But the bitchy and annoying characteristics of housemates are more noticable depending on a person's gender, not just in the BB context where this is at it's worst but in wider culture as well. Someone like James Bond for example is a character glorified for sleeping with hundreds of women yet had it of been a female being this promiscuous the interpretation of the character would be much different. Look even at the way that the derogatory and sexist comments Ash made earlier in the series have been swept under the radar because of his looks.
