The only posts that seem to comprehend the core issue are those by twistoflime.

To posters who see some conflict between Nina's earlier article and this one: pole dancing; drinking; promiscuity - all of those occur as the individual's choice. They are not an open invitation for any thug to invade the person. Consent is the issue.

For example, if a bloke regularly gets drunk at the pub; flashes a bit in a fit of mild hooliganism and brags about his conquests - does that mean it's ok for someone else to rape him? Consent is the issue.

As to wider social implications: the rest of the posts here simply demonstrate that support for a female-abusive culture is so ingrained in the 'social norm' that people are blind to it.

Australia is a sexist society, however women want it that way. I know because I whenever I tried to crack the glass ceiling I scored a stilehetto to the face by the lipstick brigade.

This website though? What did they do on it? Was it along the lines of fantasy league? I only read it said things like raping the opposition in soccer games which would make them possibly of the feather boa brigade rather than sexists. Could be gay soccer fetish site from what I know.

NRL does have an issues.

One is that there has possibly been cover ups to protect corporate ends and this is a wide ranging issue that affect victims of bullying and customers as well. It is just expensive and stressful to try and get justice against corporate giants. When caught out they grovel to the click counter obssessed media and send the sinners to the norty corner until a little time has passed. Then they assess whether said criminal is still able to make them money and forgiveness is based on possible future earnings. Our new justice system.

Hormones as well, those nasty critters send young people into all the wrong directions at times.

Reporting on Facebook is lazy journalism. Anyone anywhere can anonymously create Facebook pages. In the old days journos would have to get off their butts and do something called field research, now they sit on computers and wait for their news feeds to arrive and scan internet sites for obscene content. Those students baited for a reaction and got one, it was internet trolling. Usually trolling gets the fellow site users into a ravel but thanks to lazy journos that outrage now extends to our mainstream media channels. There's an adage on the internet "don't feed the troll" - journalists offer them smorgasbords.

Nina, I'm sorry but you really should get one, they're good.

A life that is.

Twist of Lime

I still believe that Nina has left herself wide open for an allegation of double-standards. She often attacks men for the way they conduct their sex life yet finds excuses for women. Skilled advocates anticipate counter-arguments, yet Nina leaves herself open to this type of attack.

I have a track record on this forum of being equally critical of promiscuous behaviour from either gender. I dislike sleazy men for a variety of reasons, but most notably because I have seen so many women hurt by their selfishness. I dislike sleazy women for a variety of similar reasons, but Nina’s hypocrisy is hardly unique to her.

Twist of Lime, you wrote "I see nothing wrong - in terms of sexual politics - with girls or boys wanting to binge drink, be sexually promiscuous, be raunchy, etc. But this behaviour can cross a line." You seem to have a way with words, tell us more about where you think this line is. Think carefully, because both genders will need to toe it.

Remarkable. For the fourth time in hundreds of posts, I find myself inclined to agree with col rouge.
I also agree with Pynchme.
I have to say, as sympathetic as I am to the underdog (should that be 'underbitch'?) I thought the article rested on rather more stereotypes than were strictly necessary.
