[Politics] Is awarding a vibrator as first prize in a women's squash tournament sexist?

[Hillian1]

The wife came home with a vibrator, waving it around shouting "I don't need you anymore"



Guess who had to put the batteries in

 

[AmexRuislip]

Any old excuse........

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The remote control.

 

[Brian Potter]

An apt prize for the woman who came first !

 

[LVGull]

They need their HR Dept to clearly stipulate what is and isn't aacceptable.

A list of Dildo's and Dildon'ts

Bravo. A vibrator is in the post l.

To be frank the organizers made a bit of a cock up.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

You know where you can stick that prize.

It happened.

Was the men's prize a cock ring?

 

[The Clamp]

Women’s singles?

 

[Funnell]

Depends on what the men's prize was, if they got a vibrating cock ring then I would suggest that the prizes were simply inappropriate rather than sexist.

If the men got a trophy, cash, anything normal then yes sexist.

 

[wellquickwoody]

If it were awarded by men, then yes it's quite obviously sexist.

This was surely awarded from women by women though. No man alive would think it's a good idea? It's just as bad as awarding them an iron or hoover in the 21st century.

I would have thought that men can enjoy a vibrator too, so does it still remain sexist when presented to women by men?

I don't see the harm?

If you think that's insulting, take a look what tennis offer their female winners :

It takes a very brave woman to want to win that.

Absolutely - as in “Don’t mess with me I’ve got balls of steel.”

Indeed. A vibrator up the arse or applied to the glans is a rare treat. I for one would be delighted to win such a splendid prize.

Not really, they did explain before the tournament began that it was open to all-comers.

"I would have thought..."

 

[Durlston]

There's still a stigma about that women enjoying sex are seen as 'slappers' or 'dirty'.

The prize might be seen as inappropriate which I think is maybe were the issue stands. However, why shouldn't girls or women enjoy m@sturbation as much as men? They have far more to put up with in life - periods, having to give birth, the menopause etc.

It's the 21st century and every female is entitled to own a vibrator without feeling in any way promiscuousness.

I see what you did there.

I think it’s great. Here love, well done playing wall tennis, go and have a nice relaxing w**k.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

It's a weird one. I think the whole 'it's sexist' debate really has to look at who decided what the prizes will be.

If it is a sponsorship thing and they went 'Let's give them a vibrator along with the trophy so that we can get some publicity' then I would say it isn't sexist. If it was a bloke that was worried the prize wasn't good enough so just decided a to chuck in a vibrator and some hair removal cream as a treat for the winner then it very probably is

What's wrong with it being Sexy?

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Who wouldn't want one of those on the mantlepiece?

Not only that but getting it engraved could be tricky?
Oh and do they have to return it next year, all shiny new with Brasso?
