This rant is moronic at best, he does seem to run away at his mouth a lot, but I also think what a waste, as he really is a very clever and talented. Real shame he stoops to such drivel, he's married too with child on the way or already here too? You know it ladies this is his growing up period, he is having a daughter after all, he'll find out soon enough. His world is about to change completely whether he denies it or not.criminalgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733723901031507930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-3961867298829231022011-03-02T16:34:10.703+00:002011-03-02T16:34:10.703+00:00I have absolutely nothing to add to your analysis ...I have absolutely nothing to add to your analysis except I wanted to comment and tell you that it made me pump my fist up and down shouting 'yes, yes you bastard, yes.'<br /><br />Amazing.Orphielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039467939486728190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-58825039515896014172011-02-05T17:38:34.965+00:002011-02-05T17:38:34.965+00:00Thank you so much, Kate, for picking Giles' cr...Thank you so much, Kate, for picking Giles' crappy, actually lazy, article apart. And I usually love him! I particularly had issue with 'my anaesthetist mum giving birth with no pain' shit. I'm hoping that the birth of his own daughter might shock him into the real world.

These stereotypes offer excuses for the behviour of men.<br /><br />Also, I think many feminists would recognise that we need men on board and that belittling and alienating men only does women an injustice.<br /><br />Coren is a narcissistic, self-publicist who writes pieces like this to attract attention. And it's infuriating because he really is too clever for this sort of thing.Kate Treacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595119191804587479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-72251505762636776052011-01-28T15:40:56.349+00:002011-01-28T15:40:56.349+00:00I started out thinking he was just being a bit mis...I started out thinking he was just being a bit misguided, but trying. By the end of the article he's just being downright hyperbolic, and obstructive. To insist that torture is inherent female behaviour? That's actually steps beyond what Gray and Keys were fired for.<br />That said, if only Sky fired Keys. I think they took the cheap way out letting him resign instead.<br /><br />I see he as well missed the point that, while complaining about this woman getting an offside call wrong, because she's a woman, she got it completely right! Just 'cause the crowd and some bigots with their minds stuck in the 50s wanted it to be offside doesn't mean women can't understand it.<br /><br />And anyway, this idea that football can't be infiltrated by women because the offside rule is so complicated just highlights how mouth-breathingly stupid most people in the world of football apparently are. It's not even a remotely complicated concept! The number of women employed in the NFL (though still not in the positions of power I'd like to see them in) is vastly higher than in British football, and yet is a phenomenally more complicated sport. That goes for viewers as well - you see the stadium filled with women, all of whom enjoying a game with far more to get your head around. That our British football is inherently less interesting and inclusive is as much the reason why so many women don't understand the rule, and it doesn't matter one jot to them.<br /><br />I can't believe we live in an age where this discussion still needs to happen. I simply can't believe that there are men out there who are allowed to get away with airing such obnoxious, misguided, offensive opinions about anybody, let alone at around half the population. As you stated about hoping we could treat sexism in sport like we did racism, if any of these guys aired generalisations about black people, or the disabled they'd be out like a shot. But generalisations about women are somehow considered acceptable, or at least not harmful.<br /><br />I say all this as a despairing man, truly apologetic of half of my gender.Слінк Ядранкоhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372593891762868954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-3919190782695171222011-01-28T12:12:09.973+00:002011-01-28T12:12:09.973+00:00It is commonplace for men who oppose womens' r...It is commonplace for men who oppose womens' rights and feminism to make the most ludicrous claims whenever the issue of men's hatred and contempt for women arises. The aim as always is to derail the central issue which is the right for women to be treated with dignity and respect - not male contempt and male hatred. <br /><br />I do wonder how sexual harassment within the workplace particularly since it is overwhelmingly males who continue to target female work colleagues was finally accepted by the state as workplace intimidation. Perhaps the 'men' had a day off from their daily barrage of women-hating comments and sexualised insults. <br /><br />'Plight of modern man!' Not again Giles Coren - this has been raised every time women dare to demand the right not to be reduced to men's dehumanised sexualised commodities and the issue as always is about men maintaining their male domination over women. It is men's power and domination over women Coren which you attempt to defend and has nothing whatsoever with women's right not to be subjected 24/7 to men's hatred and men's contempt.<br /><br />Misogyny is not only rampant it is now seen as 'just banter' and aren't we terrible calling for misogynists such as Gray and Keys to name just two men known only for their knowledge of sport, to be suitably punished for their contempt of women. Would there be such an outrage if these two men had engaged in disparaging non-white males? I think not because as always men's interests, men's rights are central whereas women - well once again we are not human are we Coren?JENNIFER DREWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112807166372869685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-59615565837218970252011-01-28T11:58:53.614+00:002011-01-28T11:58:53.614+00:00I know I've been asked about 300 times in the...I know I've been asked about 300 times in the last two days why I'm not "doing something" about Loose Women.
