Now this actually is sexism

    Bit of a daft comment alright.
    I doubt he asked the male soccer players if they could twerk!
    It's sexist in the sense that she's probably the only person he asked an objectifying comment to.

    Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
    Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
    Well they're are no friends of mine
    I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find
    And we can act like we come from out of this world
    Leave the real one far behind,
    And we can dance

    I was quite offended by David Attenborough calling climate change man made.

    Women drive cars too and fart just as much as men do.

    This fact has long perplexed me. If women do fart as much as men, why is it always men who are more strongly associated with farting? I've heard many female friends pass comment about the farting habits of their partners. Are women just more polite, embarrassed by it or what? Genuine question. I swear I think men need to fart more hence the stronger association. My ex couldn't handle my habit but then I was a bit naive about how rude it was when I was younger.

    I have opinions about this; opinions that the world must know!

    Yeah, so in other words there's good and bad everywhere. Glad you can see the point I was making.

    I don't think any of you little ladies should worry your pretty little heads over stuff like this. :)

    Surprised anyone excusing it.

    It's clearly sexist and also sleazy and should not be tolerated.

    Andy Murray tweeted about it, no holds barred as have many others and you could see from the audience that most of the men here were less than impressed.

    You could also see by Ava's impression that she was quite rightly fuming. Having given a strong empowering speech encouraging women to persevere in sport, she is then put back in her box and belittled for her sporting skills and asked does she twerk.

    You read crap like banning Christmas songs like it's cold outside, then you see this, which is blatant sexism and should be stamped out.

    Why don't women have their own awards ceremony. No one would be interested thereby it would have avoided all this controversy.
