BTW, it heard it from the wife who read it out to our daughter from one of her 'Cosmopolitan' mags. I suppose the wife and Cosmo are sexist too.

“That’s over 5,000 stores where families and individuals will no longer be automatically exposed to Cosmo’s hypersexualised and degrading article titles that regularly promote pornography, sexting, BDSM, group sex, anal sex, and more, all while marketing toward young teens with Disney star cover models"

.........but also don't show legs and cleavage at the same time girls!!

Some take things so seriously, life is too short to be on high alert all the time for those perceived 'ists'.

People who usually aren't one of the 'ists' can put their hands up and admit when they're wrong. They don't try to pass off slutshaming as a joke and then lash out at people for pointing it out.

I would if I WAS wrong. It was a light hearted remark, no offense meant at all.

I'm not going to crumble because some people chose to make a big ole mountain out of it because its me. I'm not daft. [emoji23]

A tip jet; if your sexist jokes only have other men laughing and most women are saying it's sexist, then it's probably sensible to think "hmm was I maybe being a bit sexist?" and not "you meanies just don't understand my stellar sense of humour!"

But according to the Telegraph, Meghan wanted the 90-minute special to be
broadcasted on the BBC.

However, a source claimed the corporation was not involved in the fierce bid
war for international rights.

The source said: "We're not going to pull out the chequebook for that."

Instead of airing the "tell-all" interview, the BBC will broadcast a
Commonwealth Day celebration.

This special will feature messages from the Queen as well as Prince Charles,
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince William and Kate, the Duchess
of Cambridge.

It is believed negotiations for international rights involved Sky and ITV.

In the past, Princess Diana’s interview with BBC Panorama shook the world,
but she was said to later regret some of the things she said.

Now, the Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers said the Oprah interview is a
"disaster waiting to happen".

There have been other posts today, calling Meghan TRASHY, isn't that sexist? but no - one batted an eyelid. Hmmm....
