  1. Factually incorrect. He was on lbc saying that his female co presenter had no issue with it. Why is it ok for comedians to come out with this sort of stuff without getting cancelled? Why don't women ever get sacked for saying things like grow a pair?

  2. Me being a woman I don’t get that – what is wrong which saying that they are finishing up / doing their make up?? What is sexist about that??

  3. LMAO. God forbid a woman makes a harmless joke about men. Oh wait, that would be totally fine. Cancel culture is a Frankenstein. It seemed like the right thing to do at the start. Now it is turning everyone in the west into a giant baby.

  4. For the love of God, no one can take a joke anymore. This is what happens when you have a generation of people that cast participation medals they all feel entitled to everything. God forbid their feelings, their special feelings…. There “ truth.” God forbid its questioned.

  5. This is why people are too scared to prevent Intersex athletes beating up females in boxing. Too scared to say anything in case they get fired for ‘sexist remarks’.

  6. If you dont think this is sexist, imagine if something similiar was said about men? "Oh, you know how men are, they're just being slow because they're thinking about having sex" "oh, you know how men are, just touching up, thinking about drinking a beer" like…. i get that it doesnt seem like the remark he made was much, but the implication that champion athletes are being slow because "lol theyre just women all they care about is their make-up" is a pretty low blow in and of itself

  7. “Hanging around doing Make-up” is a mortal sin in commentary while blaspheming Last Supper is Okay… common what happens to us… 😭😱😥😢🤔

  8. Instead, they should be focusing on providing athletes a nutritious meals. Those environmental friendly bs yet the whole city is consuming crazy amount of red meat
