Interesting...you think Channel 5 is sexist against Hazel (female!) in this case?

Presumably, you would be quoting them as racist against Daley (black!) had they taken the opposite angle.

That's very neat. If they're not sexist, they're racist and vice versa!

Of course, all these arguments do is dilute the power of genuine victims of such behaviour.

I haven't mentioned anything about black males being discriminated against (have there been any examples, really) so no, I would not have taken the opposite angle. It was very clear that Daley was out of order. HOWEVER,

Channel 5 also suggested that it was a matter of editorial integrity to show the scenes - as it may have impacted viewers' voting decisions - and alleged that Hazel did not appear too distressed by the situation, partly because she did not confide in fellow housemate Dan.

Channel 5 added that Big Brother changed its usual format to show both the confrontation and Daley's eviction in one episode, so that no viewers were left wondering what had happened, but controversially also suggested that Hazel had some responsibility for the incident.

Claiming that Hazel was not a "naive debutante", the broadcaster claimed that she was a "dominant and aggressive force" during the duo's previous playfighting and that she was "fully aware of her feminine charms and was unashamed about using them to get her way".

"The simple inalienable fact is that, but for Hazel's aggressive sexual conduct, the confrontation which results in Daley's eviction would not have occurred - or at least would not have occurred in the way it did," Channel 5 added.

Sorry, but this is a ****ing disgusting and inexcusable stance to take.

As I seem to remember it Hazel tried to pull his pants down then slapped him on the ass .he retaliated by getting right up in her face and threatening to headbutt her . BB was right to kick him out however Hazel should have almost certainly have been kicked out as well for her part in it . I fail to seen the part of it where daly nearly raped Hazel that you claimed a few posts back your desperately fishing for nonsense to support your stance which is based on pure emotions and not facts.

That's the same scene I saw too.

It doesn't fit Macie's agenda though so it didn't happen that way.
