Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Rosie/Helen is using far too much make up. She would look pretty if she didn't.

Rosie is an absolute joke. Yes, bring her back and wouldn't it be refreshing and a surprise to us all if she was sophisticated , mature and sensible. All grown up. It happens . Not like she still is but worse - worse than ever .

Has she had work done to her face, her lips look very fuller and big

he is the novice just losing his virginity and she has a boyfriend and took charge you are right yes the female gets berated but that is because i don't like her anymore too

Lame lame arguments...

Disliking someone doesn't mean you have to demean them. I also dislike Sinead at the moment and also disapprove of cheating but that doesn't mean that I'm going to using derogatory language to demean the woman.

So poor Daniel is a virgin and being mocked for it - boo hoo!!! He went into that factory determined to have sex with Sinead (although admittedly he didn't expect her to be so keen) and had already helped her to persuade herself not to give Chesney another go because he wanted to have sex with her himself. He was no innocent in what happened in the factory but he gets a pass because he's male (there was no such leniency for Maria when she slept with a cheating Aidan).

I'm so sick to the back teeth of slut shaming and misogyny. It's everywhere and getting worse and I don't want to read it here too. Using derogatory language to describe a cheating female soap character may seem harmless, but it's on the same spectrum as pussy grabbing presidents; victim blaming of rape victims (especially if they dared to have a previous sex life, were wearing a short skirt or had had a few drinks); and the growing problem of primary school girls getting slut shamed and sexually harassed in schools. It all comes from the same place and is damaging to all girls and women (yes, even comments on a soap forum about fictional characters can help make females reading internalise feelings of shame for daring to have a sex life and behave imperfectly in society's eyes).

I'm not going to comment on this anymore but I'm going to put anyone in the habit of slut shaming on ignore so that they don't spoil my pleasure in what is usually one of the more pleasant spaces on the internet.

daniel is a naughty boy too giving taken sinead a rogering in the stock room of the factory, what male word for slut if there is even one

[parkerman]

Absolutely spot on, Dazzle. The double standards that are applied hark back to a time when it was ok for a man to "sow his wild oats", but shameful for a woman, who had to remain faithful no matter what and, of course, a virgin until her wedding night. It is incredible that this attitude still survives. It should, of course, never have been the case but certainly should have been put to sleep once and for all in the sexual revolution of the 60s, but 50 years on, here we are.....

[LouiseP]

Misogyny - dislike of women?
