*that celebration

[chrismpw]

OK- so apparently this act of pulling a shirt off empowers you, as well as getting a yellow card.

So own up, if this is empowerment which of you nasty men have been stopping women doing this up to this point, you repressive horrors. I'd ask Jenni Murray on radio 4 woman's hour for her view, but she's no longer at that man-hating BBC flagship.

On a side note ... has anybody made it into a slow motion gif yet? Asking for a friend of course. I suggested it might happen to the missus and got "the look" for my troubles.

For several reasons I feel like this giph is appropriate here...

I’m all for woman's empowerment.
If this means getting their kit off, who am I to argue?

 

[Lob]

It definitely empowered me anyway.

 

[magicjuan]

In my last game I was sent off after scoring for displaying my surgical truss and hiatus hernia.
What's the difference?

How is it empowering women? Can somebody explain this to me?

Brings them closer to God’s originally intended uniform of well-placed fig leaves.

I said to mum last night I was gutted there weren't more goals scored last night for the top off celebration. She was not amused.

 

[Zezti]

Literally just celebrating as any man would, and that's the point. Rather than being expected/told they shouldn't.

You tell me .... seems anything ordinary that a woman does these days is called empowering by the BBC and similar media.

The fart my missus laid down yesterday would probably be described as such in that it emptied a room.

Today's ordinary was yesterday's taboo. That's what empowering does.

I'm no expert in understanding women, but exactly WHO has been saying they shouldn't? The veiled take from certain media is that its down to a repressive male patriarchy - but my guess is that it is peer pressure from other females embarrassed to do the same.

Good on her.
I recall a US player done it once.
The girl loves footy.

I get your point and don't disagree. But I doubt that, if I ran down our street in just my undercrackers, anybody would call me empowered.
