I'd like to know how many fans share my feelings regarding this topic.
The footy show has been pushing to have a female panelist for quite some time. I find them to be quite false. They pretend to have some knowledge about the game, but when they speak, it sounds so scripted.
I have never seen a female panellist that comes across as genuine. I switch off whenever I hear them waffle about topics. I find their presence annoying.
Women have no place on a football panel. If they want to join a panel show on television, they can go on "The View" or "Oprah".
here are some questions you should answer for yourself, no need to post the answers here. i am trying to better you.
do you struggle to connect with women on a real and meaningful level?
are you afraid of women?
do you have superiority issues about women?
do you trust women in general?
what influences have you had in your life that may have played a part in the way you feel about women? (your father for example, your siblings, mother, relatives, family friends, teachers, friends major ones in descending order)
Look. I find no trouble in hearing a girl's opinion. Man, girls love to talk. They need to speak some huge number of words per day, like 15,000 its been estimated (some times its internal).
I have no trouble with women on the footy show, etc. Why do you? Its ok to say you dont prefer it, but to forthrightly insult women in general because a few of them want to speak about footy?
I mean you gotta look around at a game...there are hundreds and hundreds of women in attendance. Girls follow football too. They didn't always go in large numbers. Now they do.
Hey, the same kind of thing happened with pubs. You may not be old enough to remember, and it was before my time too....no chicks allowed. Whenever one walked in apparently, it upset the moods of the men, who go there to get away from the wife. Now pubs have just evolved into pick up joints. But there you go...wherever men and women are, they interact.
There is nothing wrong with girls. They are just wired differently. Which may explain why you think those women are talking crap.....you are not appreciating them and their opinions. Many are hot and intelligent. But please dont discrimate others in such a way - even if they are not hot or intelligent. The world is for everyone these days. There is no segregation.
Such is the changing face of footy.
Embrace it. Accept it.
Women act more like woman when men act more like men. If you are ever going to truly appreciate a girl, you gotta be a real man.
Its a development thing, and not something that people should pick on you for.
