Why rugby needs women at top
Nowhere in the article does the clown of an author make a case for the assertion that “rugby needs women at the top”.
Well, so far at least, most of the comments under the article are heartening.
A female friend refers to this as “Noah’s Ark equality” where somehow we are supposed to have two of every kind onboard in every organization.
The pinnacle example of “gender equality”stupidity is our title 9 requirements at the federal level.

(and that’s one VERY poorly written article!)
Yup and yup,hard to get a good journalism education in with communist prog 101 and 18th century Bulgarian transgender studies classes getting in the way.
I read some of these “news” articles and wonder if they are really some sort of encryption or just the ramblings of a deranged metal patient on his cell wall?
My comment, which I will never see the light of day I suspect.
“Why stop there, Dana? Are you racist or something? Clearly we need to have at least one black person, one Asian person and one Maori on the board. Also we need a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jew, A Sikh and a Buddhist. All boards must also have a Bisexual, a Homosexual, a Lesbian and a Transgender representative.
This might seem like a lot of people but you can double or triple up on certain identifiers. For instance, a Transgender Asian Jew would tick three boxes at once, although finding a Lesbian Maori Muslim might be a bit difficult.
With a little effort we can ensure that the only people not represented on a Rugby Board of Directors are Straight White Males.
And thank God for that, just as long as you’re not thanking the God of the Christians…”
As suspected. Comment remains absent.
A bit too close to the bone I suspect.
I get the impression that NZ males are getting a little tired of Nanny – and not before time.
I liked this comment, too:
“Look outside the window ladies. Are you surrounded by a city or town? Guess what, men built it. All the roads, the buildings, the power grid, sewerage systems, houses, shops, hospitals, ports, airfields…… everything. Surrounded by farmland? Guess what, men created it.
The fences, the implement sheds, the milking sheds, shearing sheds, races, irrigation networks, cleared paddocks, crops, ………….. everything. They all require maintenance and animal husbandry. Do you need to guess who does the 99% of all that?
Almost everything that enables your contemporary lifestyle in the west comes from the labour of men. The labour that kills them earlier and wracks their bodies in pained joints years later.
Female contribution in these demanding industries is virtually zero but every week there is the same petulant whinging claims of life being oh so tough because women aren’t obtaining powerful positions in organisations that they barely contribute to. Do you even register the unbelievable sense of entitlement you project? Honestly you are the embarassment of human history.
Men don’t need thanks, but you could at least avoid being such intrusive self righteous and demanding shrews.”
Dana needs another job,how about Highlining Timber?Commercial Crab fishing in the Bering Sea? Oh,I know Steel Erector working in the high iron.
Now admittedly I have seen women working in all those fields,they are few and far between,but none of them complain about gender equality in pro sports,they generally sit back,down some beer and enjoy the game.
I like women on top. Is that wrong?
Reminds me of the question I ask the “all sex is rape” trolls-
If she’s on top and likes it a lot,is it still rape?
I think that’s a micro disparagement right there. I’m surprised you’re still alive.
Do I need sensitivity training?
