That foul Margie McDonald article from Fox Sports has also been published in The Australian. The one that equates going to a hotel room with a footballer with robbery, and rape by footballers with correctional police action. The one that says we should be teaching young girls at home and at school that if they enter a private space with a footballer, whatever happens next is their own damn fault, and that anything that’s done to them after that is not a crime.

Pure Poison has an excellent response.

I liked one a friend used a while ago, “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining,” but I think yours is a keeper.

Thanks, I needed that.

Jet’s last blog post..Stop it. Just stop it.

Dudes, don’t shove your balls in my face, then turn around and tell me it was the scrotum fairies.

That sound? A thousand clicks as that sentence is cut ‘n’ pasted into quote files.

Apart from the characterisation of a few really quite politely worded responses to Moses’ misogyny as “the Ten Plagues”, and calling this a “group sex storm”- it’s the passive construction of what’s gone on in this particular incident that’s getting to me. The headline claims that Asher Moses was just “snagged” in it. Oops! What bad luck for him, eh?

It’s up there with “Oh, well, that was unfortunate wording.”

Dudes, don’t shove your balls in my face, then turn around and tell me it was the scrotum fairies.

If it’s true, I really wish it were reported more. It would shut a lot of people up in the “no charge = no crime” quarter.
