[Football] Women feeling unsafe at football matches

[crodonilson]

Violated and frightened - why women need to feel safe at mens football matches

Appreciate we are ahead of the curve somewhat on this and provide in comparison to others a more safe and inclusive environment for female fans, but it still doesn't appear to be enough. What else can we do to make women feel safer at mens football matches?

Ok, I'll bite! Who says women don't feel safe at football matches?

Edit to add.... Wtf is 'More female prominent pre-match music'?

Men to buy and allocate ticket to deserving cases

How about some men stop acting like complete dicks and maintain that in life outside of football as well.

 

[Swansman]

Ban the modern fearmongering information society that makes people believe that there are murderers, terrorists, rapists, robbers and jacktherippers hiding in every street corner, apartment and park in every city 24/7.

No chance you’re getting in with that

Cookery classes on the concourse? Knitting 1901 club? Bring your Kitten to a game matchdays? Surprised none of these have been invested in by the club. Barber OUT.

Some of the behaviour at Charlton station last night reminded me why I'd never take er in doors to an away day

ban men.

Starting with all white men. Of middle age. And straight. And English. And previlaged. Get rid of this demographic first

I don’t know, sometimes it’s good to take a peak into another dimension. But yes, get where coming from

What does the OP think?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

1) not post sarcastic threads about women’s safety.
2) not post pictures of semi naked women to promote football matches.

There you go Crodo.

 

[Brok]

Wasn't it Peterborough that had a gang of girl hooligans in the mid '70s?

"More female prominent pre-match music"

 

[Eric the meek]

What does the OP think?

More to the point, what do women think? Heaven forbid that we should ask any.

For instance, my idea would be yarnbombing. Cover the new glass tunnel with woolly world cups to welcome Mac back. But what do I know?

 

[The Clamp]

Whilst I normally appreciate your humour, Crodo, I fail to see the humour in the subject of women’s safety.
Just not that funny, is it.

Misogyny isn’t taken seriously, certainly not at football matches or on football social media. Just look at the crap that someone like Laura Woods takes after reporting on a match. She may give as good as she gets but she shouldn’t need to. I’d say that it is blokes with a very small cock but I don’t feel the need to abuse women, so it can’t be that.

It’s quite simple, don’t be a dick.

And, when sexism and misogyny is mentioned, don’t belittle it. Or, don’t be a dick.
