to be fuming with the topic on the Wright stuff...

...Before anyone's actually said anything.
"If you dress flirty, can you complain when you're treated 'dirty'"?
FFS

What a rubbish programme

Matthew Wright is a big cock

This is precisely the reason I don't watch this crap. Lazy television for the thickos.

Turn it off, OP. Save yourself a blood vessel.

turn it off. don't waste your 'leccy

Hey, I quite like The Wright Stuff!!! Don't think I'm particularly thick

But don't agree with all opinions voiced. This segment on next after ads. Will judge once I've seen it. Think they're trying to whip up controversy imo.

I know it is, but a lot of people watch it and I know they're going to put some vile argument forward as though it should be taken seriously.
Trying hard to turn it off, but I need to know just how bad he's going to be. (masochist emoticon)

I like the wright stuff too its a good mix of serious and light hearted stuff .I only found mumsnet thanks to him going on about it !

Eh? If you dress flirty? What the hell is dressing "flirty"?

He kindly elaborated; If you dress like "a piece of meat.." WTF?? How does meat dress? Are there women walking round splashed with marinade and nothing else?

watch jeremery kyle instead- gives me the feel good factor!

Didn't hear anything in the segment that got my [exposed] knickers in a twist... Bit of a non-issue really imo. Didn't sound to me as if MW or any of the panel actually thought that if you dress flirty you just be treated dirty - stupid tagline though.

Can't find a link to the TV ads that accompanied this but thought they were excellent.

yes YABU it's a valid question, to which the answer I hope what "YES you damn well can"
What do you mean it wasn't?

That's a great link MollysChambers, thanks.
It was a short segment, probably baiting the likes of MNers. By starting this thread I think I may have indirectly be 'feeding the troll'

It's a question that shouldn't even be fucking debated, IMO, unless you are incredibly stupid.

yes, you're right, was being flippant

I was watching it when ironing and shouting at t'telly. Not ONE person, out of a panel of 2 women and 2 men, suggested that it might be up to the rest of the world to take reponsibility for their own actions and not leer and shout at woment with low tops.

They all seemed to agree that if you get your norks out to any degree, you need to take what you get. Bootymum, we must have been watching a different show because while they agreed that dressing in revealing clothing was not an invitation to rape (good of them), it was a green light for others to leer and make comments.

I don't think it is a valid question StealthPolarBear, certainly not the way he posed it.

Hehe, just saw your next comment Stealth. Damn! thought I'd been given my first Yabu!

I quite like The Wright Stuff generally but I think this is an issue that shouldn't be treated in a light hearted "lets stir up a bit of controversy" way. Not when how a women is dressed is still put forward as part of the defences case in rape trials. It shouldn't make a damn bit of difference.

I agree, to keep bringing the argument up for debate gives it a false credibility.

And "piece of meat"! WTF???

isnt that the kind of programme closely followed by jeremey kyle? lord knob of them all?

What bullshit.

oh, god even give that programme brainspace!!!!

it really is just a gap filler on ch5. no-one is expected to believe the stuff they 'debate'.
