"Women tend not to be able to throw things, tantrums excepted, very well"

That's by far the highest-rated comment on John Ashdown's Women's World Cup round-up for the Guardian, a round-up which proceeded to (mostly) ignore the fact Germany v. Canada was great entertainment, and focus on the incredibly subjective question of whether women goalkeepers aren't as technically adept as their male equivalents.

This in Britain's so-called progressive newspaper. One gets the impression the UK has a long way to go in accepting the women's game.
