'Male chauvinist'?..

[rusticgal]

Please would somebody please tell me what male chauvinistic behaviour Jim Davidson has shown on this series.
I can understand the shirt ironing incident...but in all honesty it is a female dominated activity merely because a majority of women work part time or are a full time housewives when young families are concerned....NOT all but most. It's all down to personal circumstances. Jim wasn't degrading about it but I can see how it can be construed as chauvanistic.
It's a bit of an era thing....however are people just condemning him because of 'hearsay'?....or have I missed something on CBB?

Please give me genuine examples and not open ended cliches...

[smeagol]

[Kazanne]

Jim probably said that before Linda got in there,LOL,and Rustigal I agree,people are just going on what they've been told and been fed over the years.Jim can iron his shirt and Luisa can go and mow the ****ing lawn!!

[Cherie]

Many people of the same generation as Jim will hold similar views as Jim. It is a generational thing. Having said that he sure can cook for someone who expects the Mrs to do everything.

[Sophiee]

the fact that he's never nominated or argued with a male might be a small hint as well as the **** that comes out of his mouth.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Only picking arguments with girls, offering to cook only for the guys, etc

There won't be any genuine examples Rusty...Jim's just of his day, as am I.
I must be the biggest male chauvinist that you've ever heard of! [and my granddaughters would agree with that. lol] because I certainly still am of the opinion that men were put on the earth to provide and protect their missus and kids, and to do his utmost to ensure that they are happy and safe.
And a woman's lot is to keep the home and love the kids as much as comes natural to mothers. [oh, and iron the shirts!]....Now you or anyone else around here can call me whatever you like...but please explain how this is wrong!....We're all equal, but just have different roles in life!...My late perfect wife and I got married in 1949 and we had the best 40 years imaginable before she was sadly taken from me, and held the same views of men + women as me....and if any young progressive character said to her that it was demeaning to her, and that we wer'nt equals...then they would definitely get put straight by my Gladys!

I also understand that today's youth think that they are somehow more enlightened, and that us old folk are a bit silly....but they can't show me how much happier women that are stuck at work are than those at home ironing a few shirts!...And I also am certain that kids are much happier when their mother is at home while dad is at work trying to get as much as he can for his family!...And i'll bet you as much money as you like that Jim feels the same way as me!...and that is why he openly labels himself as a male chauvinist,...because like me, he cannot for the life of him see why anyone should vilify him like many posters on this forum do, for it!

Cheers.

This, guy makes my blood boil with his views

[Slevin]

whatever some Jim fans need to tell themselves. i can at least admit my favorite is a very opinionated bitch who stirs **** up and is a sex hound. boogie woogie.

[optimisticcynic]

He's probably never nominated a male because he has several women to choose from who constantly have a go at him and huddle in circles slating him all day. I bond very easily with men because I find the interaction so uncomplicated. Nothing to do with sexism. Just a gender difference.

Jim said once, he was on a plane, and the captain came on the intercom, and she was a woman, and he got off the plane.

Chauvinism is derived from the French, chauffeur, the fellow who shoveled the coal into the steam engine, from chaude, French for hot, as opposed to froide, or cold. It was a man's job.

[rusticgal]

Only picking arguments with girls, offering to cook only for the guys, etc

Well it's only the girls (well Linda,Luisa and Jasmine) that have been vindictive towards him. Neither Liz Sam or Casey have called him that....he seems to get on with them fine. I don't recall Jim only cooking for the 'boys'....you sure you have that right?....
By the way the three women who have an issue are three feminists very much equivalent to a male chauvanistic IMO...

His response to Luisa not cooking for him and Lionel was to offer to cook for the boys, which is VERY revealing of the inner workings of his sexist mind.

[rusticgal]

This, guy makes my blood boil with his views

....and what views are they?

No one has made a substantiated comment yet.... Jim calls himself a male chauvanist so that's good enough is it to label him so.
A girl or man considers himself ugly....does that make them so?....no I think not.

Isn't it named after one of Napoleon's supporters and it originally just meant nationalist or something like that?

Yeah.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvinism

Chauvinism, in its original meaning, is an exaggerated patriotism and a belligerent belief in national superiority and glory.[1] Its eponym is a French soldier Nicolas Chauvin, who was badly wounded in the Napoleonic wars. He received a pension for his injuries but it was not enough to live on. After Napoleon abdicated, Chauvin was a fanatical Bonapartist despite the unpopularity of this view in Bourbon Restoration France. His single-minded blind devotion to his cause, despite neglect by his faction and harassment by its enemies, started the use of the term.

By extension, it has come to include an extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of any group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards rival groups. Jingoism is the British parallel form of this French word, but its meaning has not expanded beyond nationalism in the same way that the word chauvinism has.

A contemporary use of the term in English is in the phrase male chauvinism.

Watch it back Jim offered to cook for everyone and Luisa declined, that was when he offered the compromise of cooking for the boys and Luisa cooking for the girls when she declined that he said he would have toast.

Aw Lex you are lovely x

I was wrong. I thought it was the chauffeur connection. I.e, driver. Male chauvinism means men should drive, but apparently that's incorrect.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Watch it back Jim offered to cook for everyone and Luisa declined, that was when he offered the compromise of cooking for the boys and Luisa cooking for the girls when she declined that he said he would have toast.

No it wasn't, he took Luisa refusing to cook for him and Lionel and then projected it to all the women and offered to only cook for the men.

[Cherie]

Watch it back my version is 100 per cent correct.

[Macie Lightfoot]

lol k keep telling yourself that

[Nemo123]

Without Wiki, I still think male chauvinism means that men should drive, or lead.

My mistake was to think Chauvinism was related to chauffeur.

He didn't say it on CBB did he?..... Just want people judging his 'male chauvanism' on what has been seen on CBB... He has been on our screens for over 2 weeks and there doesn't seem much proof for people to judge him....and your example therefore doesn't really count.

No he didn't say it on BB. It was quite funny actually. Very Jimbo. This is his schtick. This is why he's funny.

Fair point.....

Luisa wouldn't have reacted to a female in that way IMO...but I am not making excuses....as I said you have made a fair point.
