We should probably ban men's and women's changing rooms too, as they are clearly sexist. As a man I shouldn't be excluded from women's changing rooms.
Changing room and general discussion forums are completely two different things. You can't compare the fact that it is UNCOMFORTABLE for women change around men. You really think women likes men to see their privates and what not. This is from my experience talking to my girl friends.
As a woman, where in the world would I rather live?
A) Britain Afganistan
C) Africa
Hmmmm, tough one...
I can understand her dislike of page 3 etc and we do need more women in Government but overall, Britain is doing much better with women's rights than most countries.
Originally she was quoted as saying Britain was among the worst in the world regarding sexism. While their are still issues, the UK is in the top 20 for best countries regarding women's rights.
Regarding the media she admitted that she had not seen those websites and TV channels, but came to the conclusion based on what some people had told her.
I guess the (unsubstantiated) point she was trying to make is that there's a difference between legal equality and cultural sexism? We may be good for one, but bad for the other.
I'm not certain myself having never experienced another country deeply enough to understand feelings about gender, but this country does have a large amount of pathetic attitudes to gender hanging around in the media.

But we are hardly the worst at that either which is fairly obvious if you just walk around bring female in a couple of countries. It might also then occur to this idiot that there are more sexualised images of women in the UK because it is one if this'd countries where women can comfortably express their sexuality, talk about it and comment about it and comment about people talking too much about it.... in a variety of press and media platforms press. She's a total idiot.
Yes lads culture can be alienating but it isn't pervasive - it's on of many sub-cultures
