Enjoy (video, 26:00). The format was one I’m used to, a pro-feminist host (a man, in this case) and three hostile feminists.

Thank you for your work. As you said scenes of emotion at a “triumph”. Rubiales was clearly overjoyed at the win. Women footballers keep “demanding” men take them seriously , and here was the head of Spanish football demonstrating his fulsome support. A little undignified perhaps but you’d think he’d be forgiven for such a display of sheer joy. After all isn’t not expressing feelings part of “toxic masculinity”. It would seem prudent for men in general to give women’s football a very wide berth if even enthusiastic support is to be punished.

Just posted the following comment,
“What an absolute load of visceral and arbitrary rubbish. Three feminists (not including the host) against one anti-feminist, who were allowed to repeatedly interrupt. That joke of a debate made the BBC look impartial.
Some of the comments : “Kissing without consent, sexual assault, misogyny, coercion, the kiss is symbolic, 5 years in prison, patriarchal society, molested”.
I actually wonder if this was a wind up. If so, I fell for it. “
