Love Island is demeaning to women and men both so it doesn't save it on the grounds of equality. Right on progressive causes are hypocritical more often than not though so don't expect consistency, Simon.

Just like the evening standard article recently congratulating the establishment of several new women only members clubs. On Rev's justification that means all male members clubs are now fine, except of course, the people that got wound up about male only clubs of course don't think that. You then have to revert to the victimhood justification of people being allowed to do things that others aren't because they were previously the victims. That stinks more than anything else.

For the record, I'm not anti-love island - I'm anti people getting hot under the collar and prohibitionist about any of this stuff.

For a clever person, you have an amazing knack of misunderstanding the point. On what planet does “my” justification support men only clubs, you maniac?

Right, I’ll try and explain this for the hard of thinking:

- grid girls = middle aged white men leering at pretty, scantily clad girls

Love Island - a show aimed at young women that shows scantily clad people of the target audiences age hooking up

If you’re unable to see the difference between the 2, I simply can’t help you.

Cool story bro, but I literally cannot see the slightest whiff of a connection between that and the thread, even by the standards of this forum!
