Big Brother shows misogynism is rife

anon | 28.01.2006 10:29 | Gender

Big Brother showed up the values of modern Britain as being tabloid led without any reference that women can be emancipated. George showed himself to be a misogynist along with Pete Burns, a transvestite claiming not to look like a woman by targeting all the woman in the house for comments that revealed their own inadequacies.

In the house, George and Pete targeted women for a variety of reasons - first of all they made Jodie a hate figure for being open about her sexuality, Chantelle for being young and susceptible (to whom), Rula for being motherly and annoying, Traci for being well adorned and stupid. Today, women face the same challenges of the 'mother whore' complex despite allegations that they have been emancipated. Like the corporate world, which uses PR companies for the purposes of damage limitation, the men below centred their attacks on the looks of women or their aspirations as being little more than being a centre spread. In the case of Rula Lenska, she was irritating for being a mother figure.

George Galloway, Pete Burns and Michael Barrymore felt threatened by being challenged so thought it better to attack women. All of them wanted to preach to the young as if they were standard bearers or self-appointed icons of the young. However, the comments were made without any reference to the fact that old people have been allowed to be young once and hopefully they were allowed to make their own mistakes in life.

George Galloway has clearly shown that he has no capability of self-analysis and his treatment of women just shows what is wrong with politics and having one elected leader who is not challenged.
