" 'SKEW ME FEMALE! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL! "according to straits time columnist
Teo Cheng Wee ( i shake my fist at you!)
i declare myself averse to males who subscribe to archaic gender stereotyping of this sort.
pui.
the introductory to his column:
"Women, stop pretending to be fans if you're not - you have no idea what football is about"tamade im going to smack him.
he proceeds to postulate that:
"Men watch football for fun. But women who think they know football watch it to be one of the cool girls who hang out with the fellows at the bar."so if i like to eat peanuts and lim beer at the bar, whilst watching sweaty men kick a ball around on tv
BY MYSELF cannot is it?!
wait wait, it gets better.
the man (whose purist ideals with regard to football render him similar to
hitler) ends off his extremely sexist column with:
"If you havent actually kicked the ball, you wont know. And, sorry i dont see why i have to explain stuff like this at every game to a supposed (such insinuations! pui!) fan.And you wonder why most sports journalists, match commentators and football pundits are guys.Remember, ladies: its not a badge of honour. It's a bloody game. Enjoy it at your own level (eh hello, wtf?!) if you cant enjoy it like the guys.Just dont spoil it for the men. (i slap you then you know)"the insinuations in the article are grossly sexist.
apparently women are only well-versed in mascara and the great singapore sale. (to that i throw a pointy tweezer at him)
there's loads more where that came from..
..so everybody please turn to pg 4 of sunday life! and proceed to step on it.
rarrrr.
cannot understand why such clearly defined boundaries between male and female enjoyment of football must be drawn.
want to watch just watch la.
and as my show of defiance (even though i dont know much about football but still want to watch world cup anyway)
...i shall put up a picture of my beloved cristiano ronaldo.
(go portugal!!!)
perfection personified. whoohoo!
and i dont care how superficial that sounds.
hurhurhur.
