Football culture is far more harmful to women's rights and wellbeing than porn culture.

For a start, football culture gives a far more pervasive, wide-ranging and monolithic message: men are gods and women are either decorative accessories or foodstuff. It's misogyny and toxic masculinity encapsulated. Never mind the fact that the England women's football team have apparently won the world cup more often than the England men's team: there's the whole WAG thing, where being someone's appendage is a prize girls are told to covet, yet if they actually try to seek this prize they are demonized as sluts and gold-diggers, there's the way in which rape is seen as far more forgivable than being gay... and hard evidence that violence against women has a big upsurge every time there's a major football match on.

Hi, we've moved this into Women's Rights. Thanks.

Hi there,

Apologies, we did get it wrong on this occasion and have moved this back to AIBU now.

Best wishes
