With all due respect, I prefer to think of the women as strong/confident/opinionated (I'm male btw so I don't think I can be accused of being biased).
I think the way the women are treated on the show/by the public IS discrimination though; I remember Jade Goody's fights with Shilpa Shetty-or was it sheppy? I can't remember-BB had a press conference about it and at one point they said "Big Brother reflects society", I think that's true in two ways, 1st the house is a microcosm of society,2nd I think society is reflected in the way h.ms are received by the public-whether they're booed or cheered going in or coming out of the house as well as how long they last in there and let's be honest, the women usually do badly-5 winners out of 14, not that great.
When Tamara went in the house, she was booed, while she was i the house she was hated, when she came out the house, she was booed and for about a week after, she got tons of abuse online-sarcasm/spite here, insults in the facebook Q and A she did (even after it'd ended an hour before) and then anytime her name was mentioned on the official C5 BB page. I read a lot of comments about not liking her because of hes "showmance" with Winston and at the end of week 1 she was out.Week 2 Winston is the favourite to win the show. Double Standard because he was just as much a part of the "showmance" as Tamara was but she had to take responsibility for his actions so that the public didn't need to hold him responsible himself (they let him off the hook).
On BBBOTS last night, Emma said people don't like strong women.No, they prefer weak ones....I wonder why-perhaps because they're "easier to handle" for men. I think women pick up on that and are embarrassed by women like Tamara because she's got a brain and a good job oh and shock!! horror!! isn't ugly-the biggest sin of all. Deep down I think they know what men want is an easy life which is exactly what one of the Psychologists on Bit on the Psych said a few weeks ago when she tried to explain why the women were arguing and the men were relatively quiet.
To answer the question in yes or no terms though I think no-it's not discrimination -unless- BB don't give the guys the same chance as the women in a week or two's time. They'll have to be quick about it though because soon there won't be any women left to do it to; they'll all have been voted out and we'll get one of the very unimpressive blokes walking away with Ł100,000 for not doing/saying/being very much instead of a female winner who had inner strength,brains and ability and may even have been a positive role model for young girls watching the show.
Ash,
Ash and Steven seem as safe as houses unfortunately.
