<p>Why is it ok to call you a sheep fucker but career suicide to call an arab a goat/camel fucker, a gay a pillow biter or to allude to a woman being on her rags? Actually, I bet your boss would never dare say that to a Kiwi woman. I think what people are objecting to is<strong> this incredible double standard where you can say whatever the hell you like about one particular group, i.e. straight white men, but it's absolutely beyond the pale if they make similar comments about other groups. That's not a level playing field, that's one group basically being told to suck it up</strong> while others being actively encouraged to be offended at anything the perpetually outraged tell them to be offended about.</p>

<p>why do the media feel the need to get the sponsors to comment, are they wanting them to come out and say 'how atrocious, we will cancel our sponsorship deal immediately!!'</p>

<p>Why would anyone say that in public? Terrible PR, and a pretty shitty thing to say. No rights just because she's a stripper? What about if it was a girl in a short skirt? Same deal?</p> -

<p>Pretty much. Sponsors turned their backs on Tiger and Sharapova so it's a good source in a developing story. The Gallagher Group executive accepted an offer for an interview so it's not like her comments came off-guard as she was ambushed in the Countdown carpark.</p> -

They sell electric fences , they probably feel on safe ground with their customers saying something like that .<br><br>
Because I've led a sheltered life I know very little about strippers and such like but according to my favourite thread ever they usually have someone with them to stop the gropers/drunks? -

<p>I realize that, but seriously, with all that is going on in the world they seek out comment from a sponsor about a sports team they give money about a story on a stripper at a party?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting it was a women at Gallagher that made the comment too, woulda made more sense to say 'go away, this isn't news', I seriously doubt they are gonna go to Stuff and break the news of canning a sponsorship</p> -
<p>Someone is always offended about something these days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I call some of my mates of different ethnicities names what could be seen as racist and vise versa. People are probably offended by it, but who gives a shit, it has nothing to do with them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Re the stripper, I could guarantee she and every stripper under the sun have people try to grope them every time they're working. If you're going to take your clothes off in front of (usually) drunk strangers and wiggle your bits in their faces, with the specific intention of earning more money, surely putting up with the odd stray hand grabbing a feel of said bits comes with the job? And why only cry to the media when it's someone 'famous'? Nothing but attention seeking from all involved.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's a tip lady - if you don't like the hazards of your job, find yourself a new career.</p> -

<p>Jesus fuck.</p>
<p>Dear Chiefs rugby: the whole 'lifetime to build, seconds to destroy' reputation thing is actually true.</p>
<p>And Margaret Comer: go fuck yourself. The stripper was not some random girl who walked around with her clothes off. She was a stripper, hired for a job. There are rules.</p>

<p>This woman-hating attitude is terrible PR, and rather ugly.</p> -

<p>Exactly. One line about being concerned, investigating the allegations and further update to come = no problem. Instead they have a shitstorm, and only themselves to blame, for making the kind of extremely stupid comments that media LOVE.</p> -

<p>first time I witnessed her in action I just assumed she was hammered. but no, that's just how she is!</p>
