Why must twitter accounts, journalists and pundits be so resistant to adding one word I their analysis? Why is it so hard for them to type 4 letters to substantially make their claims, not only much more accurate but also realistic and includes. Honestly, why is it so freaking hard? I’m exhausted just by talking about this, imagine how women must feel.
The word is “men’s”
It’s not that hard or time consuming.
So many of these people that could be adding those 4 letters make the choice to not do that and that is maybe worse than just lacking the knowledge but if you lack the basic knowledge then I find it hard to explain how they have a job where they are in a position to express those inaccurate things.
I’m not in the business of making excuses or giving the benefit of the doubt and I can understand speaking publicly and that not being in the forefront of your mind, I totally understand that, but you can always tweet that you made a mistake or forgot to credit women or that they didn’t specify “men’s”
But if you run a twitter account/blog that has an audience, regardless of how big, I feel you have a responsibility to give factual information. Factual information is not opinion based, so saying that Southgate is the first England manager to take them to 2 major tournaments is WRONG. He isn’t. No matter how you look at it, semantics, figure of speech, implied meaning because of the picture attached, etc etc etc, it’s pretty simple: HE IS NOT.
And the person that posts these things is bothered by the reaction and they’re gonna add “men’s” to their posts just to appease people like me, then so be it because at the very least it would be factually correct.
Anyway, it’s exhausting and also invigorating because it motivates me to keep being a champion and focus on the things I can control.
