Dear Phanto,

I'm too busy being fabulous to take you
seriously.

“Phanto, still looking for a fight I see?
I don't need you to tell me what I can and can't say, nor how often I am allowed to say it.”

If you think I am just looking for a fight then why are you so stupid as to indulge me?

I wasn’t telling you anything – I was simply asking why you said what you did and why you needed to say it twice. You have refused to answer any of those questions. Instead you have tried to describe my call for justice as sad and born of jealously. Could we say the same for you when you call for justice for refugees or women or any of the other causes you feel strongly about?

No one said you were not fabulous but even fabulous people can make totally irrelevant posts and be quite nasty when they do not get their own way. You may or may not be fabulous but you are not perfect.

It seems you do take me very seriously given the number of times you respond to me when it is quite illogical to do so. For example, why do you feel the need to tell me you do not take me seriously? All you need to do is to behave as though you do not take me seriously and ignore me. Any kind of response towards me is just stupid behaviour.

Footy players are not hired for their IQ, nor are they trained in how to behave in interviews, so slip ups in protocol are not unexpected. As there was no physical contact or intended harassment from Gayle and if Mel McLaughlin made no complaint, I agree that this is a storm in a tea cup and the punishment was extreme.

What everyone forgets that actions often have unintended consequences. I would imagine that male sportsmen might be wary about being interviewed by women, which would not help the career of any women keen to break in to sports media.

Thoughts?

Dear phanto,

I don't take you seriously at all.
And you should not have any fear of perfection.
As Salvador Dali once stated - "You'll never
reach it!"

But it is fun playing with you.

"But it is fun playing with you"

Well it is a perverse kind of fun when only one participant is enjoying it and I certainly do not enjoy your nastiness.

This is a very good point and it is becoming widespread in many areas. Men are having to be wary of their relationships with women because of unreasonable uproars about behaviour which in itself should not be considered offensive or immoral. Such is the aggression of many women that they will do anything to try and hurt a man. They will lie and exaggerate and look for support from other women who also have a lot of free floating anger against men.

There is a serious movement building momentum where men have as little to do with women as possible because close relationships with them is simply not worth the risk of being treated unjustly. Many men will also refuse to work in jobs where women also work for fear of being treated unjustly.

Women who want to hurt men at every opportunity may end up being sorry for what they wish for. There are many things they cannot have without the co-operation of men and if they continue to alienate them it will limit their choices. If you want to work as a sports reporter then you have to demonstrate an ability to be able to relate on equal terms with men or you will simply not be able to get a job.

If men become totally alienated from women then where will the babies come from? Now that should make them stop and think.
