I think that men and women should be treated as equal in everything except the three female spheres of activity of being pregnant, giving birth and breast feeding.
But I think that there are subtle differences in abilities and tendencies between men and women such as a slight tendency for women to be more empathetic than men.
Overall, empathy is also a very common quality in men, but my life experience has been to see a little more empathy in women than in men.
To me there is an emotional beauty in the way that the Fitzroy footballer pictured in the link celebrates a goal by a teammate in a grand final played last year that you wouldn’t see as often in a male player.
Women tend to be better at expressing this sort of joy than men are.
Our culture teaches men to hide emotions not to let them out. Men need to be strong. That's life.
Do women bring more joy to the game of football or is that joy gender neutral?
Is women’s football more fun?

It’s hard to get interested in women’s contact sports at all. I keep getting notifications about women’s rugby too and I ignore those as well. Do you happen to know where I can watch AFL games lines without having to pay for a premium subscription to the teams, leagues or streaming companies? I’d like to have a chance to casually watch some games when I can’t go to my friend’s place.

Can't allow that dastardly canard to stand!
In their early dating years - roughly from 16 to 30 - men, as the ones who are forced to take the initiative, in what is essentially a seller's market (the young men are competing against all men, practically speaking, including many well-established men in their 30s and 40s), have no choice but to attempt to understand women's wants and needs, to attempt to figure out how their minds work.
That requires empathy.
In contrast, women in that same age category are flooded with options; they are at the height of their SMV and can thus set the rules. They hence have no reason to attempt to "understand" men; all they have to do is be able to properly "size up" men.
Women are erroneously viewed by society at large as having greater empathy merely because women are more emotional, will cry more easily, etc.
When women become mothers (something increasingly rare nowadays), the hormones "kick in" and they become very attentive towards their offspring, but I would not call that "empathy."

There is a big difference between the masculine and feminine consciousness. The differences are not just in the brain where masculine consciousness is processed through the hippocampus while feminine consciousness is processed through the amygdala, but also in the consciousness itself.
Masculine consciousness creates the structure or framework of the soul or individual consciousness while feminine consciousness attaches to it. This is why feminine consciousness is better at raising children as it can bond and attach to them. In many ways, masculine consciousness is linear while feminine consciousness is circular in its flow patterns. Both are equally important.
Notice I mention masculine and feminine and not male and female. All human souls have both, usually with one dominant over the other. The dominant aspect of consciousness determines gender identity.
In the greater soul consciousness, masculine represents the inflow while feminine represents the outflow. Like a light bulb, it takes both for the soul to illuminate. That is the function of Love as it binds these two aspects together so the soul can grow.
Attraction in relationships is a soul’s desire to be whole. (Have both inflow and outflow balanced)
When we deny one aspect of consciousness in ourselves, we are attracted toward our compliment in another person and embrace it as a crutch to feel whole.
What I describe is not theory, it is what I have observed and experienced for over thirty years since consciousness of other people became physical to my perception after an NDE.
Feminine consciousness without attachment to masculine becomes erratic and flows in irregular patterns. This is what facilitates the expression of emotions in feminine consciousness. Masculine consciousness without attachment to feminine becomes focused and driven, often cold and unable to experience empathy, compassion or emotion.
Artificial Intelligence or AI can only replicate masculine consciousness. It can imitate feminine consciousness but never replicate it.
I’ll second that!
The ref looks too stunned to pull his flag.
Liberals are drawn to soccer precisely because it is one of the few remaining venues where American exceptionalism does not prevail. The World Cup, rather, is a working model of President Obama’s foreign policy vision: a world in which America has no special role, where inferior countries are no longer humbled by American greatness, where every country is exceptional, and free shots on goal are not earned, but given away as a handout to those who have mastered the art of falling down. In the group stage, at least, the games can end in a tie.
The motion passes!
Looks like he just swallowed his whistle.
The one football league that never gets advertised.
Go to YouTube, search “restaurant fights”.
Hehe. LOL. I see enough crap on the unfiltered X feed already.
The woman's game is more cerebral, where strategy and shot placement are showcased. The men's game has strategy and placement but those are diminished by the sheer speed and power that the men play. As a spectator, it is more enjoyable, for me, to watch the hustle of longer rallies. It is a sport where women (mostly) don't sacrifice their femininity to excel at the highest level.
I did some growing up as an expat in SE Asia back in the 60’s... soccer and b-ball, and a type of Sepak Takraw with wicker ball... nor unlike hacky sack... Bowling was also very popular as was precision shooting with .22 and field archery. That was it. Oh, and cribbage
When we came back stateside, I was completely uninformed about most American sports and still am to this day. But I do like watching Rugby.
The 7Plus link is a no-go. It won’t work outside of Australia, but I’ll try it on my phone’s VPN later.
I talked to my Melbourne mate. He said I’ll need the AFL Season Pass as the only way to watch outside of Australia. The Season Pass plan is AUD $200.00, so not exactly cheap considering I’ll only watch a handful of games.
Thanks for the help and keep in touch on the Footy.
Three words: Chuck. E. Cheese.
