Women's Rugby Interview on Radio 4

Listening to the women's rugby captain being completely patronising.
Did anyone else hear it at about 8.30. He improved a bit as the interview went on but started as though he was speaking to a novelty child act.
So disappointing.

Missed it but probably glad to have by the sounds of it!
That kind of thing winds me upAngry

I'm confused. The women's rugby captain is a man? Is this another trans thread?

anotherchangeyname · 30/01/2019 09:03

I know nothing about rugby. Is Sarah Hunter a man?
Not a trans thread at all.

Sarah is not a man!

Well you referred to the women's rugby captain, as 'he' twice, which is the normal pronoun for a man, hence people assuming that you were talking about a man.

I thought you might mean the coach/manager, but if the captain is called Sarah Hunter and is actually the captain not the coach, I would assume that she is a woman yes I know you are not allowed to say that these days.

I think the OP meant the interviewer as "He".

Radio 4 presenters patronise everyone, it’s not necessarily sexism.

I listened to the same interview- cos I was stuck in ridiculous Mancunian snow chaos- and I thought it was ok although he laboured the point about equal pay a bit. I thought she handled him well

She was brilliant. It was more at the beginning. Yes, he refers to the interviewer.
