Sexism and double standards have always been rampant with this show (Melanie in BB1 was single and kissed two guys on the lips = ***** of Babylon vs. Claire having a boyfriend or seven or nine years or something but having a will they-or-won't they thing with Craig = public ships them; Siavash cheats on his girlfriend = is pitied because he threw it all away for True Love vs. Noirin being seen as a skank and a tease for making out with him but then hanging out with her REAL LIFE boyfriend ; etc.) but Channel 5 is ridiculous with it all. CBB13 was basically one huge "men are great women are evil" propaganda (and was even won by a misogynist) and they seem to love casting women like Helen, Kimberly, and Danielle who all have used their sexuality in various jobs and whatnot but don't bring those aspects of their lives into the house. Meanwhile, we have someone like Benedict whose entire in-house platform was sex and masturbation yet he's hardly criticized for anything.

And then to cap it all off there's the Daley/Hazel thing, which as a standalone incident is disgusting enough, but then after it all Channel 5 releases a statement that is basically like "Hazel had it coming with her seductive charm. Also we didn't show this but she said she gets off on men choking her so #bitchdeservedit" and it was so appalling. Hazel certainly had balls/no shame whatsoever to go on BOTS this year after that one.
