4.5 years is pretty steep... Unsavoury yes, but worth 4.5 years jail time??

Seems out of kilter when you see another bloke jailed for 6 years today for killing a retiree with one punch... At least one of those sentences is off the mark IMO....

Just takes one of those guys to rape her......I'm happy with 4.5 years, might deter other idiots for doing similar in the future.

As for the one punch guy, should have got life (in my opinion he should actually get the death penalty) 6 years is appalling for what that piece of shit did!

Lucky I have no power I guess......



Yes, yes I am.......
No mate. I was the dumb merkin in this instance. If you saw what I wrote before I replaced it with 'dumb merkin' you would agree.

In fact you might not have even needed to see what I originally wrote.

Yeah I'm not sure why I'm watching it because I hate AFL and the only women's sport I watch is tennis.

Perhaps it's just the curiosity of watching how big a gap there is between men and women's sport.

I'm not sure you are allowed to say that.......however true it may be.

Bit of a generalisation, though..

The women are just as good (better, imo) at sevens rugby as the blokes, for example.

I'd love to see them play against each other.......I'd guess the men would destroy them.


Really? Oh well...my bad.

You are right, we just don't seem to be able to say women are inferior at something to men, regardless of facts.

Men don't get upset when people say women are better at ironing or cooking and stuff......just kidding.

There are many things that women are just as good at or better than men at but the top level of sports that both men and women compete in there is no chance that women would beat them.

Swimming and Athletic times are evidence. Watching the quality of women's tennis and cricket is obvious.

Of course if us on the forum took on the jillaroos they would destroy us but from the top level there isn't a chance the females would beat the males.

If that makes me a sexist pig, so be it.


Depends on how you assess that.

I'd say rating/interest pretty much tells you what the majority of people think from an entertainment point of view.

Do I believe that women shouldn't be allowed to play the sports? Absolutely not, they should pursue what they love and they absolutely have talent and when I see them playing I am entertained enough.

Women obviously have no interest in watching though (which is extremely disappointing) otherwise there would be massive interest from networks and sponsors and there wouldn't be the women fighting for a bigger slice of the pie.
