[News] Inspirational Women

[Lower West Stander]

What a disgusting thread some people (I am guessing all men) are trying to turn this in to. Not only rude, but patronizing, ignorant and incredibly narrow minded. I am always proud to say I support Brighton and am from the local area given how liberal I thought the majority of us were. Threads like this prove that some (not all) Brighton fans are just as bad as all the other neanderthaloic fans of other clubs that we like to ridicule.

I know the word "banter" will be thrown about, but we all know the things said on this thread aren't acceptable. If this was Black Awareness Day or Remembrance Sunday, nothing of this nature would be said.

From reading this, people will probably think I am some extreme "bra burning" feminist, but I am not. I am a 24 year old guy that just thinks on a day such as International Woman's Day, we could all try and be slightly less immature and respect the day for what it is and why we have it.

Any views on this would be interesting!

Sorry.

Do you really think that because this on a Brighton fans forum the responses would somehow be different from that of any other club?

Is your implication that Brighton as a city is more educated and liberal than other more Neanderthal places? If so, you are very naive for a 24 year old....

Some great little films about forgotten women. For example the ladies who invented electronic music!

Now that is brilliant, I consider myself a great fan of electronic music so this was an eye-opener for me...

Agreed - some comments are genuinely depressing - shows just how far we have to go. The “banter” defence just doesn’t wash.

What with it being International Womens day and that, are there any of the fairer sex who have truly inspired you?

I admire a few but can't say I've ever actually been inspired by any, to be honest they get right on my tits most of the time.

Suppose that has got to be better than you being on theirs.

Paging [MENTION=1483]London Irish[/MENTION]. Seem to recall him being quite the Aung San Suu Kyi fanboy back in the day.

She was inspirational and was under house arrest for over 10 years but IMO no longer so.

My wife, with all the sh!t she's had to deal with, over the years.
(awaiting the impending comments)

She deserves at least recognition as a Saint.

I remember thinking along the lines of "gosh, good for her" when I saw this a year or so ago. And she is from Sussex.

I apologise for posting an attempted humorous response and not taking everything totally seriously.

Wow, and people say football has been made overly sterile. I think you might be taking this thread and the posts rather too seriously. I've worked in numerous industries in numerous environments for over 30 years and in every single one, without exception, men have poked fun at women and women have poked fun at men. 99.9% of the time people of both genders take it in good humour. That doesn't mean I support the Harvey Weinstein type behaviour but I do think you need to chill slightly.
