Big Sister
 

Do you think its sexist that they called it big brother?

I mean men rule the world as it is, so why not make it slightly more equal, and call it big sister.

Yeah it is sexist! Right on sister

But if it was Big Sister, it would be called sexiest again

They could have called it Big Transexual :sad:

:hugesmile:
Big ******

Lol yeah i can imagine that actually ''big ****** house this is davina...'' haha :joker:

The phrase 'Big Brother' was born before the gameshow that we're talking about. So it's tradition not sexism.

The name 'Big Brother' come from the book 1984. From the libe 'Big Brother is watching you.' That the only reason its called Big Brother - It was originally gonna be called Red Alert or something like that.

:joker:

Authoritarian Sibling?

Big ****** would be funny! But BB4eva's right- Big Brother is a character (?) in George Orwell's 1984.

kinda but ive never seen it in that way

Yeah it was George Orwells book, cant remember the name, but its meant to be really dull.

My classmates had to do an assigment for it in English, but I got moved down so I didnt have to.

Yes it is sexist Lol

But big brother sounds bettewr than big sister
but they should make a show called big sister as part of BB

The book was 1984 :bored:

Lmao that would be good

Big Brother is a term used for an over-seeing person and from the book 1984 which is an excellent book indeed! I've always looked at it like say, you are a big brother (older brother) and you have to watch over your younger brother/sister. But of course it can go to far and end up something like the BB house or as in George Orwell's book, the whole world

Yea, i have an older berother wonder if he thin ks that about me

dont think so men couldnt rule anything let alone the world

It called Big Brother cos of 1984.

It is Big Brother because of an immensely famous book 1984 :thumbs:

And were living in a big brother world [C.C.T.V] on every damn corner of your nearest City.

And it doesn't sound as [threatening] as big sister lets face it. :rolleyes:

It's not dull, it's a great book IMO. The phrase 'Big Brother is watching you' was well known before this show. It's not sexist at all.
