When did looking some p#$%&y become "sexism"?

 
Samwells 2016-05-26 11:38:14 

...The only thing I will criticize him for is using those corny ass lines


Or is it sexism because he doing it during an interview?

If he said those same lines to her it wouldnt be sexism? Or would it?

noun
prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.
"sexism in language is an offensive reminder of the way the culture sees women"

To answer: as soon as general society was forced to integrate.

To be fair, he objectified his own bat, much to the delight of his adoring fan base..

That's pretty much what his fans are saying...

And was a bit surprised to see Sammy say that during an interview when asked abt Chris' statement.

In reply to Samwells

you are interviewing for a job and a hot female interviews you, Of course you are attracted and you coming home and talking about her with your buddies in private is fine.

Imagine if you say in the interview, Don't blush baby.. Will you get the job?

 
Samwells 2016-05-26 12:46:15 

In reply to matchstick

I am a fan of his and I am not saying he can say what he wants...

I am just saying based on the definition of sexism as highlighted in my first post, how is what he is reported to have done being defined as sexism.

 
Samwells 2016-05-26 12:46:54 

In reply to gvenkat

My point is...YES its wrong but how the fack has that come to be defined as "sexism".?

 
gvenkat 2016-05-26 12:47:16 

In reply to Samwells

There is a time and place for everything. She was doing her job and CG was being a jackass.

If he wanted to flirt he should have hit on her in a bar or a hotel or even in the road not when she was doing her job

 
gvenkat 2016-05-26 12:47:46 

In reply to Samwells

That definition is very loose boss.

It is unprofessional and being motivated by sex/gender. Can't see it being a far stretch to summarize that in one word as sexism.

A few other words can probably be used also.

 
natty_forever 2016-05-26 13:54:06

Are you crazy? Gayle said tens of thousands of women are hunting him down. He also said that he's very good looking and has a big big bat big grin big grin big grin

You come back and you head still hard like a coconut. Dude we in the Caribbean take this workplace etiquette too lightly. When people doing their work, respect them and quit trying to make them feel uncomfortable. Maybe it is not sexism but it sure is harassment.

 
bimbo 2016-05-26 21:57:03 

Is there a link to the full transript of that interview. Why would he make those remarks given the full conversation is what interests me.

It seems like he can do no wrong for some of his home boys.Let some guy treat their daughter or Sister in like manner while they are in a working environment, they will be threatened by every member of the clat family.

Why did he tell Mel not to blush?

 
Halliwell 2016-05-27 03:06:28 

In reply to Devin

Because she was blushing
Because she (and the commentators btw)took KIND FLATTERY from his words

...until the seniors decided to change the tune and string up the negro

And the "baby" part?

 
Larr Pullo 2016-05-27 06:12:54 

In reply to Halliwell

If Gayle is getting as much pussy as he claims, why does he feel it necessary to run down EVERY pussy that crosses his path, even if that Pussy is just doing her job at the time? Gayle is displaying the traits of disaccustomcy; in that he is only accustomed to interacting with women a certain way, and does not realise that the type of interaction that he has whole heartedly adopted when it comes to women, is NOT appropriate in EVERY interaction.

I guess when he and his supporters feel it in the pocket (since they celebrate his relative wealth vicariously) they will all learn.

 
Larr Pullo 2016-05-27 06:14:07 

BTW, with all the great press that he's getting his Child's mother must feel like a prize....

 
CW 2016-05-27 06:19:17 

In reply to Larr Pullo

How will his supporters feel it in the pocket? Just asking....
Will they charge more to see him? Or will he be banned?
If he is banned then how will his supporters feel it in the pocket?

She is still doing cartwheels having the honor of being the mother of a baby sired by the WORLD boss.

In reply to voiceofreason... so I being a customer come into her work place and I hit on her. Is she need to learn etiquette and "tek weh harself".

Why was that interview even continued at that point, guess she really wasn't offended but felt it would make a good story.

She was trying to be as professional as possible is one option.
Another one is she was looking for her minute of fame.

I dunno which is true.

DING! She went looking for that story! She got precisely what she went out to get.

The answer to that is not for Gayle to sing "Onward Christian Soldiers."

Samwells has gone Clintonian.

Chris Gayle's obnoxious behaviour around women "is" sexist, depending on what the meaning of "is" is.

 
CW 2016-05-28 01:36:21 

In reply to ProWI

lol lol I thought the meaning of "is" helps to define a factual statement like ...it is a duck!

Whereas if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it could be an impersonator pretending to be a duck....... lol lol
Even if it looks like a duck lol

It make some people sing though.....won't say the song title cos they know what they are singing

Gayle ought to call for another interview a la Donald Trump with Megan Kelly, no?

On the contrary, as a journalist she'll write her story and show exactly the type of person Gayle is. No skin off her nose, Gayle is the one who is getting hit in the pocket.
