Simple question to Stockhausen:
What if Andy Gray started decribing women as lazy,dirty and useless??
Stockhausen: Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
So is that your final answer?
Oh are you going to come up with a sensible answer?
Oh is that a little bit to taxing for you?
Firstly, I've not seen Loose women, I can imagine what they say and imagine I'd find them fairly irritating and repulsive, hence I don't watch.
Its about expectations, people won't complain if on a comedy show someone makes a racist joke, however, if a news anchor on BBC news made the same joke, they'd get fired.
Loose women is a non serious show about women venting(probably rubbish), Sky Sports isn't. Soccer AM made sexist jokes about women, its expected. A football show thats not a light hearted chatshow, with sketches no less in soccer am's case, is not the same.
The women that went on with Lovejoy and had a bit of banter, often with sexist comments was with both parties consenting. Andy Gray and Keys picked on a SPECIFIC WOMAN, questioning her ability purely because she was a woman, and showed a general lack of respect and NOT a joke about their expectations of female officials, they also personally mentioned Karen Brady, and in the other clips, appearing to make a female co-worker uncomftable with their sexual banter.
Do loose women attack specific people without cause? If the lineswoman involved, at the end of a poor game had made many mistakes and potentially seemed nervous or worried and too scared to make a big call because she was worried about the crowd, it would have been a valid talking point, thats not what happened.
As for on air/off air, I have NO issue at all with the fact that they said it near a camera, it shouldn't leak, and I don't care that they said it, I don't care its on camera. The thing is women do work at Sky, and the situation is them having to put up with essentially a hostile and disrespectful workplace.
I don't know if they continually do this around the work place, it would seem judging by the leaked video's, the sacking, the resigning that many women at Sky WERE fed up of the way they behaved, in which case firing them was right.
Do men get upset at Loose women, do men WATCH loose women? Do men in the workplace not like the way the women talk off camera, do they feel the women are simply acting it up for the camera's but off air are absolutely lovely people and the men have no issue, or are they utter ***** off air and make lewd comments about the men in the workplace?
