Why has this photo of an Australian footballer inspired such abuse?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Training, in the sense of controlling choices or ideas, IMO, is deeply unhealthy.  It's about repressing an individual's real feelings and replacing them with learnt approved ones.  Isn't it?

That's virtually every human being lived experience, otherwise we would have zero parenting or education and be basically feral trying to learn everything from scratch and survive without help.

No, it's depressing, it's evidence suggesting that a religious doctrine has taken control of her cultural surroundings and repressed her.

Crisps?

Remember everyone, if someone wears a scarf it's definitely not their choice and what makes them comfortable, it's because they're repressed.

True "liberalism" is going virtually naked in public, save for some strategically placed corporate logos, because nobody has a problem complying with the demands of sponsorship/advertising/viewing figures.

Probably have better sex lives though and less mental illness.

Not sure if there was any mention of the actual original comments anywhere but it's shit like this: https://twitter.com/unethicalquack/status/1107575998151905280

Clearly the issue is there's a lack of comment moderation by the page's admins. As mentioned taking down the photo was a terrible look because it let gross men ruin another thing rather than letting the original picture stay up and continue representing a certain strength and sporting prowess and support equality at the same time.

The AFLW is a comparatively recent initiative in itself, in an official capacity anyway, and has from day one faced crushing discrimination of the type you'd expect from a male-dominated field. Things like not every team having a women's counterpart to just plain audience disdain from certain men. And of course the displays of sexism exemplified by this very situation.

I don't even like football. Or most sports for that matter. But if it's gonna be a thing at least let everyone do it freely and fairly.
