Er, Claire is currently and very obviously pregnant ... Lets not lower our posts to this sort of degrading sexist rubbish please. Pete
Don't you think that crudely dismissing a woman's opinion on the ground of her femininity (periods or pregnancy) is rather insulting and sexist? I think it is.
am i the only one that finds it weird the villeneuve is hanging around the williams motorhome so much that they felt the need to "ban" him im just picturing jacques kinda loitering out front smoking cigs peering in the windows LOL
He is a commentator for Sky Italy; like all the journalists and commentators, they come and go to all the team motor homes. Even though JV is Williams' most recent WDC and they're celebrating their 40 years in F1, where you'd expect they'd be welcoming the attention with their former WDCs, Claire was very pissed off by his frequent criticisms of Stroll, so JV got banned.
Still shaking my head. Wrong on so many sides: Villeneuve should know better, the Strolls are ridiculous and Claire a sycophant
No, it's being rude and sexist. I cannot suffer both. I reported the post. Now it's up to the moderator.
I'm not taking sides on this but I'm happy not to be a F1 mod anymore. Only Whiting's job is more difficult
Oh puuullleeezzze..... T'was a joke, get it? Methinks it would be better for some to stop misperceiving rather than admonishing others. 'Don't blame ya.....
It's in a very poor taste and reflects badly on you! A self-depreciating joke can be welcome, but a joke at the expense of someone else denotes a dark mentality, IMO.
And I asked my wife, daughter, and her friend to read the posts and all three laughed. Isn't variety great? The spice of life. edit: Isn't it great we can each have an opinion and still get along?
Didn´t realise this, but it's irrelevant, the fact that she's pregnant doesn't make her any more or less respectable from my point of view, but i resent the fact that some people are so "square" that they can't see the diference between a joke and being "sexist". This line of thinking is so obtuse as if someone called me a racist because i said hamilton is black!! Please grow up a bit and think twice before making ridiculous acusations without any reason for it. There are at least to women in this section, Isobel and jana, and i have the utmost respect for both of them, and if i thought for a second any of them would be offended by my post i would have never done it, but to me it's no more than a joke, like so many others that i do with other menbers, and others do to me.
..Then, if you consider everything i wrote about Alonso or Elton...well, i guess i'm pitch black...and beyond salvation!!
You made a sexist joke at the expense of womenfolk, no less. It may be acceptable where you are, but here, these stupid comments are increasingly frowned upon. It's a matter of culture probably, but political correctness has thankfully ruled back these blatant discriminations in many parts of the civilised world.
