Neath rugby club, Wales has found itself in hot water after advertising an upcoming game on social Media with "this one is definitely not for girls"
The post upset many local women, and the club was forced to make a grovelling apology. But is it offensive or just tongue in cheek banter? Would you find it offensive if someone used the term "not for girls"
It's offensive, I'm hurt
It's a dated attitude but no big deal
You've got to be a big girls blouse to take offence
Hey! You may not remember me... but I sure remember you. It's nice to see you're still around. I've been gone for a couple of years. Are you maturing and mellowing as time passes? This is..., not weird; hilarious; absurd; dark; inappropriately sexual; offensive; or anything I've come to expect from you.
This is just a regular question. All... legitimate and topical and oh so very normal. I don't even know what to make of that. Did you become all grown up and serious since I've been gone? I really hope not.
So, it's meant tongue and cheek. But it's still an offensive thing to say because of the implications. "not for the girls" because...(some misogynistic reason like they couldn't handle such violence, or it would be too much for their delicate compositions)
Yea... you're an asshole if you say this as anything but a self-aware joke.
Good question (you better still be a weirdo. I found you amusing entertaining and occasionally insightful)
It's really good to see you still kickin around. 🙂
It depends on the context. If it was just a little joke, you need to grow up and get thicker skin. If it wasn't meant as a joke and was just said offhand it's kind of still dated but I wouldn't say it's a big deal or worth making a fuss. If it was used in a harsh context as in to actively discourage woman from coming then it's getting into what the hell territory.
"The post upset many local women..." I wonder how many. Is the liberal media just hyping a few woke activists and trying to stir controversy? I doubt if most women were offended. Why should they be? Men's rugby is definitely too rough for women to play. But lots of women like to watch real men.
Nah. Especially not with the amount of "not for the boys" that gets thrown around.
If I had a nickle for every time I've heard, seen, or otherwise witnessed a woman and/or business declare that something isn't for men and that it's only for the girls and gays; I'd be a very rich man.
Certainly dated, some sort of stereotypical cheap joke, bad taste, something like that. In itself, it doesn't sound like anything hurtful, but I can see a global effect when that kind of humour is repeated X times in a social environment
Not because of some newthink etiquette, but rather because apparently there were enough ladies who are interested to attend or to watch. It's pointless to miss the chance of selling additional tickets.
It’s just asking for people to misconstrue it for being a subliminal nod to the homosexual undertones of rugby. It doesn’t offend me and I see it for what they probably meant which is the game is going to be a contest between strong men with the implication that men are stronger than girls.
I can see how others could get offended by it though. Girls play rugby too.
The women that were offended had no intention of going anyway. This is just an opportunity to piss and moan. But they will also be the ones who say “it’s a girls night out”.
@NicholasRedone She wasn't about football either. Shame, because she's a stout and beefy woman. She'd be knocking these other girl's heads off. She wants to cheer instead. A bit goofy in my estimation, but hey what do I know?
