Is it cos out of context the tweet sound patronising of their professional lives, or is it cos the fa shouldn’t be doing articles bout them being reunited with their families, or is it cos they said heroes and not i.e. heroines? Or is not the tweet so much as i.e the comments, which is like the Other Place?
pls pls don’t d-vote me! I’m just genuine want to know which bit was the most hateful against women, so I can tweet my angar bout it!
I think it’s the bit about ‘going back to being mothers, daughters and partners’ that is patronising. Would they same the men’s team would be ‘going back to being fathers, sons and partners’ on their return from a global competition? I bet they wouldn’t.
gotcha. It reminds me of i.e when an amateur team gets to FA Cup 3rd round, and they’re like “today they go back to being postmens & taxi drivers & paedophiles, but yesterday, they was Heroes!”
Oh dear, how embarrassing for the FA. Whether it was intended or not they really need to think these things through.
Giant steps taken in this tournament for the ladies game, to be belittled by, of all people the FA!!! Seriously, what is wrong with them. They have a great chance to push on, then this.
It’s hardly surprising really, given the FA’s track record. I prefer things like this rising to the surface as it at least flags the issue - whether a deep rooted organisational issue, or just an issue with the team that made the decision. It might have just be a junior social media bod being given too much freedom to tweet without editorial support, you don’t know. But at least the FA know they can’t get away with comments like this - the public won’t accept it.
A great girls holiday away from the kids for a few weeks! Now back to the ironing and loveless sex.

Don’t tar them all with the same brush, Bear. I think you’re just referring to Havant & Waterlooville.
Unfortunelty it is still embedded deep within our society! It is changing, but still feels very forced in some cases.

Yes. It’s weird we should feel grateful it’s changing.
