My God people. Yes it's immature and not that funny etc, etc, etc.


But it's not sexism. With that logic calling Bouma extremely manly is also sexism.

Give it a rest.

How is it not sexist to imply that girls are inferior people?

I am not saying that I am personally offended by it (because my personal opinion is that saying you are offended by something is ridiculous) but I am saying that it reflects very poorly on this board and Flames fans in general if people dont call out that bs when it keeps popping up.

I actually find it remarkable the shift in our views on Sexism since 2004. I know that personally mine have changed and I no longer make comments regarding the Sisters etc. I just call them the Bobble-head twins now.

To add to this. This picture from the preview thread made me laugh hard.

I used 'the sisters' many times before as well. I am definitely not trying to take a holier than thou stand!

For the last time, it's not inferring that women are inferior, therefore it is not sexist. Have you seen two girls ever fight on the ice? I haven't. If it happens, it's extremely rare. "Sedin Sisters" implies that the Sedin's play like girls in that they don't play the tough guy style since girls hockey is typically not known for being tough guy style. Is tough guy style hockey superior? You be the judge. Some would argue free flowing "euro" style is more entertaining.

Additionally, the "Sedins 2 girls, no Cup" gag is a reference to a disgusting internet joke. It doesn't make sense to say "Sedins, 2 brothers no Cup" because the joke doesn't make sense then. Again, nothing to do with sexism.

So I say again, give it a rest. Or don't ever say someone one the ice is manly when you watch the playoffs, because by those same criteria, calling someone manly is sexist. Sedin sisters is a classic joke, so relax.

I'm not sure if you could come up with a better one word description than "CLASSIC"

Haha.

(Or sexist, given the blatant use of women as objects to sell the spot)

Very first page and we are into a god damn sexism debate.

That seems a little far fetched to me, but even still, it is correcting my view that it is using a negative stereotype of females by saying that it is in fact a positive stereotype of females?

If people insist on continuing the 'two girls no cup' type of humour, then maybe we should have a discussion as a board about this in a separate thread.

MOD EDIT: Not at all appropriate or called for.

I think this thread should have a lot of negative stereotyping in it. If it's aimed at the canucks, it's fine. If you're the kind of person who gets offended by people making fun of the canucks, this thread probably isn't for you and you should only be mad at yourself for coming in here.

The very first post made that debate inevitable.

And Starseed is right. It isn't 2004 anymore. It's time to grow up and move beyond the easy, tired, sexist jokes.

If people want to discuss sexism further then please start a new thread in the appropriate subforum.

In terms of images referring to the Sedins as sisters or girls, we agree that that can die a quiet death so please refrain from posting such images.
