She can't watch TV in the same room as me if I'm not watching it too. If she's watching something and I get home from work she'll turn it off. Even if I INSIST that she keeps watching it, she won't. If she suggests watching something that i don't fancy, I might say something like "You watch it, I'll go on the laptop for a bit" or "You watch that I'll go int he bedroom and watch the footy" etc etc She won't do it. She'll go into the bedroom and watch something on her own, but I don't think I have EVER been in the house with her watching something on the main TV in the lounge and me doing something else. I don't know why this annoys me I've actually ended up getting angry at her recently because she wouldn't keep watching what she was watching. And now that I've finally noticed it I can't stop noticing it. Same with mine except she won't go to sleep without me. I was up til 1 this morning watching the evening NFL games. She was obviously knackered, had worked yesterday too and was ready to sleep by 10. Forced herself to stay up for another three hours and complained this morning that she was tired. So **** stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she conducted herself very well getting it across though. Applying the rules isn't sexism and male players get penalised all the time for these sorts of violations.

Her son takes the vast majority of her instagram shots where she is in bikini or next to naked. Proper creepy that relationship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: And in a similar way, the people who sold us our house were a TV producer and his missus, who was apparently an actress. He said "You probably know (whatever her name was) from Emmerdale".

(she told me this as it came up in our conversation) These people tend to be far more interesting than the on screen talent in my experience.

I don't think she conducted herself very well getting it across though. I agree - she does have a point but she behaved appallingly. She really ought to consider just quite the kind of role model that she promoted to those who look up to her as an icon of her sport and women's sport in general.

They're not applied the same way to women as they are to men though (or vice versa). It's the every definition of sexism, which was her point. The media treat them entirely different too.

It was quite embarrassing seeing that, and a shame for her opponent because it took the shine off her victory. Easy to say when you're not in the heat of the moment, losing a major final. But it was the kind of thing she should probably have brought up after the game rather than get so worked up on the court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's inherently sexist. For a cartoon, in which exaggeration is often a key part, I think that's a tad unfair. She is Slim and blonde haired (sort of) wearing black kit. The cartoon is pretty dumb, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
