I would never see myself as a sexist but two events happened that made me see we are so different.
EVENT ONE - I was in East London watching the Tour de France in the rain and the multi-cultural community were out in force. The race got nearer and nearer and as they sped by I heard countless women turn to their men and utter 'is that it then?' To which the men, from Asia, Africa and Europe, as well as a few Brits responded with 'I waited all my life to see that'. The woman of the species then retorted 'what a waste of time, we could have gone shopping'.
EVENT TWO - Watching the Brazil vs Germany game and seeing the utter disbelief on especially women faces when Germany's first, then second, then third goals went in was a picture, but as the mauling progressed it was clear to see the male / female responses. Male response - watch the game and see how wonderful the opposition played and applaud the goals going in. Female response - I saw women on mobiles, some talking to each other and laughing so they weren't interested in the game and one lady was sat there doing here makeup.
I love watching male and female sports as the participants have the same desire and will to win. But the spectator version are as different as chalk and cheese.
