AFL and Cricket Australia

[Vandenberger With The Lot 220]

This whole episode shows that Australia's public is still stuck in archaic times. It's 2016 and everyone is still losing their mind over a black man asking out a white woman.

More excuses for sexism. Weak as the proverbial.

 

oh ffs it wasn't sexism

flirting is not sexism it's part of normal healthy life

it was just inappropriate behaviour in the particular circumstances it occurred in

the way you are going on someone would think wwiii had started. move on and get an effing life

Excuses and victim blaming STILL.

Have you even seen the interview? She clearly tells him she's not blushing. That should have been more than enough.

FMD.

Go and bother someone else Stuie...Please..

Gotcha, so sexual harassment in the workplace is totally fine, it's up to the person on the receiving end to sort it out not up to the perpetrator to just not do it...

 

As usual Stuie you are confusing the issue.  It's hardly a matter of sexual harassment in the workplace - we are not talking about Mel being harassed by her boss or co workers.   And by the way sexual harassment is not alright its totally wrong but if you want to be a female TV journalist & interview people live then be quicker on your feet than Mel was or go and get another job - its really no different to a politician trying to change the subject or weaselling out of the question during an interview - maybe Mel should of handed over to Fran Kelly to do the interview.

Unwelcome flirting with someone you are working with is sexual harassment.

Ignoring someone's credentials and treating them merely as an object is sexism.

It was both those things, but doesn't surprise me seeing the people who don't get it.

Who said Gayle treated Mel MERELY AS AN OBJECT except you Stuie. 

He complimented her eyes and asked her out for a drink. A slave in a BDSM dungeon is treated as an object. 

Don't rewrite history (again)

Have you even see the interview? Everything you say indicates you haven't.

She was there to interview him about cricket, she asked about cricket, all he did was comment on her physical appearance and act like a sleaze.

Get out of the fifties.

Now I remember why I don't bother responding to you. Back to your banana thread with the other child level brains.

Since things have got to the point where Daisy is lapsing once again into nostalgic ramblings and Chris Gayle has left the building anyway, it's probably a useful time to close this thread.
