Why is everybody calling Laura out and shaming her? She is not the one in a relationship! It seems society still has a way to go with the double standards of women being sluts but men are players and that's okay ...

I blame Marco more than Laura. He's the one in a relationship, not her. I think the level of animosity directed at her is unfair. However, I don't think she's completely blameless in this.

From what i am seeing, Marco is getting just as much criticism as Laura. And Laura is at fault too. If you know someone is in a relationship, you don't go after them.

This conversation has been done like a hundred times before already in the last few days. Anyway...

Firstly, the postings of a couple of DS members doesn't really represent society in an accurate way, does it?

Secondly, I've seen plenty of folk saying exactly the same about Jackson/Marco. Yes, the men who've said some tasteless things so far. It's not just Laura (the woman) getting the hate.

Thirdly (Yes, I'm sticking with the numbers thing, dear god) DS mods have just closed a thread about so called 'slut shaming' because it was deemed wrong. Not really any need to discuss the situation again, is there?

Finally, in an eviction poll that's currently running here, FM members have voted for Marco 33 times and Laura just 5 at the time of posting. If people really thought Marco was cool and just Laura was in the wrong - that wouldn't happen. Marco is an A-grade idiot in my book.

Phew!

Both are as bad as each other. hes an absolute dick head thinking hes gods gift and treats woman as objects. and Laura has no morals, will do anything for tv time and publicity and could never be trusted with any girls man.

you don't go there when you know the man is in a relationship.

Granted I don't believe she deserves 'hate' but Marco is being criticised as much, if not more, so I don't see the problem.

And far from being unfair I think Laura would be delighted to know she is being discussed; that is EXACTLY why she's in there and doing what she's doing. That's what she does. Fame, infamy, whatever...this is what she lives for so I wouldn't worry too much about her - she'll be grand.

Both as bad as each other. Marco slightly worse he has a fiance. Laura is 31 and Marco is 21 surely Laura would know better so both deserve each other.

Where were the double standards when Steph nearly won the show in January despite cheating on her fiancee all the way through it? And where are the threads mounting a whiteknight defence of Marco like the ones defending Laura, like this one for example?

Probably because nothing needs to be said about Marco, it's obvious. is there really a need to call him out. Anyone watching him for 5min can see what a disaster he is. With Laura there's higher expectations. If anything it's giving her credit in seeing more in Laura.

So... basically what's being called for is lowered expectations regarding Laura. To see her as the mess and disaster Marco is and not care.

Achieved. My expectations regarding Laura have been lowered and i don't care what she does anymore. I now view her as i do Marco.

I haven't posted about their 'relationship' once, I don't think. Because they're THAT effing nauseating and boring.

They're both pretty ghastly, though Marco is worse as he's also a bit of a bully. I just wish we could find out more about some of the others in the house as they're both rather boring.

If Laura knows nothing about Marco's relationship on the outside, that's okay. Marco's a slimy and untrustworthy git if he's doing all this while in a relationship with someone.

Edit: Okay, so she does know that he has a fiance then. They're both as bad as each other then.
