Yeah it does seem there are different standards depending on the gender

I think its more the point of simulating sex rather than them being half dressed tbh.

Cheryl performed half dressed...no complaints were made. Most female stars wear next to nothing.


You can hardly compare a man standing in his boxers to a woman in underwear practically dry humping a dancer.

That said, I have no problem at all with them doing whatever they please...and I think complaints about this are very over the top.

True, it's just the poster on here who objected to it was mentioning that she didnt want her daughter talking about "how much of that womans arse they could see" so I thought the actual appearance may be a factor.

Just as an aside, you get performances every week on Strictly which are pretty raunchy with revealing outfits yet there's never a fuss over that

Yeah, I think some people just look for things to be 'outraged' about sometimes...

I think Frost Bite's response pretty much covers it, but there an important, if subtle, difference in terms of the way men and women react differently to visual stimulus and the intent and cycnicism behind the production. Someone walking on in a joking fashion in boxers is completely different. If he'd been suggestive and/or aggressively sexual or sexualised, I might feel differently. I n any event, I didn't see it, so can't really comment.

Myself and my daughter had almost exactly the same conversation the night Cheryl mimed around the stage in HER knickers. Don't see much difference, but the simulated sex did, as they say, put the tin hat on it.

Again, I don't watch Strictly Come Dancing, so I cannot comment, but my impression of ballroom dancing is that it's sensual rather than sexualised for effect. It's a very different thing.

More than anything, it's sad that women don't seem to believe that it's possible anymore to have a music career without playing the part of a prostitute. It's dangerous, women are being objectified and those of you who don't want to see this or decide to ignore it may well count the cost in the future.

But you could see his snake it was pratically bursting out, so it's ok for men, but not for women? and I think it's pathetic people complained.

But was he grinding against someone else?

As I said, noone seemed to have an issue with Cheryls barely there outfit...as her dance routine wasnt quite as raunchy as Christinas and Rihannas...

I think I may have to revisit the Daily Mail if the general consensus is that only its readers would find Saturday night's cheap, embarrassing attempt at 'entertainment' appropriate for what is, in effect, a children's show. I'm so glad internet forums weren't around when I was in my late teens. I'd probably have spouted some awful populist ****e too.
