She can do all that without underwear shots. What about all the women and girls who like football who don't look like her in their underpants? Something I'd wondered about. Perhaps Tillys Thighs might give us an opinion.

It's about gender identity and diversity. The right to be accepted for who you are within the Human Rights framework. The fact that it's sparked off a 4-page "debate" on a football fan forum only shows how much it is needed. Maybe, but the debate hasn't been solely about hergametoo. This thread would have had far less views had there not been photos of the girl with her bits hanging out. The campaign is important, the girls are doing great. In my opinion though, if you want to be taken seriously, you should avoid doing things which will attract certain types of attention which may contradict the message. I appreciate it splits opinion but it's almost funny tbh. Almost purposely ironic.

"WOMEN! Dress more conservatively or else men will only see you as an object and you won't be taken seriously and you will be open to abuse etc" :-|
Strong "she had it coming because of what she was wearing" rape apologist vibes coming from some of you here.
Unreal.

I'm split with this. Part of thinks it's a great campaign, can also tell Caz knows her stuff re football so no issues there. Another part of me doubts the sincerity of it. It screams "me, me, me". I'll try and be positive and give the benefit of the doubt to a good campaign. 😊 I'd assume she is very sincere about being a female, and not wanting to receive abusive tweets as a result.

Come back with something a bit less predictable next time.

Not sure it really needed to have been mentioned, tbh.

Unreal. Don't know what you mean Sleepy. These posters can't be sexist, some of their wives and mothers are female. My ten year old daughter is also Female. If posting on here about my concerns for modern role models for my daughter puts me in the same box as rape apologists then fk you.

Not sure it really needed to have been mentioned, tbh. Indeed. For all anyone here knows (who are not social media savvy) the pictures in question could well be pre ‘Her game too’ or historical. It seems the intention of posting them onto a public Rovers message board, was nothing more than a weak attempt to discredit Caz & all the fantastic work this campaign has done so far. You would like to think they’re the only ‘racy’ photographs of strangers the poster has saved to their device, though I will not hold my breath on that one.

Well done Caz and Her Game too. We need more Women and Girls to feel confident about attending games.
Shocking really that some creepy men have posted up old images of her to try and discredit the whole movement.
Ever heard of body positivity? Why should she be told by strangers on the internet that it’s not ok to be confident enough in her body to post it online.
Again, just weird and shows why we need the Her game too movement in the first place.

Unreal. These 2 paragraphs do not need to be together imo. I have 3 daughters and the first part of your post is something that I as a father deal with from time to time. Linking that to rape apologists is fairly offensive actually and you'd need to judge each poster with these views individually. My eldest is 14 for context.

This - I’ve followed Caz for a long time on Twitter (as I have a lot of other Gasheads) and I know she’s previously had issues with her weight and appearance - so if she’s now in a place where she feels good about herself and confident in the way she looks, then fair play to her. It shouldn’t detract from her as a Gashead & football fan (and a very knowledgeable one at that).
