So when a poster says that the female broadcasters need to "get a room" with Connor, or that one of them is "getting wet" over him - that's ugly, crude and misogynistic junk. And it should be called that.

The problem isn't that the misogynistic card gets pulled quickly. In fact the problem is historically it's been pulled far too slowly.
That may be. In fact I agree with it. My concern is, I have yet to see a poster get suspended for saying the same things to/about male sports figures or other posters on this forum. Saying 'get a room', or 'has an erection' over someone they are fawning over seems to be ok. I think this is a double standard. Allow both or neither. I have absolutely seen those exact type of comments directed a male personalities/posters with no repercussion.
