This statement is as bad or worse than members about women. If you were fair about equality and not accept biased bigotry you would call this out.
The selective outrage occasionally in here and society is pathetic. Supporting select contemporary issues that suits and letting others go through without a whimper is not fighting the good equality fight. Hypocrisy wins no hearts but could create animosity to the cause you think is important.
Thats why I dont take offense to hysterical comments. Just disagree or delete them, move on.
What did I miss?
actually Hawk has a good point here.Quote:

That’s on me.
As a man of religion quite frankly I couldn't give two ****s about Plagues commentQuote:

We much stronger than given credit for as we cop it on a regular basis and Plagues comment was pretty tame compared to nearly all we cop
As for the hypocrisy of those throwing the stones at times it is ****ing laughable the irony and hypocrisy from them
This is a good post. There's a horrible minority undermining the extremely selfless and tremendous work being performed by some Religious individuals in our community.Quote:

Absolutely. I feel this has been lost in the entire conversation.Quote:

Interesting that standing up for the good name of the women in my life is too selective.

Sure, members words were outrageous so delete, warn, ban, move on.
As for protecting family...I guarantee that his generalist/mythical words were not aimed at yours or my family. We are all in the same boat with our better halves and protect them in immediate danger. But in this case I couldnt take the members words personally and believe that your being over sensitive.
I sometimes wonder how you get caught up in football supporter groups when they are often based on rouge elements which can test social boundaries at all levels albeit not accepting the breaking of laws.
Well said Hawk.Quote:

utter bullshit
as a sydney wanker - if you fix the transport into allianz and build a great stadium that learns from the mistakes of the past (ANZ) you will see an increase in attendance
the tram will be immeasurably good for the precinct, also for randwick races as well. people can cry about sports getting money but fk them, sports are great and hospitals are BORING

Government is Taking the piss trying to palm this off as a necessary idea
Same type of dumb ****s built massive stands at Stade de Newy when neither the Jets or Knights fill them yet we could have a completed 25k ground if they used the money wisely to start with
This is pure madness... 2 billions... And we can't even get rid of grass area behind goal posts At newy stadium which by the way makes us look like so ****ing amateurs.....
windows 10. seem to spend most of my time googling "ways to speed up windows 10" or "why is windows 10 so slow?"
How many goes do these Sydney assholes need at building a stad.
Fk them, if they build a POS the first time then wallow in it.
Then in 30 years time after other regions in NSW get theirs then the sydney rimming grubs can have another one.
As for their transport im sure the 100 bill that they squandering on roads, trains and light rail will improve things by 1 min 30 secs
WGMG is people that can't take a piss standing up complaining about equal pay. There is no gender pay gap. Differences exist because you seek flexibility and you don't ask for pay increases. Get over it.
There is a pay gap, and it is that males get paid more than females on average. But it's because the genders are on average doing different jobs/industries and it all comes down to individual, and gender, choices rather than an ingrained system that pays females less for the same work. Show me a male mechanic working in WA mines that gets paid more than a female mechanic doing the same - you can't. But show me that same male mechanic getting paid more than a female hairdresser in Newcastle working 3 days a week because she's just come off maternity leave and that's what they're claiming is an evident paygap - which is a sack of bullshit. Pay gaps in the sense that females argue exist, just don't. It's all about choices. What would be the percentage of Fly In Fly Out workers that are male as opposed to female? A really casual assumption is 80% would be male. But nah the chick behind the bar at Club Macquarie in Cockle Creek should get paid as much hey #imwithher #isthattherighthashtagQuote:

Add to this your points and also the fact that in many professions now there is positive discrimination towards female candidates and it starts grinding my gears too. And don't get me started on the fuss over equal prize money for eg tennis grand slams. I got no issue with them wanting to improve their compensation but playing the discrimination card and equality etc draws a long bow imo. Less tennis, less quality, less viewers, same prize moneyQuote:

i can accept that allianz isn't up to current safety standards, and from the last time i was there, the crowd amenities weren't all that great. built in 87 wasn't it? 40 years is pretty close to the useful life of a stadium i would expect.Quote:

I think this “pay difference” is largely due to the fact that 10-15 years ago, women wouldn’t be even playing sport professionally, if at all. The popularity of women’s sport has taken off over the last 5 years as it transitioned from semi professional to professional. The wages and pay will continue to rise.
I think the only realistic way to look at it is if you have 2 identical people, with same/similar education, experience and ability.
Sport wise, I don’t think anybody could really argue that women are as good as the males skill wise.
