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.

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.

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.

Watch it back my version is 100 per cent correct.

lol k keep telling yourself that

Nemo123 22-01-2014 09:00 PM

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.
