Throw in some thinly veiled transphobia by some posters too. Do any of you actually talk to the women in your life about this sort of stuff? Yaaaas, transphobia bollocks has completed my bingo card.

If that happened to me I'd object straight away. Didn't seem to be upset on the bus either with him walking about and the other girls having a laugh about it shouting kiss,kiss. Perhaps she was shocked and didn't make a fuss because it was televised and live, or perhaps didn't know what to do. Are you saying because she didn't object at the exact time of it happening, then it was fine? Did she deserve it because of her actions in the moment? It's an odd hill to die on, that's for sure.

vladisacoward Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Rubiales should stay. The crotch grabbing was unpalatable and inappropriate. Worth apologising for and then moving on. The rest of it is mind numbingly stupid faux outrage to fit in with a current zeitgeist. Pathetic at best but entirely typical of the times we are living in.

Not sure of your point, but not seeing the link between grabbing a random person in the street and celebrating a massive sporting moment, even if it was a bit in appropriate and creepy. Imo she seen the opportunity to get money and has taken that opportunity. The media and imo over reaction helped fuel it. Rape and sexual assault are not trivial matters, some folks life's are destroyed by them, I'm sure in this case she'll make a full recovery and have no long lasting mental issues.

Nah, not having any of that. If you done the same thing, and kissed someone (forcibly), you could expect the Police to come knocking at your door. And rightfully so. The world is moving on, and if you can't accept that, then prepare to be left in the dust. And at your own risk. You absolutely cannot do what Rubiales has done. In any situation.

That seems a fact, it backs up my feeling that she is using this to get money, a large amount. She sees an opportunity- fair doos.

RobNox Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 So for what it's worth, here's my take on the incident. It's not so much about what Rubiales did, it's far more about how he responded to the reaction to what he did. He could have come out and acknowledged that his actions were inappropriate, but that he'd been caught up in the emotions of the moment and those emotions got the better of his judgement. He could have issued an unreserved public apology to the player, hoping that she'd forgive him for letting his emotions get the better of him in the heat of the moment. Instead he doubled down and tried to defend his actions, putting out false statements that it was consensual and even threatening the player with repercussions if she pursued the line that it was anything but consensual. He basically dug a big hole for himself that could easily have been avoided if his ego hadn't prevented him from acknowledging that he could ever be in the wrong.

It also gives the far right zealots more ammunition about how woke everyone is and how mad and soft the world is going. I hate that rabble, but the far left is going that extreme that it's stance on certain issues is now ridiculous and only pushes folk more right. This is happening globally. This type of incident mirrors that. Rather than common sense and decency prevailing, there are two sides. He's done nothing wrong v he's a rapist, and depending on what side you choose the other side labels you a woman hater or a wokey!

I hate that rabble, but the far left is going that extreme that it's stance on certain issues is now ridiculous and only pushes folk more right. This is happening globally. This type of incident mirrors that. Rather than common sense and decency prevailing, there are two sides. He's done nothing wrong v he's a rapist, and depending on what side you choose the other side labels you a woman hater or a wokey! The truth is clearly in-between, I've been personally abused twice on this thread within 12 hours for what I believe is a perfectly balanced view on the subject. Agreed. And it has to go both ways.
