As we know, men have affairs because of sex and underwear... its the woman's fault

I'm actually disappointed in Davinia. What a twat.

hollyisalovelyname · 31/05/2015 17:28

I didn't know Davina's husband was married before

I'm actually disappointed in Davinia. What a twat.

Why? She holds her own views. It's allowed. I don't agree with them but they don't disappoint me.

limitedperiodonly · 31/05/2015 17:38

Why are you expecting Nicki Minaj or Davina McCall to be role models?

That's extremely patronising.

I sorted things out for myself. Isn't that what most intelligent young women do?

AnyFucker · 31/05/2015 17:40

I detest Minaj's music and video imagery, but I agree with that article

NoArmaniNoPunani · 31/05/2015 17:44

I'm not limited, I just found it interesting that Nicki Minaj was slated and called selfish for expecting sex to me mutually enjoyable.

limitedperiodonly · 31/05/2015 17:44

Is it so hard to work out that if you're just a sperm receptacle then sex is more trouble than it's worth?

limitedperiodonly · 31/05/2015 17:47

I agree, NoArmani.

I don't think it's helpful to set her up against McCall.

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 31/05/2015 17:48

I'm really hoping she actually said something like "it's hard with work and family to look and feel good, but one easy thing for me is to always wear matching undies". And "it's important to try to keep intimacy in a long term relationship, and regular sex is one way to do that"

NorbertDentressangle · 31/05/2015 17:53

I can't help but wonder if celebrities come out with twattish comments and beliefs just to keep people talking about them, to keep them in the press and to try and drum up some interest in them.

I still remember the venom I felt against Amanda Holden when she was spouting crap about how women shouldn't "let themselves go during pregnancy" ....only her idea of "letting themselves go" was ditching the high heels for flats and being seen without a full face of slap or in comfortable clothes once in a while Hmm

When you're feeling sick 24 hours a day and on crutches because you're suffering from SPD that's not what you want to hear.

limitedperiodonly · 31/05/2015 17:56

I was struck by this in the blog:

I don't personally find Nicki Minaj's prioritisation of her own pleasure shocking, but then I'm a woman in my 20s with a consciously progressive attitude towards this kind of stuff.

Well whoop-de-do for you, love.

I'm a woman in my 50s and worked that out about 30 years ago. I imagine women older than me had the same idea.

Patronising cunt.

AnyFucker · 31/05/2015 18:04

That is you LPO ( and me)

but I don't think we can deny that, in general, our society is set up to favour men's sexuality and to reduce women to beings purely designed to enable it

limitedperiodonly · 31/05/2015 18:24

That is a lot of us AnyFucker

I found that blogger tiresome.

She didn't invent sex.

sebsmummy1 · 31/05/2015 18:29

I read the NM article and all I thought was 'ewwww too much information love'. I might approach the Daily Mail and see if theyre interested in my masturbation habits.

FindoGask · 31/05/2015 18:30

I think quite a few people here are getting a bit too personally invested in what some woman they've never met thinks about sex, marriage and matching underwear.

AnyFucker · 31/05/2015 18:32

sebsmummy, there's a thread going currently where some people especially Golfer man would be very interested in your maturation habits Grin

AnyFucker · 31/05/2015 18:36

maturation ?

Greythorne · 31/05/2015 18:44

I met Davina McCall a few times for work projects. She is deeply, deeply patronising. Always perky verging on hysterical. Demanding. Rude.

I don't think she is the sharpest tool in the box. So she probably thinks she is being craaaazzzzyyy and saying what nobody else dares say abou the sexual availability and the undies. I doubt she has the mental capacity to consider what she is saying about her husband (that he is a shallow womaniser who would abandon wife and family if he does not get his end away 5 times a week).

Bakeoffcake · 31/05/2015 18:48

Gosh what stupid things to say.

It all screams "my life is perfect everybody, I have no marriage problems at all, honestly"

And the "keep him satisfied.....even if you're utterly exhausted" makes me feel a bit nauseous. What person wants to actually have sex with someone if they know they're "utterly exhausted"? Yuk.

Bakeoffcake · 31/05/2015 18:51

I have a friend who's worked with her too Grey. Her description was very similar to yours. She said she knows she'll get a headache as D is so fucking loud ALL the time.

YouTheCat · 31/05/2015 18:55

Downwiththissortofthing, thank you for the flowers. Grin

I do indeed hope I am funnier than Gabby Yorath.

I was an avid reader at a young age but I can still understand that not everyone finds reading easy or fun.

DosDuchas · 31/05/2015 18:56

yorath sounds like its written backwards, doesn't it?
Maybe she is Gaby Htaroy

She is obviously besotted with the husband but these comments (and other 'surrendered wife' type stuff she has said) don't do him or her any favours.

The bit about wanting 'to stay as much as I can like the girl that Matthew married' is very sad.

SilverBirch2015 · 31/05/2015 19:20

Sounds like their marriage is not that secure:

Which may explain her rather sad views on how to keep him.
