Big Brother Africa condemned over housemate's punch

Blimey ..... :eek:

Big Brother is so old, this was happening on The Real World way back in 1998.
Get with the time BB.

Surely, the point is, why is it STILL happening ?

:conf:

Gender violence isn't something to gloat about TRW.

First an almost rape, then an riot + hostage and now violence.

ALRIGHT BB AFRICA ! Keep it going !

They were both to blame. The article is totally misleading BS. First its not BBUK< so peolpe dont automatically get kicked off for fighting. Second, I dont care if it s agirl, dont throw punches or act violent if you dont except the same thing back. I dont care who you are. Unless women want to go back to the times when they were second class citizens, they they shouldnt be treated like delicate flowers, if they act like thugs!





the girl is even bigger than the dude!

Big Brother Africa contestant evicted for violence


In a civilised society, men hitting women is almost always wrong -casual violence towards women, for whatever reason, must be eradicated .....

I didn't see any punch in that video - he just pushed her head away, and then pushed her away.

It wasn't that bad. :laugh2:

It was violent, it doesn't have to be "bad" .....

ALright, yeah!!! The guy should be kicked out! I just rewatched the clip without sound, and HE was the aggressive one to be homest, regardless of what was being said.

Rewatch the clip near the fight, with no volume on, and you can tell, he was the one getting aggressive with the body language.

But thats the thing though, for me, I wouldve kicked him out, even if the genders was reversed in this case. The point is, weather its a girl or a boy, it does not come into determining, who was wrong!

Whoa!? What the fu**.....

Anyone else surprised that they are speaking English in Big Brother Africa?

Errm, why the hell would anyone be surprised by that?

unless you are a real sheltered ignorant dumbass!

actually if you watch that again, he was the one who stood up and got in her face and started pointing his finger at her, then he pushed the side of her head before she pushed him back.

Edit : Just saw your newer post Wildcat!

Man...

That is great TV.

Not really.

The show is based in SA, where a lot of people speak English (a large proportion speak Afrikaans, but that isn't widely spoken in the rest of the continent, which BB would be broadcast to) and most people in sub-Saharan Africa speak either English or French as a first language anyhow as a result of colonial history.

Yeah, a common language is a necessity, as there are an estimated 2,000 languages spoken in Africa .....

Why are you getting all defensive?

I've never met a black African where English was his first language. I was expecting to see them speaking in their own native tongue. After all the show is in Africa. If it was German or French Big Brother and they were speaking English. I would have asked the same question.

Thanks for this response.

Why is it wrong just for men to hit women?

There are many reasons, but i'll just point out the main two for you. Physiology and History.


1- Physiology. Men are physically stronger than women. A man hitting a woman will cause more damage than a woman hitting a man. Simple physiology.

2- History. Heterosexual men have a very long history of violence against women. There is no such history of violence by women against heterosexual men.


Welcome to the world. :wavey:
