There's a reason that this is the second most read of all my FEMINIST GIANT essays. I wrote it just before the Euros finals last year and I began it with news of another #MUFC legend, Ryan Giggs, who is on trial for abuse feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-f… #MasonGreenwoodOUT
"Sunday's statement regarding the arrest of a man on suspicion of rape and assault comes just under a fortnight since Manchester United great Ryan Giggs's trial on charges of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and her sister was delayed until August because of a backlog in the courts"
I have supported Manchester United since 1976, when I was nine years old The news coming out about #masongreenwood is a reminder--another--that football is one of the many outlets that patriarchy offers to cisgender men as an excuse to treat us like shit. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-f…
On the pitch, off the pitch, from managers to players to the men who support them: patriarchy fuels a dangerous cocktail of toxic masculinity in football as well as many other men’s sports. #MasonGreenwoodOUT
And the abusive behaviour of superstars like #Mason_Greenwood must be directly connected to the behaviour of abusers in the stands and in the pubs who watch them. The through line is patriarchy.
