The latent misogyny is not only disgusting but it's also quite scary.

Also if it emerged that someone like Jale or Kimberly had been a prostitute, I can almost guarantee those terms wouldn't be used as much as they are for Helen, it's just because it's her that they are. And just because she's acting like a **** in the house it doesn't give people the right to drag up totally irrelevant issues and use misogynistic terminology. Criticise her present actions, not her past.

I don't agree with calling her a slag etc but I can understand why her past is being brought up when she's trying to act like the beacon of morality and girl power over this shower business
