I hate this idea that men should always pay on dates too. Why?
I was also completely shocked. I was the only FM that seemed to disagree with Simone on the highlights thread. I just couldn't understand that anyone could agree that Sam should have volunteered to go up just because he was a man. Seems just sexist.

This is probably just because people don't like Sam and like Isabelle tbh. So many will overlook blatantly wrong things as they dislike/like the person involved.

I didn't see anyone agree to the be a man comment not sure

but it's more of a decent human being moral type thing. If Isabelle let Sam took it then i would lose a little bit respect for her.

I get people being pissed he didn't fight but I have seen 2 people on here today specifically run with the 'be a man' reasoning. As if being a male means he wants to win any less. If anything, if we are stereotyping, being a man would make one more competitive, not less

Edit. Actually just seen another in another thread, that you agreed with http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...9&postcount=31 . Not specifically saying he should go as he is a man, but heavily implying it with the 'he could have insisted on letting the woman stay' part


Its just pretty silly reasoning. Man/woman is neither here nor there.

Well that is wrong for them to do that of course and i agree with you, I also remember when Arthur said Kayleigh wasn't a woman and some people agreed with that which is more stereotyping and a woman and a man don't have to act like that way. it's 2017

oh mess, I didn't really see the woman bit i just agree with the Raph thing, other people should have pressed it and Sam should have offered too.

I didn't hear him say that even at the time I know thats what she said he had said, but I thought he had called her a **** or something and she had taken it the wrong way. What on earth did he mean she wasnt as woman?! What an odd thing to say

God, looking back on that...they were all so shocked that the C word had been used. Then a week or so later it was the most used word in the house

I did it was after he called her a **** and he was standing by a door and said "you're no woman" or something like that. It's one of the snob comments from a posh guy who still thinks a woman should act like a certain way. old fashioned really

Also another sexist thing i've seen on here...Isabelle got called a skank,slut,slag etc and Kieran didn't get called that when he said he slept with 300 women (i really hate those words)
