don't lump me in that group

VidaRed · 26th March 2008, 23:18

I reckon the female ref should be naked. Yes, and the players should forget the ball and all take turns to use her as a sexual tool and cum on her face. For 90 minutes. Because that's all women are good for.

Tell that to your wife you pompous cunt.
