Which one is the better footballer.
My money is on the sheila.

Did a graduate diploma course in America many years ago.

Some of the femanist course members bailed me up one day and were having a go at aussie males.

Said " You guys call all your women Shirley, don't you?

I replied that was news to me . Didn't like my answer and one of them basically started getting nasty. Told me that we did and that she had seen an aussie film called
" A town like Alice." Accused me of basically lying.

I twigged. Oh. I think you mean sheila, yeah you are right, we did once but that was years ago.

Guess I was wrong.

I don't understand, does this mean the term "bloke" is also taboo?

I know a lot of American women who love our vernacular, especially rhyming slang. They had no issue with the term "sheila".

Is this another first world problem l should be worried about or happy that it's deemed a problem / issue?
