It isn't the fifties anymore - and most men have grown up a bit since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RJRB Â Â 688 #3 Posted April 4, 2017 I'm with the OP. Some people want to go out of their way to be offended. I'm glad to see that the recipient of the comment was able to take it as a light hearted remark with no malice intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #4 Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Its the type of banter that has gone on in football forever and still does, Its just that with an increase in women entering this world, its being made an issue, but most women are not the delicate flowers that some people think they are. This particular woman, to her credit, hasn't even complained. Edited April 4, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It isn't the fifties anymore - and most men have grown up a bit since then.  Please can you provide a list of suitable topics for jokes.  Thanks.  (Not I haven't heard or seen the David Moyes joke, but jokes usually have a subject that is the butt of the joke) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

max   13 #12 Posted April 4, 2017 Got bigger problems if people look up to David Moyes  Is he allowed to say it to a man?  This is the whole problem of this non-issue called Political Correctness.  Nobody is stopping anybody from saying anything.  However, when someone does say something inappropriate, such as threatening to hit a woman, then they leave themselves wide open for critical comment.  Does that make it any simpler?
