But you can edit that football website to show exactly what you want. And once you learned that you said something unrelated about diversity.

I'm not trying to politicise anything.
Some people are trying to grow the women's game, and I don't see that as a bad thing at all. I enjoyed some of the last world cup games.

Why does women's football being on the bbc sport page mean politicise anything?

Maybe I'm just not interested in the BBC's progressive agenda.

It's crazy, isn't it? Why are people separating men from women? It's an attitude that i find incredibly odd and it seems like it's tinged with the thought that us poor old men are having women's stuff forced on us when we don't want it or care for it, it's the authorities forcing us to think in a certain way. It's very strange, we all have mothers that most of us love and care for, some of us will have daughters who we want the best for and hope that they can achieve and participate in any activity that a male can and go on to prosper.
I'd say that it seems like some middle aged white blokes just don't like sharing, as soon as things change a little they pick up their ball and **** off home in a strop, yet they have the temerity to call others snowflake. Big middle aged babies the lot of them.

I know how to treat other people and have done from a young age, so I don't need any "nudging" from the BBC, which until fairly recently was itself a toxic environment for women, even bordering on being abusive.

We get it, you're a 'free thinker' It's just women's football on the bbc website, that's all, they pay the license fee as well. In 20 years time this wont be an issue. I don't think that anyone is telling you what to look at or how to behave.

As a libertarian I believe news organisations should stick to the news, and that's not just the BBC.

It doesn't matter, at least around 50% of the population have been brainwashed by the media, and they don't even know it :biggrin:

I can’t imagine how much you must have achieved in your life to be this smug while posting something every other person on the Internet is posting.
I hope you have at least, otherwise it’s a bit lame.

It's absolutely true, but we don't yet know which 50% it is, although I would hazard a guess and say everybody thinks it is those who are on the other side!

What about those people who don't read anything of any substance, watch anything other than crap on ITV and don't engage in anything either educational or informative or political-are they 'free thinkers' due to their lack of media exposure or just plain ignorant?

Everybody has a worldview, it can't be avoided, no matter how developed or undeveloped it is.

Re: Sexist ? Yes probably but still peed off
I don’t read the bbc sport page enough to have a big opinion (the athletic, football365 and the guardian have much better football coverage).
But I can’t believe people are actually getting annoyed about their being links to women’s football. The entitlement of some for the bbc to show and talk about only things they are interested in is mad.
Is there anything wrong with trying to grow the women’s game? Would you not rather if 50% of the population had a popular sport they cold become professional in.
When women’s football was banned it was more popular than men’s football. Was the men’s game artificially grown? Has the vast sums of money pumped into the men’s game by the premier league not artificially grown it?

So you were talking down to people at a young age then?

Most people have met in life seem to have a pretty balanced one even if they differ politically.
It’s only the weirdos on the Internet who seem to be so extreme in their views.

Or the perception from a young age that because you're Male, then you must like football.

Men's professional, non-league, amateur, and age group football are all different categories and they don't compete against one another, so I wouldn't expect to see them all lumped together. Likewise, I would also expect womens football to have its own subcategory.
