The sexist/disrespectful to women housemates will always appeal to the 'women should respect themselves otherwise no-one else can respect them' crowd unfortunately, if a women reads from a different hymn sheet other than 'how to be a perfect woman in the eyes of a still sexist country' then they will be hated and anyone who goes against them, will be loved and it's sad.

But in this day and age 'lads' and women who like 'lads' will always support 'lads' even if the term 'lad' is just being used as a cover up or an excuse to be a complete wanker, which more often than not, it is.

Some people need to know the meaning of 'sexism' tbh

The things he's said are insults not an attack on their gender as another woman could say the same thing to them.

I understand what you're saying but imo the sexual insults he uses are "gender motivated" if you like, so imo that makes it sexist. He feels he can objectify them and belittle them sexually because they're women, it's not something he does with men too. Yes he may have insulted the men (although not even close to how much he does with the women) but never in a sexually demeaning way, by doing this and treating women in a sexually inferior way, then he is kind of saying men are better than women....imo

Whats wrong with being derogatory towards women? most of them deserve it.






































im joking

[Margarine.]

I like Marc because he's entertaining

[Rorkimaru]

Everyone calling Mark a sexist for his comments should take note of what they say because if in one thread you're calling him a sexist for saying cum bucket or baggy fanny and the next you're calling him Mark micropeen or the like then you're every bit as much of a sexist. Glass houses, stones etc.

Honestly I've been called worse by close mates and given back worse than I got. By the time he said the stuff to Sam they'd been living together for days. You have to remember in a situation like big brother the speed of friendships developing is accelerated so they were already quite close even if we'd only seen a few hours of them.

People straight up call their friends sluts and *****s all the time. Even Valley Girls do it. They don't mean it, it's just a joke. And the STI comment was gender neutral. If a guy had been called to the diary room and he'd said that would people be up in arms? Not so much. There is nothing intrinsically feminine about having an STI.

Scent, dog and pig are all gender neutral comments. They also seem to be his go tos when he is truly frustrated with a person. He has repeatedly said that he calls men pigs too.

My point was though that he has never made a comment like that to one of the men, it's always to the girls. And that was the first night he met Chloe, they were hardly buddies so it can't be classed as "banter between friends"

Oh and back to the point about the names he's called Sam, she has told him numerous times she's not comfortable with the sexual names he calls her yet he carries on doing it anyway, that's disrespectful. Girlfriends who call eachother "slut" or whatever I'm sure know eachothers form and know there friends are in on the banter. generally speaking men friends don't go round calling their girlfriends sluts affectionately...in my experience anyway

I didnt watch Jims CBB either so can't comment on that

I wouldn't say Marc was sexist. But he does go too far at times. Disliking A female housemate does not make one sexist.

Jim was sexist alright, going on about his wife having to iron his shirts and s**t like that. I think Marc is sexist in a different way in that he speaks to women in more of a derogatory way then he would men so therefore he treats women worse than men

Hmm. I don't see that as sexist, possibly because I have so many mates who talk a bit like marc and I know for a fact they don't think they are better than women or anything like that, they just have filthy ****ing mouths Infact thinking about it, this may also be why I don't find most of the things he says offensive. Living and drinking in Newcastle kinda toughens you up to stuff like that :S

White male praised for saying derogatory things to females, and gets away with it because it is "banter".

Harmless black female, who also happens to be a lesbian says pussy a few times, and is vilified for it, evicted first, to deafening boos and verbal abuse.

Sexism, racism, and double standards doesn't even begin to cover it.

[JoshBB]

You can't have opinions on whether someone is sexist/racist, they just are.

I forgot telling a girl who you've only known for twenty minutes to get an STI test is charming.
The fact you mentioned only skin colour out of all the other possibilities is kind of revealing too.
