Page 7 | AIBU to say men who believe this are sexist pricks

Men who refuse to watch the euro finals tomorrow as it’s women’s football - so what’s the point and refuse to watch, and say this in front of they wives and daughters are misogynistic pricks and their wives and daughters deserve so much better?

Some women’s sport just isn’t close to the quality of men’s.

You can say I am a sexist pig but the objective test is how much black market tickets cost.

If you look at the women’s black market prices, they are 1/4 to 1/2 of men’s black market prices. If women liked women’s sport equally, you would never get that disparity.

It is the same argument as to why it is unfair to allow trans women to compete in women’s sport. Women just aren’t as strong or fast and people want to watch the strongest and the fastest. I don’t think that is sexist.

I’m not the one who compared them initially. But yes, I must be a sexist because I don’t participate in the enforced support of the women’s national team!

That’s not what I said…

Comprehension appears to not be your strong point.
I don’t care whether you support women’s football or not. Not sure how many different ways I can write that.

No I haven’t!! I’m a supporter of women’s football but I don’t feel the need to compare it to the men’s game. They’re different and I’d like them both to do well.

Not gonna lie, there’s definitely been a hint of sexism in your posts. Anyone who uses the argument that they wouldn’t progress in a men’s tournament just sounds a bit sexist to me 🤷🏼‍♀️
or not very bright…

I think the women’s game has so much more character. Luckily, my DH is supportive though not a big football fan anyway.

Onleemoi · 27/07/2025 12:02

Would you all prefer women stopped playing? Girls can stick to netball at school. Or is it ok if it’s behind closed doors and not being spoke about or reported on?

Maybe they would if the sexist misogynists were as vocal about their disdain for female athletes…

Anyway, nobody is saying you MUST support women’s football. Just don’t be a sexist prick about it… it’s not hard.

My dad, a working class hgv driver and lifelong football fan, is loving the Lionesses. He says their team is 'more patriotic' than the men's. I don't know what he means as I've got no interest in football, but I'm pleased he's so behind them.

Of course they wouldn’t! Anyone with a basic understanding of physiology knows that.
Comments like this are ridiculous and undermine women’s achievements. We’re not trying to compete against the men so people need to stop making those comparisons.

Don't mind watching the women's footie at all. I watch the men's and women's cricket, too and find them all worth watching. The problem I do have is with the women commentators on the football, frankly they're awful, the strident screeching when England score doesn't work for me I'm afraid.

It’s funny isn’t it how these comparisons only get made in male dominated sports.
Nobody is talking about how female sprinters can’t beat male sprinters are they? So predictable 🙄

Then you need to stop saying that you should be watching the women’s team because they get further than the men’s.

Not sure if this is deliberate trolling but the England men's team has played in the last two Euro finals.

Cattery · 27/07/2025 11:54

No because the women’s game is different to the mens’. They play at a different speed and a different level. Nothing to do with being sexist. It’s just less exciting
