I couldn’t believe this. Here’s an article on it.

Has he ever met male footballers with their tears and pitch theatrics? Grin

Where as male footballers are not emotional at all, just look at the cool heads prevailing from last night

Why do men seem not to class anger as an emotion? Anger is the most destructive emotion there is and most of it, in its outward-expressive form, comes from males.

I know. It's baffling.

Did he not watch the documentary on Gazza last night?
It’s a funny old world, men get praised for showing emotion, women get criticised Hmm

I have argued about this very thing many times in the past. Anger is an emotion, and it is certainly a much more expressed emotion in men. For some reason even the way something like 'emotional' is defined is already sexist and excludes anger from the list of possible emotions, probably because it would make men and women seem much more equally emotional.

The nasty reverse side of this (which I have often heard) is that women are emotional while men are rational. Yet the sexes score equally in tests of logical thinking etc. But the old myths are very very sticky.

As an aside, it's also possible to be both emotional and rational at the same time and to be neither at the same time. They are framed as mutually exclusive states because of that sexist bias.

It's the same way as women are constantly disdained and shamed for leaking when it's plainly men who are the leakier sex but somehow their leaks are different because they assert masculinity rather than shameful female biology. Hmm

I came on here to say exactly that! Day to day life is full of men with barely controlled anger in my experience, let alone in football.

He's done the classic non-apology as well, only apologising for any offence caused.
