I get that, honestly. I'm sure it was meant as a joke. I'd normally just move on and l
ignore. I also get the debate that there should be no boundaries in humour and anyway we need to push at boundaries.
Except this time I looked up the meaning of a word and these words jumped out: 'Bukake is a Japanese sexual act where multiple men ejaculate all over a female. Originally used to socially and emotionally destroy a female after infidelity' I'm out of my depth here. Almost certainly nobody thinks of that definition when using that word but it pressed all my buttons.
Maybe the Weinstein stuff has made me more sensitive but the question I'd ask is why, when Proth makes a post about our women's cricket team does a man then make a joke about a sexual act against women? I must have posted dozens of times on here 'Come on Norwich' and no one has ever thought to reply in that way.
Why is there still this difference and lack of respect? I'm as angry about this as I was about the Anthony Ogogo news yesterday. Maybe calling out this casual sexism is how we start to change views? Perhaps this is how we get people to start thinking differently?
