Many fans said Salmin’s long-winded explanation for why they live apart – complete with feminist buzzwords and therapy-speak – made their eyes roll.
‘I don’t live with my partner at the moment, and we have such different, independent, busy lives,’ Salmin said.
‘We get to have so much of what we had when we were still single in our relationship.
‘But I wonder how much you can actually upkeep that when you do end up living together. So much of it is hetero-dynamic learnt behaviours that you might fall into.’
Her line about ‘hetero-dynamic learnt behaviours’ caused a firestorm on social media.
Collingwood loyalists had mixed reactions, with some even linking
Salmin’s comments to Moore’s performance woes – which led to footy
analyst Kane Cornes boldly calling for him to be dropped to the VFL this week.
Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi reposted a link to an article about
Salmin’s interview, writing in the caption, ‘Heteronormative learned
patriarch behaviours,’ along with a string of mocking emojis.
Meanwhile, one furious fan wrote online: ‘No wonder Darcy Moore is
playing so badly. His head is full of woke, politically correct, feminist rubbish.’
‘The sex had better be way better than spectacular to put up with that nonsense,’ another added.
‘This bloke has to be the wokest footballer in history,’ a third wrote.
‘Looking forward to the “heteronormative learned patriarch
behaviour round”,’ wrote one fan with their tongue firmly in cheek.
