Thread: AFL "Scandal"?!

What is interesting is when men are busting to make excuses for the men - boys will be boys - and blame the women.
The fact is, it's not about gender, it's about power. It's not one-sided - it goes both ways.
When a person (male or female - it does happen) uses that power to coerce those without power to do what they want then it's wrong.
I don't see anyone blaming child sex victims for being abused - it's the abusers who are condemned. Same principle.
Most males just don't understand how many women feel about this, I think.

"Coerce"?...How did you come up with that?...You'd better read the story, 'çause there was none of that, "everyone" knew about these "äffairs",.... they were socializing openly together, one of the "couples" were running/training together, and you mention "coersion"...I don't think so Disco.
These women knew these men, they weren't innocent little girls, they knew these men were married, so what has been the AFL's response to that?
And, as YOU say quite correctly, "Ït's not one sided-it goes both wäys", and so it should, but not in this case obviously.

As an old friend once told me "Don't screw the crew"....
