Kay and anamelias hatred by the public whereas you have people like Cameron getting praised and Issac being ignored kinda raises the question. I’d say Issac at the very least is far worse than both of them yet hasn’t received a fraction of the negative attention they have. Do you think there’s a hint of a double standard?

Yeah it’s always been the way. Men get away with murder on Big Brother just for being “hot” while women are usually “skanks” “slags” and “hags”

Absolutely yes. For a woman who's a big character to be popular by the public they ALWAYS have to show some sort of meek vulnerability and humility to be defended. I can think of almost no popular female HMs this doesn't fit with and there was never a time when the full-on confrontational one was popular despite it happening numerous times with male housemates

imo, only women who are "non-threatening" to voting public do well
sad really

Well, think back a few years to the girl that got evicted because she made a remark about tesco workers .... The public wanted Kay gone the moment she said she was a nice person. There seems much less tolerance toward women. Lewis F can bully women, then hide in a corner etc etc and he is gods gift to the show.

The only explanation that makes sense is that the majority of voters are a very specific female demographic
