AIBU to say men who believe this are sexist pricks

[Oddsocksanduglyshoes]

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?

…

The men played in the euros final last year.

Riiight. And do you also not watch the women’s athletics coz it’s shit how slow the women’s 100m runners are compared to the men’s?

How is that relevant?! Every sport separates men’s and women’s events for obvious reasons

The point being that these are interchangeable / same thing.

All women's football is a lower standard than male equivalent.

Edit: I'd add that the continual barrage of media doesn't help either, being Scottish it's almost as bad as being reminded that England won something 60 years ago.... English media are annoyingly biased and excitable

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.

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

The men’s England team have been terrible recently!

We're in Scotland so we just mute the telly ever time it's mentioned 😂

And women WON it last time

Well apart from the fact you’re wrong and they did last time, are you honestly suggesting you can’t recognise there’s a difference in the women or men reaching the final?

Either you can’t compare them because it’s “diminishing the achievements of women”, or you can.

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 🙄

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

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

I’ve not said that…

Nobody says you must support female sprinters or you’re a sexist! This is exactly why people get so annoyed.

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.

You quite literally said, 8 minutes ago, that we cannot compare men and women’s sports.

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.

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.

But I’ve never once been sexist - and still copped shit. This is why people get pissed off.

And? You can’t and I’m not … you’re not making any sense 🤣

But you’ve been in support of the comments saying the women’s do better than the men’s!

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?
