I think men and women can celebrate that without removing men from the launch and banning them from the crowd.It all just came over abit pretentious and boring tbh.

They can still have the theme.Just take the sexism out.Show that feminism is about equality and not further perpetuate the feminazi stereotype.

If they had the theme but had male HMs in on launch people would still be complaining and shouting feminazi

Exactly lol

The theme would only work with women HM’s starting the show off.

There shouldn't be either IMO ,this is an entertainment show, not a platform for idiots who feel they are hard done by

I thought it was OTT to have an all female crowd and all female BOTS. It was too contrived and pretentious. Talk about overkill.

Exactly.

That's not the approach of equality, it's just another version of gender supremacy but flipped on its head.

Like saying:

'We believe men have had all the power and that's wrong - so now we are going to show how wrong that is - by doing the exact same thing in reverse!'

It's pretty basic and silly. And of course pretty hypocritical.

If you think the idea of one gender holding all the cards is so bad - why do the exact same thing then?

Empty gestures really. It makes out like someting serious is happening but really it's just another BB 'theme'

Not when it's done in remembrance of something so specific and momentous as women being able to vote though

I think its a contrived and tacky theme that insults the efforts and achievements 100 years ago. It trivialises their achievements

Listen, I can go to a Polling station and vote as can my daughter, nothing trivialises that

It's not meant to further any cause, it's just celebrating something that happened in history.

Exactly. And I've not seen anything else highlighting this anniversary, so frankly what ever Big Brother does is a step up. And from what I can see it's mostly men saying it's trivial and worthless anyway.
