Sexual Abuse and two-faced women

Here I was, nothing much to do, so went channel hopping on our (meagre) selection of channels on offer. Joy of joys, Big Brother 2007 seems to have started (my sarcasm cup runneth over forthwith). This excuse for a tv program seems to have reached a new low this year, what with 11 women and one ex-boyband bloke all sharing a few bog rolls. If I was him I would find the nearest rope and hang myself.

Either way, the swimming pool was the setting. The bloke in shorts seems to be getting some lady attention and he found the urge to make a move and mission out of there, post haste. Around 8 women chased him, trapped him in the corner and were trying to pull his shorts off. All the time he was saying "no, no , no...no no"

It was all rather funny. Everyone was giggling. The didnt succeed though and he escaped with his pants intact.

And then my cogs went into action. Imagine the scene, Big Brother 2007, alternate-reality edition. 11 blokes and one woman (ex-girlband)..she wants to go for an innocent swim but the blokes wont leave her alone, they chase her into a corner and try to pull her costume off. She keeps saying "no, no, no...no no" but they persist.

Yes, now you know where the travesty lies. In this day and age we all strive for equal opportunity, equal representation and gender neutrality. In actual fact, things are far from equal. The males still get all the stick, and women still get liberties and the benefit of the doubt. The first scene was "innocent enough" yet the alternate-reality edition wouldve seen police arrive and not one of the blokes involved would be able to work in the public eye again.

Apparently, it is not possible for a woman to sexually abuse a man, even in 2007. Even if there are 11 of you against one man. And even if you do it on live tv. While he keeps saying "no, no no...no no" in protest.

Yup... *sigh* can't live with them... can't live without them.

The social mechanics swings both ways, it's not just a gender issue..

If it was a highly flirtatious woman cock-teasing a bunch of frustrated guys until they chased the giggling woman around, and she clearly enjoyed the attention... no one would bat an eyelid either.

Intentions play a far greater role in percieved sexual abuse.

And he can hardly play the innocent virginal card after signing up to go into a house full of frustrated women... Most red blooded males across the UK are probably a tad envious of the stud.
