Default Is it time to move on from this war of the sexes rubbish?

Honestly it’s like being back at school “girls are better than boys,boys are better than girls rah rah rah”
Is Big Brother just perpetuating division?

I don't think there was anything about a "war of the sexes" in the launch? Unless you think celebrating females and their right to vote is a slight against men?

Celebrating being a woman and how far we've come since we got the vote isn't a war on men

I think men and women can celebrate that without removing men from the launch and banning them from the crowd.It all just came over abit pretentious and boring tbh.

But is having a man free zone for a week promoting equality or a gynocentric female superiority complex?

And if they can do that should they reintroduce Yorkie as a male only chocolate bar?

They can still have the theme.Just take the sexism out.Show that feminism is about equality and not further perpetuate the feminazi stereotype.

The theme is strong women and womens rights, Im equal to my husband,but we both have different rolls ,he's the breadwinner and Im the housewife, a perfectly good,happy relationship thats how it should be, women will never be able to do all men do and visa versa, just shut up and carry on girls ( not you Niamh,just women in general )

I thought it was OTT to have an all female crowd and all female BOTS. It was too contrived and pretentious. Talk about overkill.

Women got a 4 day start basically.
The theme was to celebrate women getting the vote 100 years ago, can't see a problem with it myself.
I am all for them trying something new to try and keep the show fresh.

If that works for you Chuff then all power to you, for me, we both work full time and share the household responsibilities and that works for us, I don't see the relevance any of that has to the theme still though?

If a woman wants to be on top I'm not going to argue.

Sure they do, but none of them played a role in the BB launch. If there were "Tumblr feminists" moaning about mansplaining or wage gaps, you might have a point. But there weren't so you don't.
