Please don't act like this is so outrageous and unheard of because you know it isn't.

Regarding what Liz said, it's a saying millions of people say with no intention of being sexist because it's just manners. She didn't mean it's okay to swear at men she just meant it's especially worse for a man to do it to a woman, which it is. Are the people who give up their seats to women being sexist too? No. It's just a traditional value in this country
Ridiculous argument falling at every hurdle. Jim is as old as Colleen and with a history of alcohol dependence and obesity, far more likely to suffer from gastric complaints such as ulcers. Why, because he is male, should he have to do arduous tasks instead of Linda, and why must he, because he is male, HAVE to open doors or give up his seat for females - the same way you likely questioned why Jim should assume that a female would iron a male's shirts. If you will cry sexism from the rooftops, stand by your ideal as the people you preach to will not let you pick and choose.

How can you call Jim a twat for allowing a fellow contestant, who has berated him throughout the show, to take part in the show they are being paid for? The fact you mentioned her gender shows you have your own gender-biases so remember that in your future sanctimonious posts.
