Noting that none of the people criticizing it are pointing out one of the women is Hope Solo, domestic abuser, somewhat worsening the situation.
What's hers is hers and whats his is ours as usual. (Women get womens spaces, all other spaces must be divided equally.).
When confronted on it on good morning britain, comparing the all womens panel to the split gender panel on mens football, the response was;
He later referred to Rebekah Vardy’s tweet where she shared a picture of the ‘four pundits’ and asked, ‘what happened to equality?’ Piers said: ‘It’s not about being equal it’s about being just as unequal as the problem you’ve been shouting about for the last 100 years.’ Trying to shut him down, Susanna smirked: ‘Thank you, mansplaining women’s football to us.’
Pretty disgusting response too, demonstrating a good example of how feminism just causes women to gaslight men these days. You cannot deal with bad faith actors on their terms. The only response is to note they are bad faith actors and ignore them/exclude them from the discussion. When a feminist speaks, they should be marginalized.
Responses to Vardy basically have the same tone of hostility and derision, calling her stupid and ridiculous and saying she's got internalized misogyny and so on for asking where the male panelists were.
No actual justifications for the discrepancy beyond someone saying it's "Refreshing".
As Vardy noted, womens football deserves attention and support and this kind of exclusion of men ensures men will basically lose interest and it won't get that, demonstrating how feminist mentalities once again harm women. Doubtless this entire incident will disappear down the memory hole when it comes time to discuss why people don't like womens football as much and suddenly it'll be all patriarchies fault.
