Reading the story on the Guardian website
And a number of people on there have mentioned daytime magazine show 'Loose Women' as a show that seems to thrive on sexism. (I've not seen Loose Women, but I understand the premise of the the show is a gaggle of women whinging about men).

Is that acceptable, but a private conversation isn't?

Nobody could defend Loose Women.

But should the presenters all be joining Andy Gray at JobClub?
Or are the comments made on that, acceptable as it is within the context of the show?

Personally, I think they should.
I think it's a vile programme mainly because of this. The fact that TV bosses at a different channel haven't sacked them but Grey has been sacked doesn't mean he shouldn't have been.

no, it's not acceptable.
but it is more likely to be accepted because institutional sexism on the part of women towards men is not and has never been a problem in society, but vice versa is.

And that's ok is it?
or is the reason it's acceptable because men understand it means fuck all and don't go mental about it.
