Jim was sexist alright, going on about his wife having to iron his shirts and s**t like that. I think Marc is sexist in a different way in that he speaks to women in more of a derogatory way then he would men so therefore he treats women worse than men

Hmm. I don't see that as sexist, possibly because I have so many mates who talk a bit like marc and I know for a fact they don't think they are better than women or anything like that, they just have filthy ****ing mouths :laugh: Infact thinking about it, this may also be why I don't find most of the things he says offensive. Living and drinking in Newcastle kinda toughens you up to stuff like that :S

White male praised for saying derogatory things to females, and gets away with it because it is "banter".

Harmless black female, who also happens to be a lesbian says pussy a few times, and is vilified for it, evicted first, to deafening boos and verbal abuse.

Sexism, racism, and double standards doesn't even begin to cover it.

You can't have opinions on whether someone is sexist/racist, they just are. :laugh:

Summed up perfectly.

and the problem was not skin colour but charm

she had none and marc has a fair bit



simples

Marc has charm? he's as charming as a slap in the face with a trout :laugh:

Of course you can.

Wrong. He's got no charm.

I forgot telling a girl who you've only known for twenty minutes to get an STI test is charming.
The fact you mentioned only skin colour out of all the other possibilities is kind of revealing too. :suspect:

You pretty much admitted above he is sexist you're just harded to it.

I forgot having "charm" meant you can say whatever you like.

Perched for Marc saying the N word. Oh wait, it's fine when he says a racially offensive word, because he's "charming".

It's just banter!!!1!

It'll just be banter with Gina i guess

Emily BB8 teas.

Not quite. I don't find him sexist, it MAY be because I'm used to comments such as his..I don't know

A good example of how you can actually have an opinion on if someone is racist/sexist...it emily in bb8. Some swear she is racist for using the N word, other swear she isn't.

Making jokes about women doesn't automatically mean 'sexism' !

Making jokes about race doesn't automatically mean 'racism'.

There is too much knee-jerk 'burn the witch' response whenever anyone makes any kind of racial/sexual joke these days.

Swear words are offensive. Do you want them all banned?

How about adjectives like 'lazy' or 'smelly'. They may cause offense too.

How about we ban everything that isn't happy and then we can all live like it's a 24hr new year's eve! Won't that be great?!!!!!!!!

Its a bit of Irish banter


the chicks dig it

:umm2:

I'm not saying he didn't read the room wrong when he said the STI joke, only that it wasn't sexist.

And let's be honest here. Mark is charming. Jade said it when he came in, that he'll seduce them with his charm and with the exception of Harry he's done pretty much that. The housemates are pretty much in universal agreement that they don't like the things he says but they still mostly say that ultimately they like him. That's charm in action. His charm doesn't work on everyone but there's a difference "I don't find him charming" and "He's not charming". The lad has charm and charisma, it's plain as day.

I don't think anyone is that ignorant to say him saying the N word is banter :laugh:

erm?

It's banter.
