As a man, you are wrong.

I’m willing to bet that other MALE broadcasters aren’t inundated with massive complaints that they don’t like the sound of their voice.

But according to Deadspin women’s sports are boring and they’re so bad they would all just lose to a bunch of pre-pubescent boys anyway and they have no viewership. You can’t fix that!

And how many male broadcasters get the same volume of complaints about their voices I wonder.

It’s not even just men — a whole hell of a lot of women despise other women, as well.

Tell me about all of your athletic successes. How was back up LF on the JV team in high school? Was it fun?

As a woman and an avid sports fan, everything in your comment is stupid and wrong.

So....your counterpoint is that there is a person (man, presumably) who likes some women but not all women and therefore nothing is the result of misogyny?

“As a man”

Mr. Slackss and I were watching the Dodgers continue their shitshow swoon last night and got to talking about how great Jessica Mendoza is in the booth. She is knowledgeable and has a good rhythm with her co-broadcasters and is also pretty funny. She could dig up Babe Ruth and bring him back to life and he-man woman…

perhaps if women were allowed to be more visible in the sporting arenas, more women would be interested and involved in sports. 1 female announcer on a panel does not equal half, calm the fuck down.

so why the fuk should half the commentators be women?

Absolutely nothing new about that. The This American Life segment about vocal fry pointed out that they’d had dozens of angry emails complaining about the women presenting segments on the show for using “vocal fry,” when Ira Glass is literally one of the worst offenders of vocal fry out there.

The synchronicity is amazing, as I read this thread, my husband is on the phone with his parents right now, recounting this story:

God, does this sound like our wedding. I don’t want to give too many details lest I dox myself, but we didn’t want to invite my husband’s meth-head thief of a nephew because it was a small wedding at a private home. When my husband’s family found out, his sister (thief’s mom) and his mom (thief’s grandma) refused to…

I have a cousin who abuses drugs/alcohol and is also a generally terrible person who only cares about himself. He wound up invited to my sister’s wedding because my mother cannot say no to her family and he ended up trying to kiss the groom’s very young sister and there was almost a fist fight. My sister’s in-laws…

Tried that! Selfish narcissism cannot be contained. My in-law we tried that on then showed up at the event with her kids saying she didn’t feel safe leaving her kid with the babysitter 🙄

This isn’t simply “kids at a wedding”. This is 4 children, ages 3 and under, who might have disabilities from what they were exposed to in-utero and are frequently bounced between their mother and other family members. Through no fault of their own the children could be horribly behaved brats, and I think the LW was…

The best advice my mother ever gave me was to never marry a person with a shit family. Do you know what I’d be dealing with for the rest of my life? Or until every one of them/I dies? Their shit family. And you know what else happens as time progresses? EVERYTHING GETS WORSE. The parents get dementia. The sister gets…
