Its irrelevant imo. Its not a nice word used in whatever context and for whatever reason. Double standards on this forum as always. Lewis was slaughtered for using it..not for his reasons.

Exactly, Rustic. Context is beside the point. They're basically saying is it's fine for her but not for him. Double standards indeed.

I don't recall you being very bothered when Lewis was spouting it off. Aren't you showing double standards right now?

..he wasn’t ‘slaughtered’ by me for using the word..only criticised for the context ...and the same applies to Brooke, the context applied much more ....that’s not double standards, it’s consistancy ...
