@Flomoon I enjoyed your review of Love Island 2021 and maybe I have picked a bad year to join the party. - Not sure why, but I couldn't quote you.
I enjoyed reading it until the last line: "I'm not sure what you consider a 'real mumsnetter' though, maybe enlighten us?"
What a nightmare question that is! its right up there with "...does my bum look big in this?" but I will give it a go:
There was another discussion on here I followed last week, it was about the men's and women's gymnastics in the Olympics and how the women dress differently from the men. In addition, particularly in the floor competition they have to do overtly 'flirty' moves, even as teenagers. Most responses were what I expected: support for the German team who wore unitards and condemnation of the inequality and the over-sexualisation of women's gymnastics.
I suppose I expected something similar in the Love Island chat: the men wear shorts, I've not seen any Danial Craig speedos yet, whereas the women, well I have a face-mask with more material than what's covering their bums!
I applaud @Hopeisallineed for saying this earlier (but it surprised me): "....hot young buff men wandering round in their pants also helps. (#notshallow😂). But that’s just why I watch it."
It is good to read this honesty - sometimes these days people are too apprehensive to say what they really think for fear of offending one group or another.
Anyway, the fact is I've still got it on! Episode Ten now - partly I just love David Tennant's voice.
