This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard when I'm voting for the winner I don't care who they're friends with. It shouldn't matter.

It's not just the pay, it's the inequality in all manner of areas. And while things are getting better really quickly in this country, if you look at the wider world the picture is, to say the least, grim.

Yeah of course the treatment of women in the third world is appalling
But personally I’ve delved into both sides of the debate and I don’t women have it worse than men in the first world. It’s a pretty huge debate but yeah most of the main talking points of feminism for example are either untrue or apply to men too imo

The post of this thread for sure.
Well said and 100% right.

If I find them entertaining then they have my support. Their views are important, but mostly I want to be entertained

I work in the legal profession... sexism is alive and well.I must say I've not experienced it much since I qualified, but I've seen some appalling things. And I really don't agree that suddenly, because there's been some legislation, that there are no more problems affecting women exclusively. It's like trying to claim there is no more homophobia and no racism.

Anyhoo... off topic...

And the pay gap doesn’t exist it doesn’t account for different hours work and different job positions.

I’ve worked at 3 different part time jobs while studying and I’ve never seen a girl get paid less than a male purely because lmao woman. In fact two of my bosses were female. You could make the statement that there aren’t enough girls in power which like there’s inconsistencies in it but fine but there’s nothing at all stopping a woman getting to the top of her field, nor stopping her getting full pay?

The pay gaps don't happen at entry level or even middle management, they do exist higher up. Its a fact, women of child bearing age get over looked for promotions, in case they dare to take maternity...etc etc. There is still sexism faced but thankfully, it is being eroded.

So I half agree with you there

[poppsywoppsy]

There have been many tribunals where the pay gap has been proved, the BBC for one. Look at Clare Baldings wages against Gary Lineker. That's one the Gay community might get behind too.

Personal experience cannot be held as a yardstick because you wouldn't find out in these conglomerate companies because it wouldn't be publicized.

It is only because the BBC is funded by license money that it has to make it known and even then took its time.

Women, not just feminists, have fought against this but many women with families and jobs just didn't have the time or money or clout to make inroads into this anomaly.

Hmm, why do I not believe that?

Avid Andrew supporter switches to Shane J? Not a bit suspicious.

And suddenly hated Ann, even after supporting them at the beginning of the series, going as far to have her as an avatar.

I don't care who supports who (whom) for what reasons to to call others ridiculous is a little rich

I'm not even friends with Vanessa and I know she has always supported Shane J. If I recall she voted for Shane rather than Andrew in the last eviction.

Not that it's actually any of your business how long somebody has supported a housemate to be quite honest.

Maybe she got sick of the eye rolling or heard about Ann supporting conversion therapy?

Exactly.
I hope you just ignore the unnecessary comments Vanessa.

A win for Shane J,would be a win for Shane J/Courtney only no one else.

a lot + probably alll



i bet 95% are not even eligible to vote yet so not sure how the voting history of a past politician concerns them

I mean i hope they would not use that to justify hate?

No i am sure they would not, I for one, have faith in our teens - as MJ said "I believe the children are the future"
