    Ah yes, one man bad means all men bad. Good argument from OP and that other mouth breather.

      You’re the only one resorting to name calling though.

      No one said McGregor represents all men. You are the only one to conflate this man with all men.

        That other commenter was very clearly attacking men as a gender when whining about the UFC. I don’t even like the UFC but it was blatantly sexist.

          Regardless of gender, if you’re sexist you should never feel like you’re taken seriously.

          And I was replying to this line directly.

          McGregor is being taken seriously despite being sexist. And a rapist.

            Why are you conflating that with me taking McGregor seriously? I think he should get hit by a bus and lose everything that makes him special.

              I was just expanding on your comment, I should have noted specifically that you’re correct but that McGregor is proof we’re not there yet as a society. I agree with your statement. Apologies my comment wasn’t clear.
