Someone really sexist would expect the women to do the cooking and certainly would not specially cook for just one of them.
He also ran around after them with tea as well.

It is all very well being selective as to the negatives of Jim but I saw far more positives as to him,as very clearly and in a big way as well did the viewers voting too.

Well done Jim...I couldn't have done it...I would have strangled Linda with Luisa's gizzards, and been evicted to great boo's , pretty sharpish! :devil:

No doubt many would have have happily strangled him with the equally sexist Dappy's gizzards.

One could also argue that your extreme feminist views are clouding YOUR judgement of Jim. Yes Jim is sexist, but it isn't just men that can be sexist you know, Luisa is extremely sexist too, but that's ok because she's a woman eh?... And Luisa & Linda were the ones who continually goaded & provoked Jim, Luisa herself admitted that she was lead on by Linda to do it. One wonders if you actually watched the show at all, let alone with rose tinted glasses on! :joker:

Most of their words were in response to his, what were they supposed to do -put up and shut up, isn't that what Jim's type of man expects. Certainly women today wouldn't have the choices they have if other women weren't strong enough to face the riducule from some in order to express their views.

Whatever anyone thinks of Louisa, she said what she thought, and was not scared of the backlash. She will always have control of her own life unlike the many women out there who will just jump from one relationship to the other looking for a man to look after them. I know which woman I would rather be.

Jim was typical of his generation in many ways and people want to applaud him for it. So he did a bit of cooking - doesn't negate his sexist views in my eyes.

Also, it doesn't take Einstein to realise that when one sex constantly belittle the other on the basis of their sex - it is likely to create a reverse sexist view in the other group. The bullied are not likely to have a very high opinion of the bullies are they? Eventually the stronger ones will retaliate. Human nature. The ones that initially caused the situation are the problem.

She did goad Jim & if it were through veiled jokes or not, she was still goading him. If you count Jim's jokey comments as goading then surely it should count for Luisa too! :joker:

Sorry but I feel you are seeing, Linda particularly, through rose coloured glasses too.

A bit of cooking??.
He did it himself or helped with cooking most days and the one thing that does show, with all respect to you,is a big lack of substance as to your description of him as a wholly sexist individual.

100% spot on, the hetro men haters here cant hack it jimbo was a far better housemate and beat them fair and square. the only sexism in that house came from the women and one or 2 stupid comments from dappy and lionel. the rest was man hating all the way from linda and luisa and of course back up from the spineless sam.

A total contradiction..

First you say the only sexism came from the women then you openly say that Dappy and Lionel were sometimes sexist...All in one sentence.

I thought they were hilarious myself, and they didn't seem like "veiled" jokes either. But you'll have to give me proper examples of her goading, because I have missed it.

but luisa and linda had depe rooted sexism, a male hatred and double standard that ran through everything they said and did 24 hours a day. they thought they had the right to abuse belittle insult swear at and slander men and yet didnt feel men had the right of reply. when they did reply, they couldnt handle it. total sexism man hating misandrist hypocrites. its sad you feel the same way, perhaps you should open up with you follow this line of thought?

Yes but you didn't get to see them 24 hours a day, you saw a 46 minute edit so how can you say they were sexist 24 hours a day?

because they are at heart sexist. they cant just switch it off and on. they were sexist to jimbo throughout. in every minute of every show. It is therefore quite logical and intelligent to deduce they are sexist man haters for the rest of the day too.
Im glad to be here to educate you

I wouldn't say its very intelligent to believe everything you see on tv especially when its highly edited.
