My problem with Sam's remarks is not content as much as context. Just like people have different "voices" they use whether they're talking to their parent or their friends or their employer, there are different levels of acceptability in behavior. Sam seems to feel he has the right to speak to everyone in the same manner he'd speak in a locker room. Nobody has taught him otherwise, but instead of coddling and thinking "oh, isn't he silly," he should be corrected for that behavior, whether it's the women in the house telling him it's not ok, or BB calling him up for it.

I wonder how many of the people saying it's no big deal would feel the same if it was their mother or their daughter being chased around in the workplace by some strange man making crude comments to her or forcing her to kiss him.
