Loose Women - the sexist debate....

[jd_1984]

Ok, I am going to tread carefully here.....!
Is there an argument that suggests the Loose Women panel are far more sexist towards men on their show (which is aired live, not secretly recorded and leaked to youtube), than a certain former Sky Sports presenter? Now, they are usually talking about husbands, boyfriends etc, and it is done in a humorous way but to be blunt, they often speak about men in a sometimes patronising way. I am not saying sack the Looses Women, but it is an interesting comparison.
(Waits for backside kicking from female ABers!!)

why not...?


Answerbank is made up of loose women

I think that both sexes accept a number of 'truisms' about their own and the opposite sex. Whilst these can usually be chucked about with humour and knowing comment I do think that there can be lines crossed on Loose Women...........and some of the excuses certainly wouldn't wash if they were made by men in defence of their treatment of women.

and i think a very drunken affair esp if crafty and salla are about :-p

Mick - the daily mail of course!

[Bbbananas]

Oh yes - our mugs would contain gin.

[mccfluff]

can i have wine in mine, if i had a mug of gin i'd be asleep in the corner!

[Bbbananas]

Go on then.. speaking as Chairwoman, I give you permission x

[Mick-Talbot]

Denis welsh treats Tim Healy like a piece of crap. She is always pulling him down.
Why he would to stay with someone like that , i have no idea.

[Bbbananas]

......and anyway Mick, I'm not that loose. I work very hard at remaining tight ;-)

[jd_1984]

And.... to go a step further, I watched them letch over Enrique the other day, touching him and flirting quite provocatively, imagine if 4 blokes with a female guest - outrage!!

[mccfluff]

eugh enrique, now if it was paul wlaker, i'd be behaving most shamefully, but.... i take your pioint JD and you're quite right

[Old_Geezer]

Terrible, I'm so glad it wasn't me they were letching over, touching me and flirting quite provocatively.

Excuse me I have to go have a cold shower now.

To be fair, Gray wasn't sacked for his comments about the lineswoman, he was sacked for asking a woman to tuck his mic into his trousers in a very suggestive way, and it wasn't the first time, he'd said something similar to another woman there too.
I feel sorry for Sian (the lineswoman) she's not said a thing about the incident, but she still got pulled from a league match last night in case of any backlash - so Sky have probably ruined this womans career now.

[jd_1984]

I dont doubt that this was the straw that broke the camels back, he may well have had similar warnings on his record prior to this.

Im saying sack the Loose Women errr women, its an awful, dreadful programme full of middleaged, usually disgruntled ladies (hah!) who spend an entire hour cackling like witches in a coven.
