If you don't want to be a role model don't take a job that pays 100K a week and puts you on tv all over the world.
Work is Tescos and play sunday league football.
After his performance against Newcastle, he should have known better.
I wonder what Duncan Ferguson will have to say to him.

Give over fella, just because you are good at something and someone wants to pay you a hell of a lot of money, that doesn't give people the right to abuse not only you but your family as well and expect no repurcussion.

The absolute state of society that its OK to goad people with the hope you can catch them on your phone and sell it to a paper.... Dregs of society

No-one's going to cut your cock off, don't worry. But sorry that I don't want a violent man who'd beat me up. My mum and grandma went through that. I don't want to end up like them. I didn't realise that being a violent psycho was the only way to be a man.

Do you go round punching people as well?

Yep using toxic masculinity to describe something else as toxic, a very telling post

Nope and I don't condone it.

However for society to suddenly want millions of years of evolution, within all male mammals that generate testosterone which consequently increases aggression levels, to stop is ludicrous. Testosterone us a natural drug that causes a disposition to that response. It prepares the stronger, faster male to be able to protect his herd . It is a natural condition that should not be vilified and called toxic.

To do so is as ludicrous as not wanting fluctuations of oestrogen and progesterone which create emotional responses and the subsequent empathic and sensitive nature required by mammalian mothers who evolution has equipped (physically and biochemically) to take on the more sessile mothering role.

It's sad that we have reached a point where stupid humanity think their reasoning is smarter than evolution.

Although I detest violence I personally would infinitely rather be hit on the jaw and it's all settled (the man way), than have the persistent psychological Chinese water torture of events from years ago being dragged up time and the again with the elephantine memory of a woman wronged (the female way).

For some reason yabbering mindless society in the media seem to be determining that a brief scuffle is wrong, yet prolonged psychological torment is acceptable. I personally can't see why this is, not why the wrongs of the later are seldom raised.

I'll add that in 30 years of teaching, in my experience, I observed that boys settle disputes quickly with a quick few thumps, a graze a lump and they heal. Normally a mutual respect is established.

The only time the trouble persists is if one or both mothers of one if the boys tries to intervene with good intentiins - which only serves to keep the matter going on and in as they seek an end to the matter that matches their own perceived needs.

When girls disagree they argue and say spiteful things and often manipulate others to do the same, quite often causing persistent feuds lasting years and prolonged psychological damage to the victim.

Which is preferable?

Those arent the only options, no one is stopping you from being you but you clearly hold others who don't share your version of a 'man' in contempt, you should probably just watch piers morgan om a loop you gigantic closest case

wait, I'm not condoning anyone giving him a hard time, you're right, nobody thinks it's ok to goad people and record it for profit.
But Pickford needs to grow up, learn to spot a messy situation and learn how to avoid rising to it.
As long as Everton pay his wages, he represents the club. If he can't figure out how to spot a messy situation about to happen, maybe he should stay out of pubs in the northeast for a bit.

Not quite. If there is contempt in my tone then it isn't that, its irritation or frustration. An irritation that to me what is so blindingly obvious, is not obvious by those handed a voice by the media or social media . Its the result of the media making journalists from English graduates from the sheltered insular world of public school, rather than those with specific in-depth knowledge of what they're talking about.

It does my head in that all one ever gets is the social aspect and never the scientific causality behind it. Its as though science is irrelevant in the face of ignorant opinion or democracy.

Parents are role models. No one else.
