Was just playing with my boys when I noticed that the telly had images of scantily clad women holding brollies over fully dressed male F1 competitors in the rain. When I say scantily clad, think leather mini skirt, bare midriff and leather halter bra -not standard wet weather clobber (at least I've never seen the like in the waterproofs section of Millets).

I never normally watch F1, so I don't know if this is usual, but I was annoyed to suddenly see this on the screen. Obviously, I can (and did) switch off. I really didn't want my boys to see the dubious message which was basically:'stand there in your bra, hold the brolly and look sexy love, whilst the men actually do something'. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

well you and Scallops are the ones making assumptions about everybody and everything. All i have done is challenged that fact. I am sorry if you thought that to be vitriolic and insulting abuse, but i am kind of getting tired of this whole speaking for everyone mentality that you continue to exhibit. I do apologise for making assumptions about you being Guardian readers, that was out of order. But that's the thing, it's never nice when someone makes assumptions is it?

Not sure how I am supposed to produce stats for the definition of a woman's loss of virginity Confused

Or as Buffy says for just discussing a theory. You don't have to agree with me. But offering up another argument and some evidence as to why you think would be the normal way to go.

This conversation is getting very bizarre (and not a little personal).

"why you think that" it should say

And I didn't make assumptions about women not having orgasms Confused, I said that a woman losing her virginity is not based on her having an orgasm. Very very different.

I would like to know why you think what I said was offensive, out of interest? Feel free to ignore, though, I won't hang on with baited breath.
