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

Perhaps we were watching a different show Tippy... I was only watching with half an eye whilst MNing...
I thought they were saying it wasn't right that women who dress in a flirty way [low cut tops and short skirts] got leered at but that unfortunately it can be the reality of the world we live in. Which is true isn't it? I had a former colleague who is gorgeous and also does glamour modelling on the side. She does tend to dress in very low cut tops and short skirts with long blonde hair extensions, has had breast augmentation, high heels, the works. She looks amazing and beautiful. But the reality is she does get leered at dressed like this. I was walking with her once down a high street and she was literally causing traffic to come to a halt and men in vans were yelling lewd things at her. I was , had never seen anything like it. Now not saying it was at all acceptable that she was treated like this but to be honest she did sort of dress in a way that encouraged comment from a certain type of man and she was herself was not particularly bothered by it. Does not of course correlate that she is asking to be raped though for dressing like this, that is outrageous [type]

Sorry, was meant to be a at end of that sentence

Wonder when they'll get around to debating 'If you leer at women in the street and you get a kick in the bollocks, can you really complain? aren't you just really asking for it?'

Hay i get annoyed when i am not leered at! lol Especially if i have made the effort

haaaaaaaa

And Yes i often only splash myself in marinade ( that was really funny sixpercenttruejedi really made me giggle)

Wright stuff is just full of fillers! But i like it

saw you posting about your NM threads. You're far better off here, good choice.

I have only seen the Wright Stuff once and turned off in disgust after he ridiculed a male caller who was talking about his wife struggling with breastfeeding and having seen a breastfeeding consultant. He kept talking over the caller, saying things like "you only have to know your left from your right, how hard can it be?" while his female guests tittered and sniggered and the poor caller struggled to finish his sentence.
He was like a silly teenage boy.

I think MW is very provocative with some of the things he says, he seems to enjoy playing devil's advocate. But it seems to me that this is done with tongue in cheek and a twinkle in his eye. I don't take him that seriously and he often makes me laugh. I think he enjoys trying to provoke reaction and he is quite forthright. I don't know if I would want to get into a debate with him at a dinner party as i think he would wind me up and probably greatly enjoy doing so but I enjoy his style as a presenter. And The Wright Stuff is a show with only bite size segments so doesn't debate anything in great depth but I find it just enough as I am trying to shovel cereal into DS or am doing the housework or MNing. And I do think that MW actually has a grudging respect for MN, hence his constant references to us and our posts! As so he should!

Haha Amazing Bouncing Ferret. I was going to mention Lady Gaga but you got their first.

Mathew Wright is a knob.

It's very easy to play devil's advocate on topics that don't affect you, but it's not always worthwhile, funny or appropriate.

Yes sixpercent perhaps not in real life but he is a presenter and i would feel that it is sort of his job. He often says "Some people think..." and then an unpopular point of view and then will say "but others think..." and then invites comments from the panel and viewers at home. I guess the "controversial topics" reel viewers in.

I know that some people are anti breastfeeding, working mothers or whatever happens to be topic of debate and I am not offended when MW presents this POV and invites comments. I don't necessarily think he agrees with these POV but even if he did he is entitled to think what he likes. I don't feel as if a POV has been rammed down my throat rather that it has been [somewhat] debated on the show. I guess I am secure enough in my feminist, pro-working mother, pro-breastfeeding POV not to be that bothered by it

maybe I'm not - I fall for it everytime
