0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some strong language and adult humour

0:00:06 > 0:00:10- "Fat girls suck the best- BLEEP - and that's it."

0:00:11 > 0:00:13"I want to give you a sex injury."

0:00:13 > 0:00:17"I just want to get drunk and punch a slut in the face."

0:00:17 > 0:00:21Just some of the things said to women everyday online.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23"I'm not saying you are a slut,

0:00:23 > 0:00:27"I'm just saying your favourite shade of lipstick is 'penis'."

0:00:27 > 0:00:32Sexism against women is now causing rage and controversy almost daily.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35It is really like you can't get a book out of the library,

0:00:35 > 0:00:36you can't go to eat that day.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Calm down, dear, calm down.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42I'm Leah Green, and I want to know, who are Britain's biggest sexists?

0:00:42 > 0:00:45It's my rhythm, it's my tempo, it's my penis.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48From the playroom to the training ground,

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'll be looking at some notorious examples.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55And on the way, I'll be teaching Britain's men how to deal with us.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Please stand back, stand back, I am menstruating.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'll be bringing my candidates to our judges,

0:01:01 > 0:01:05three of Britain's funniest women and a token man.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Their decision will be final.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Sexists of Britain, your moment has come.

0:01:14 > 0:01:19If you don't think sexism is a problem, just talk to a few women.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I was on the Tube, and it was rush hour

0:01:22 > 0:01:25and somebody put their hand up my skirt.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28I got off at the next stop and they said to me,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31"Oh, really nice ass, you've got a really nice ass."

0:01:31 > 0:01:33This one guy who was like saying, "Oh, I'm a doctor,

0:01:33 > 0:01:36"like, don't worry, I'm a doctor, I'm not trying to seduce you.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39"I'm not trying to be weird or anything,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41"but you're really pretty and I'm really big."

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Big? Like how?

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Big like...big...penis? Yes.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50I was in a bar recently with some friends and my boyfriend

0:01:50 > 0:01:54and a guy that had clearly seen me outside was sort of chatting

0:01:54 > 0:01:56and he was like, "Oh, can I have a hug?"

0:01:56 > 0:01:59And I said no and he gave me a proper slap on the bum.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Like, full-on.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04And he didn't seem to think it was...wrong in any way.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08For us women, it seems having a stranger slap your arse or tell

0:02:08 > 0:02:11you the size of his penis is a surprisingly common experience.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Like, there's never been a romantic comedy with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan

0:02:17 > 0:02:23where the trailer is like, "She was a woman walking to work, he was just

0:02:23 > 0:02:29"a man...shouting sexual obscenities and their love will last for ever."

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Why do men do it?

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I don't know and I don't understand.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Someone said to me, "She's got a tight fanny!"

0:02:39 > 0:02:42as I was walking home from the uni library.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45That wasn't strange, because I do have a tight vagina.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50But who are Britain's biggest sexists?

0:02:50 > 0:02:54I've decided to start my journey by looking at Britain's lad culture.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57The first contenders are the guys who see the high street not as a place

0:02:57 > 0:02:59to shop, but as a place to hunt.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Hello, my name is Steve Jabba, I'm 39 years old

0:03:03 > 0:03:05- and I- BLEEP- hot young women.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Hey, what's up, guys? It's Richard for Street Attraction here.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10In this video, you're going to see me

0:03:10 > 0:03:12making out with two girls who are friends, very quickly.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16The language of love is something that every man has to learn to speak.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18If he doesn't, he will end up

0:03:18 > 0:03:21playing with his bellboy for the rest of his life.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Steve Jabba, Richard Hood and Johnny Berba are pick-up artists.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28They pick up women and try to get them into bed.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Don't worry, I'm not going to... I'm not a salesman, I'm not...

0:03:32 > 0:03:35For a fee, they can teach you their tricks, so you too can do THIS.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Excuse me, I just saw you walking past,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I noticed how nice you looked and I thought I'd come and talk to you.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44You look very sexy, I like to be honest.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47You've got a very, er...sexy look.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49And then you need to get physical.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Quickly. Oh, and lie, if you have to.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54I apologise, for a second.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Are you going to kiss me? - No, I'm not going to kiss you.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59HE LAUGHS

0:03:59 > 0:04:02My mentality is, these girls love me,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I own the street, it's my street party, it's my house,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07it's my rhythm, it's my tempo, it's my penis.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Oh, sleazy.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12I think that's the word I'd use, sleazy. They are creepy.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Would you stay with me?- No.- Why not? I'm funny!

0:04:15 > 0:04:16I do think pick-up artists,

0:04:16 > 0:04:18once you break them down, would be

0:04:18 > 0:04:23the kind of guys that would maybe cry after sex and be really earnest.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- MUFFLED SPEECH - I'll see you later.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31The pick-up industry refers to its techniques as game.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Women are there to be manipulated.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37And in case you don't believe they are successful, some of them

0:04:37 > 0:04:39film themselves having sex with women they've picked up

0:04:39 > 0:04:42and then they put it online. Classy.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46I think having sex with them looks about as much fun as a smear test.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50The internet is full of these guys, and they like to share their skills.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53What you're looking for here is a conversation

0:04:53 > 0:04:56she wants to talk about.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Eventually what I look for is, every time I touch her, I get a smile.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Bam! Now I know that she is conditioned right.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Men have been having sex with women successfully

0:05:05 > 0:05:07since the beginning of time.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09We are in a recession, get a real job!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13I reckon I've watched enough of these pick-up artists to train up my very own.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oi oi. Excuse me girls, excuse me, sorry.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20So I asked Joe here to try out some of the tactics

0:05:20 > 0:05:22the pick-up industry says work.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oi oi!

0:05:24 > 0:05:27First step. Be upfront in the approach.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Hi, excuse me, I'm not from around here,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33do you know the closest place where you and I could have sex?

0:05:33 > 0:05:37I will help you with your bags if we go and shag, the three of us?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41I was wondering I could trouble you for some intercourse?

0:05:41 > 0:05:45My parents live around here and they are back at seven o'clock?

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- Yeah...- So how about we go and hump before they get home?

0:05:50 > 0:05:52No, I'm all right, thanks.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- How about maybe just a tug job behind those bins?- No.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Second step, make them an offer they can't refuse.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02It's your lucky day! Basically, I've got the code to that disabled toilet

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- and we could go for a quickie. - I'm good. Thank you though.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06Oh, all right.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Psst! Psst! Ergh! Ergh!

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Third step, make them feel insecure.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16No, you're not all that, but your hands look soft.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19What have you been doing today? Anything fun or interesting?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Not really. Just working hard... Not really doing anything.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Can I just stop you there?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Um...I'm well bored. I'm well bored.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Final step, close the deal.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'm so... I think this is going quite well.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38I've got a friend who's got a kebabs shop round the corner.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41How about we go for a Doner and a blow job?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Thank you, that's the most horrific thing I've ever heard.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'm going to go. Best of luck to you.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Thank you to all the women who agreed to let us show them

0:06:49 > 0:06:52dealing with Joe's nonsense.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57Pick-up artists have really demeaned the whole concept of art.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?

0:07:00 > 0:07:06Pick-up artists have rendered Tracey Emin, van Gogh and John Coltrane

0:07:06 > 0:07:10as complete irrelevances now, because the word has lost all meaning.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12I think a bird just shit on my head.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15When it comes to Britain's lad culture,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18the pick-up artists must be the biggest sexists, right?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22But hold on a minute, my next stop is the hallowed halls of academia,

0:07:22 > 0:07:25the breeding ground for the next generation of scientists,

0:07:25 > 0:07:27lawyers, artists and poets.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32- What's your favourite sex position? - Missionary. Missionary.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35I would be very, very up for a spit roast.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Good. It is lucky because I live with you, so if you bring back a girl, then...

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Mate, game on, it is game on. - Game on.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Yes, that's right, next up, it's the uni lads.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Student events run by companies like Tequila

0:07:49 > 0:07:53and Carnage have been criticised by campaigners in the past.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57But the serious issues at university go beyond club nights.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00We are hearing from girls who can't go to the university library

0:08:00 > 0:08:02because when they went the last time,

0:08:02 > 0:08:04they bent down to get a book, someone took a picture of them

0:08:04 > 0:08:07from behind and put it on an anonymous site on the internet.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Laura Bates set up the Everyday Sexism Project,

0:08:10 > 0:08:12where women share their experiences.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15There was another uni where there was a page similar,

0:08:15 > 0:08:16but it was about the canteen.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19And the guys were commenting, saying "this is the one who

0:08:19 > 0:08:21"I would come in her face", like that kind of thing.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23It is really, like, you can't get a book out of the library,

0:08:23 > 0:08:25you can't go to eat that day.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Then something happens in a lecture,

0:08:27 > 0:08:30and I just think people don't realise how pervasive it is.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35This kind of harassment isn't isolated.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38In a recent survey, more than a third of female students said being

0:08:38 > 0:08:42groped or flashed was an almost everyday event.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45And if you're not being groped,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47then the lads at uni are singing songs about you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09This is a song that welcomed new

0:09:09 > 0:09:11students at Nottingham University last year.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I think we should start distributing alternative

0:09:20 > 0:09:24songs across university campuses, and the lyrics could be just,

0:09:24 > 0:09:25like,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28# Please don't rape people

0:09:28 > 0:09:30# It's bad

0:09:30 > 0:09:32# And also illegal

0:09:32 > 0:09:36# And you will go to jail. #

0:09:36 > 0:09:37But it is just banter, right?

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Don't get me wrong, women on campus also want to drink, party and,

0:09:41 > 0:09:45yes, have sex at events like Tequila and Carnage.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46But beyond these,

0:09:46 > 0:09:50critics say lad culture among some uni boys has arguably gone too far.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53The students union at Cardiff Metropolitan University says

0:09:53 > 0:09:56it is launching an investigation tonight after advertising a freshers

0:09:56 > 0:10:01event with a poster containing an explicit reference to rape.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04London student Sheeva is one of a growing number of women

0:10:04 > 0:10:06speaking out about rape at university.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08She was on a night out with friends

0:10:08 > 0:10:11when she realised she didn't have the money to get home.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13One of the guys I was with was like, "It is not a problem,

0:10:13 > 0:10:15"you can sleep on my couch." I was like, "OK, cool."

0:10:15 > 0:10:20He seemed nice enough, why not? Went back to his, he didn't have a couch.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23He had a bed. So I laid down...

0:10:23 > 0:10:26and then he proceeded to rape me.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28The entire night, several times over.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30It took me ages to even come to terms with the fact that

0:10:30 > 0:10:34I had been raped, that that was the word that I should be using.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Even though, you know, it was incredibly clear,

0:10:36 > 0:10:39it was violent, and I said no several times, so...

0:10:39 > 0:10:44That's what it is in that case, but when you're in that situation,

0:10:44 > 0:10:46you don't think it can happen to someone like you.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49And I do think that he knew what he was doing, now,

0:10:49 > 0:10:52but I don't think he thought it was a big deal.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Sheeva's story isn't unique, and it reveals how

0:10:58 > 0:11:02universities in Britain have a serious problem with sexism.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04We don't have to have lad culture.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07We could have something completely different. Like...

0:11:07 > 0:11:08Instead of reading lads mags,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11you could read magazines that were very in-depth articles about

0:11:11 > 0:11:15otters, or just a number of pictures

0:11:15 > 0:11:17of unlikely animal friendships.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21My advice to young guys going to uni would be simply, "Don't be a dick."

0:11:21 > 0:11:24To young women going to uni, I would probably say,

0:11:24 > 0:11:25"Fuck older men."

0:11:29 > 0:11:33OK, so now it is time for the last entry in the world of the lads,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35and it is the video game industry.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Like many of us, I find Candy Crush totally addictive.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Online and on consoles, hundreds of millions of people regularly

0:11:44 > 0:11:48play video games like Duke Nukem a first person shooter.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51And women like them just as much as men.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55Still, I do wonder why, in games like Dead Or Alive,

0:11:55 > 0:11:58the girls always seem to wear bikinis.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01My guide into this world is Julia Hardy.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- She presents gaming shows.- Number one...- Yeah.- ..it is massive.- OK, massive.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Number two...- Yeah.- ..it is massive. - Whoa, whoa.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12So many people object to antifeminist games.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17Do you think it is kind of OK because it is, you know, not real?

0:12:17 > 0:12:21It is so endemic, I barely notice it sometimes any more.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23There seem to be a lot of prostitutes,

0:12:23 > 0:12:25a lot of prostitutes, a lot of strip clubs.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28It doesn't seem to matter what fantasy world you go into,

0:12:28 > 0:12:32through time, space, countries, there's always a brothel.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I think if the world kind of approached gender

0:12:35 > 0:12:38roles in the same way that video games do, it would be like

0:12:38 > 0:12:41a mixture of Stringfellows and Game Of Thrones, it would

0:12:41 > 0:12:43just be fucking and fighting, basically.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46You can be violent against men and women,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49but then the women are always sexualised.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51And the guys kind of aren't.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Beating up a woman who is already in quite a submissive role,

0:12:54 > 0:12:58a passive role anyway, I don't know, there's something more

0:12:58 > 0:13:01abusive about that than saying it is a man who is fully clothed,

0:13:01 > 0:13:03who is walking down the street doing his own business.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07It is quite disturbing how much it's kind of rife through gaming.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09If you look at the treatment of women in video games,

0:13:09 > 0:13:12it's not a million miles away from Saudi Arabia.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Saudi Arabia has basically looked at Grand Theft Auto

0:13:14 > 0:13:17and thought, that's a gender politics we can get on board with.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22The sexism which is criticised in games like Dead Or Alive doesn't

0:13:22 > 0:13:23stop on screen.

0:13:24 > 0:13:30Female gamers like Julia are also regularly harassed or abused by men online.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32"Could you sit on my face?"

0:13:32 > 0:13:35"I would cream inside you so badly."

0:13:35 > 0:13:36"Fuck her right in the arse."

0:13:36 > 0:13:39"That Julia Hardy just needs good cock."

0:13:39 > 0:13:42In the beginning, when you started getting the stuff on Twitter, was it

0:13:42 > 0:13:45difficult to deal with, or have you just always been kind of OK with it?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48So, when it first started, everyone was kind of like,

0:13:48 > 0:13:51"Why don't you just ignore them?" So I got to the point where I was like,

0:13:51 > 0:13:55"All right, fine, I will just ignore them." And then I kind of...

0:13:55 > 0:13:56It never really sat well with me

0:13:56 > 0:14:00because it always felt a bit like, as a woman, my special power,

0:14:00 > 0:14:05my go-to in a time of crisis is silence.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08It is like the worst superhero power...ever.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Like, my special ability is being quiet.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13LEAH LAUGHS

0:14:13 > 0:14:15So, time for the first vote.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18In the world of Britain's lads, who are the worst sexists?

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Pick-up artists, uni lads, or the games industry?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24I would nominate the pick-up artists.

0:14:24 > 0:14:25I think they're super gross,

0:14:25 > 0:14:29but I think also they're a group of people who are benefitting

0:14:29 > 0:14:32financially from culturally entrenched misogyny.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36I would put uni lads, as an entirety,

0:14:36 > 0:14:39through to the final of Britain's Biggest Sexist,

0:14:39 > 0:14:42because I think their whole culture deserves to be

0:14:42 > 0:14:43wiped from the face of the planet.

0:14:43 > 0:14:48I would have to say that pick-up artists are the biggest sexists.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Pick-up artists are very calculated, they do

0:14:51 > 0:14:54seem to be almost sociopathic.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I think I would put uni lads through.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59University is supposed to be a place where people develop,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02and they get the chance to study and pursue what they love

0:15:02 > 0:15:04and build the person that they want to be.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08And if a group of people is trying to make that impossible for women,

0:15:08 > 0:15:11then they are harming the whole of society for the future.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21Next up in the battle for the title of Britain's Biggest Sexists,

0:15:21 > 0:15:22I'm heading to the workplace.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26From the boardroom to the shop floor, women earn less than men.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29In fact, there are more company chairmen in Britain called

0:15:29 > 0:15:32John than there are women.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35That's women called anything, not women called John.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Where better to start than the city of London,

0:15:38 > 0:15:42where women in finance earn 36% less than men?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45And it is not just pay that's a problem here. There have been a series

0:15:45 > 0:15:48of huge sex discrimination cases.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51The biggest involved city banker Svetlana Lokhova,

0:15:51 > 0:15:55who was subjected to a barrage of sexist behaviour by her bosses.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58So, Svetlana, can you tell me about the first things that started

0:15:58 > 0:16:00happening to you at work?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02My boss will do things, like, he will point at my chair

0:16:02 > 0:16:05in the middle of the office and say, "When is Miss Bonkers back?"

0:16:05 > 0:16:09So when did you start to realise that it was actually about your gender?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Well, I think...

0:16:12 > 0:16:16..I might have had an inkling because of comments like "Miss Bonkers",

0:16:16 > 0:16:17that happened before.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20I think I thought it might have had something to do with it,

0:16:20 > 0:16:23but if there was one sort of moment of truth,

0:16:23 > 0:16:26so to speak, that's when...

0:16:26 > 0:16:31I received e-mails from the company.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34These were e-mails written by Svetlana's boss

0:16:34 > 0:16:37and others at Sberbank CIB, where she worked.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41So, for example, about shrieking.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44And everything actually was "Miss", so "Miss Cokehead",

0:16:44 > 0:16:47"Miss Bonkers", and there

0:16:47 > 0:16:50were things like me being chemically imbalanced and things like that.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54So the wording there was absolutely clear, that you would not say

0:16:54 > 0:16:58this about the man, and all the insults were actually specifically about me being...

0:16:59 > 0:17:01..being a woman.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04The e-mails contained outright lies and sexist abuse,

0:17:04 > 0:17:08and they were sent to colleagues and potential clients around the world.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I really realised that my career was over at that stage.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16Svetlana took her case to a tribunal and won over £3 million,

0:17:16 > 0:17:20but after tax and legal fees, she'll be left with virtually nothing.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23What message does that send out? It kind of...

0:17:23 > 0:17:26I can see why other people would be put off from taking people to

0:17:26 > 0:17:28court when they've faced this kind of harassment.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32The finance industry does seem to have a bit of a problem

0:17:32 > 0:17:36when it comes to women, but we are complex and difficult.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Maybe they need a bit of help to manage us?

0:17:45 > 0:17:49This is my toolkit for surviving women who work in the City.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51There's not a lot of females around here, most of us don't want

0:17:51 > 0:17:54to worry our pretty little heads with this kind of work.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56So I'm going to go and try and tout my wares

0:17:56 > 0:17:58and see if I can give these out to the guys.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'm just giving out a few items today.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I've just got a female survival kit.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Do you get annoyed by the women in your office sometimes?

0:18:06 > 0:18:11So I've got some earplugs. If they start...yapping a bit too much.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- No, that's just pretty rude.- Well, it is rude when they start yapping all the time,

0:18:14 > 0:18:17isn't it? This is a badge for the time of the month.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Time of the month badge? Please stand back,

0:18:20 > 0:18:22stand back, I am menstruating.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24It is kind of helpful to know.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28Just so everybody is kind of aware when they are on the blob.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Please stay away. I can't control my emotions.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34So you know how women get a bit..."cuckoo"?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Find out if she is on her period.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38If she is, get her to wear this badge.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'm liable to make some very bad decisions.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43And then everybody will know to keep a safe distance.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- We are trying to help men... - Understand them better?- No.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Warning, warning.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Really what we all need for the ladies is just this.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Tea orders.- You can't really ask them to make tea.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57You can't ask a woman to make tea?

0:18:57 > 0:19:01We've also got a red beret, which kind of says, like, "Do not

0:19:01 > 0:19:05- "approach, her hormones are racing." - I'm going to tell you to piss off.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07You don't like women, do you?

0:19:07 > 0:19:10- So, will you take the beret and the badge?- I wouldn't.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14OK, your loss, good luck with all the women.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Now, from the lack of female high-flyers in the City to the

0:19:16 > 0:19:20lack of female high-flyers in, well, the sky.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34Back in 2009, this Virgin ad was criticised for sexism.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37The aviation industry doesn't have a great track record in employing

0:19:37 > 0:19:40women. There are over 30 male

0:19:40 > 0:19:44pilots, like this chap, to each female.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47But if you think the Virgin ad is a little bit sexist, check out this.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Hello. I'm Chrissy, this is Jess.- Hello.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54..and Ariel.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57And we are going to take you through Safety In Paradise.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00This collaboration with supermodels led to an online

0:20:00 > 0:20:02petition from critics over sexism.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06At Vietnamese airline, VietJet Air,

0:20:06 > 0:20:09the girls are also the in-flight entertainment.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12As for Ryanair, until last year

0:20:12 > 0:20:16they were publishing a charity calendar featuring their crew.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19The girls should be fun, confident

0:20:19 > 0:20:22and upbeat with a really positive attitude.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23A Spanish judge banned adverts for it

0:20:23 > 0:20:26on the grounds that it was discriminatory.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30The company has now dropped the calendar.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33But the really big question, for me,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36is why does Richard Branson keep picking women up?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39# You raise me up

0:20:39 > 0:20:44# So I can stand on mountains... #

0:20:44 > 0:20:47I just see Richard Branson's leering face

0:20:47 > 0:20:49while he's picking up somebody a third of his age, like...

0:20:51 > 0:20:54# I am strong

0:20:54 > 0:20:58# When I am on your shoulders... #

0:20:59 > 0:21:04Another industry which has come in for criticism is entertainment.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07On the red carpet, women seem to be asked more about what they're

0:21:07 > 0:21:09wearing than their acting.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12What are you wearing? How did you pick this dress and your tux?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Julianne Moore has arrived on the fashion cam,

0:21:14 > 0:21:17and, ooh, la, la, look at that dress!

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Your dress looks stunning! Oh, my goodness!

0:21:19 > 0:21:22You absolutely can ask me who I'm wearing.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26I'm wearing some jeans that I bought from a shop...

0:21:26 > 0:21:29er, a shirt... I think the shirt's from Next.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35Now film stars are queuing up to have their say.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38First, Emma Thompson told us things were "completely shit"

0:21:38 > 0:21:40for women, then Helen Mirren joined in,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43describing the industry's sexism as "outrageous".

0:21:43 > 0:21:45But are they right?

0:21:46 > 0:21:48This is Avatar.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Is that a chimpanzee?!

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Patrick, what are you doing? - Vandalising stuff.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00What do these blockbusters have in common?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03We're going to stay here now. We're not going home right now.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05They all fail the Bechdel Test.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07This is uncomfortable.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10So, what is the Bechdel Test?

0:22:10 > 0:22:13So, the Bechdel Test originally came from a cartoon strip,

0:22:13 > 0:22:15which was two characters walking along,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17and one said she would only go to see a film

0:22:17 > 0:22:21if it had two female characters, preferably named,

0:22:21 > 0:22:25who talk to each other about something other than a man.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28So, it sounds fairly simple, it sounds pretty basic.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31And yet, over 50% of films fail it.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35One recent film which does pass the test is American Hustle.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38- You should treat people... - Hardly surprising.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's got strong male and female characters

0:22:40 > 0:22:43played by Jennifer Lawrence and Elisabeth Rohm.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47At one point, they talk to each other and it's not about a man.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I love the smell of it. "Irving, I can't get enough of it."

0:22:49 > 0:22:54However, if you listen carefully, the chat's about nail polish.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56But there's also something rotten.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59And I know that sounds crazy, but I can't get enough of it!

0:22:59 > 0:23:00But smell it, it's true.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Maybe this is just the way the film industry is.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04What's the problem if women talk about men in films?

0:23:04 > 0:23:09- It's not real life.- The problem is, if you reverse the Bechdel Test,

0:23:09 > 0:23:14if you looked to see how many films feature two male named

0:23:14 > 0:23:18characters talking about something other than a woman,

0:23:18 > 0:23:20practically every film would pass.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25But if there's a shortage of good roles for women in cinema,

0:23:25 > 0:23:29then there's an even bigger shortage for older women.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Hi! Are you lost?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35And you hardly ever see one as a love interest.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39- We're celebrating Julia's last fuckable day.- Yes! Salud!- Whoo!

0:23:41 > 0:23:46- I'm sorry, did you say "Julia's last fuckable day"?- Mm-hm.- What is that?

0:23:46 > 0:23:50In every actress's life, the media decides when you finally

0:23:50 > 0:23:53reach the point where you're not believably fuckable any more.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57There is this perception that once a woman stops being sexually

0:23:57 > 0:24:01attractive - let's face it - to young men, that she shouldn't be

0:24:01 > 0:24:03allowed to be a lead in a film any more.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Romantically speaking,

0:24:04 > 0:24:09women are put on the shelf these days at about 37, certainly by 40,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12whereas the guys seem to be romantic leads

0:24:12 > 0:24:15- until they're into their sixties. - Mm.- It's crazy.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Great recent examples of this include Richard Gere.

0:24:18 > 0:24:24In Arbitrage, he is married but has a girlfriend 29 years younger.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26I want you!

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Though, fortunately for those who might find it distasteful to see

0:24:29 > 0:24:32a man kissing a woman young enough to be his daughter,

0:24:32 > 0:24:35she dies early on when he crashes the car.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42And even better, Liam Neeson, now 63, in his last film, Third Person,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45was 31 years older than his love interest.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48You should be writing about me.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Are you?- I write about what I know. - And you know me.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57Christ, there's nothing creepier than a 60-year-old man with

0:24:57 > 0:25:00a 30-year-old love interest on screen. It looks wrong.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07It's not just Hollywood that discriminates against older women.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Former presenter of Countryfile, Miriam O'Reilly,

0:25:14 > 0:25:17who claimed she'd lost her job because of age discrimination,

0:25:17 > 0:25:19has won her case against the BBC.

0:25:20 > 0:25:25When the BBC axed 53-year-old Miriam O'Reilly from Countryfile,

0:25:25 > 0:25:28they left 68-year-old John Craven in his job.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29Bye for now.

0:25:31 > 0:25:37Once upon a time, being in the armed forces was considered a man's job.

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Not any more.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42The military now encourages women to join up at all levels.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46But an Army survey revealed nearly 40% of women experienced unwanted

0:25:46 > 0:25:49sexual comments and 12% reported

0:25:49 > 0:25:51unwelcome attempts to touch them.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Things have got so bad,

0:25:53 > 0:25:54the Army has launched a campaign to

0:25:54 > 0:25:58tell its soldiers to, well, not rape anyone.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01It is worrying that we live in a society where we're having

0:26:01 > 0:26:06to produce posters that say, "Don't rape women".

0:26:06 > 0:26:10My concern is that we now have to have all sorts of new

0:26:10 > 0:26:12campaigns to clarify basic legal...

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Like "If you didn't pay for it, it's stealing."

0:26:15 > 0:26:20"If they didn't ask to be murdered, it's definitely murder."

0:26:20 > 0:26:24The finance industry, the Army and Hollywood - the battle to be

0:26:24 > 0:26:28crowned the biggest sexist in the workplace is hotting up.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29But there is one final entrant.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Step forward the literally thousands of companies who sack

0:26:33 > 0:26:35women for getting pregnant.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38A Fermanagh woman has been awarded

0:26:38 > 0:26:41£23,000 in a sex-discrimination case.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Nicola McNamee lost her job as a bakery assistant in Lisnaskea

0:26:45 > 0:26:49within days of telling her employers at Melting Moments

0:26:49 > 0:26:50that she was pregnant.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54I had no money. Y'know, I was... I was just devastated.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58Nearly two years ago now, I handed in my maternity notice at work,

0:26:58 > 0:27:01and two weeks later my contract was terminated.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04The amazing thing is that this isn't unusual.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07The number of women being forced out of their jobs

0:27:07 > 0:27:10because of having a child has nearly doubled in ten years.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Once they've had kids, they're viewed in this way, like,

0:27:13 > 0:27:16"Oh, you're a mother now, so you're unreliable.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19"And also, while you were away, we promoted loads of men above you."

0:27:19 > 0:27:22And I think that is a terrible thing, and it's not right.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25If people are having families, it shouldn't affect their careers.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28That shouldn't be a kind of acceptable reasoning.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32- And, you know, men have children, as well.- I was about to say that!

0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Women don't have babies on their own.- Right. Exactly.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39Yeah, pregnant women are awful, and they smell weird.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44And they're very narcissistic and self-centred.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46It's vote time.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Who are the winners from the world of work for Britain's biggest sexists?

0:27:49 > 0:27:52I nominate companies that discriminate against pregnant

0:27:52 > 0:27:54women for the category of Britain's biggest sexists.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57If you have a woman who is incredibly capable

0:27:57 > 0:28:01and more capable than a man with her equivalent qualifications

0:28:01 > 0:28:02but she's not able to do the job

0:28:02 > 0:28:04because you're not providing adequate

0:28:04 > 0:28:07maternity cover, you're not getting the most out of your workforce.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Actually, it might benefit you, you idiot.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Companies discriminating against pregnant women is

0:28:13 > 0:28:16highest on my list, because they're breaking the law.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17I would have to say

0:28:17 > 0:28:21the companies that discriminate against pregnant

0:28:21 > 0:28:24women, because I'm surprised that's even still happening.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34So, on we go with the search for Britain's biggest sexists.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Now I'm going to go back in time, to when we were all children.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Is that where sexism begins and where sexists are made?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47I thought I'd find out by asking some children.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53- What are you doing now?- I'm cleaning the floor.- Cleaning the floor.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56Do you like any of the toys on that table?

0:28:58 > 0:29:04- No.- No?- I don't like cars. - You don't like cars?

0:29:04 > 0:29:05They're boring!

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- You know when you two came in?- Yeah.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12- You both came to this table, didn't you?- Yeah.- Not that table.- No.- Why?

0:29:12 > 0:29:16- Because that one's too girlie. - And this is for boys.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20- How do you know it's for boys?- Pink. - Pink?- Yeah.- Do you not like pink?

0:29:21 > 0:29:25- I do like pink, but pink is more of a girl's colour.- OK.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29But it is really strange that we've somehow just completely

0:29:29 > 0:29:33associated pink with girls. I don't look good in blue.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37I do look good in pink. It's a very difficult time for me.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41I think not enough people are acknowledging my shirt

0:29:41 > 0:29:45choices as one of the victims of sexism.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47'Back to the nursery for more research.'

0:29:47 > 0:29:49What game are you playing?

0:29:49 > 0:29:52- War.- War! Excellent.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Hey, what's more fun, playing war or playing with dolls' house?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Erm...

0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Dolls' house.- Arrrgh! - What's wrong with this?

0:30:02 > 0:30:04BOYS LAUGH

0:30:04 > 0:30:09- Would you not play with this? - No.- No chance!- No chance? Never?

0:30:09 > 0:30:12I only play with it by ripping its head off!

0:30:12 > 0:30:16'But perhaps girls and boys have always liked different toys.'

0:30:16 > 0:30:18My favourite toys when I was a child were Sylvanian Families.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22And what I used to do is take all the clothes off them

0:30:22 > 0:30:27and then make them perform indecent acts on each other.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29I wasn't into Barbie.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31# Barbie Rainbow Hair! #

0:30:31 > 0:30:34I felt Barbie was a bit of an airhead.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38I thought she was a bit of a thicko. I really liked My Little Ponies.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40# Here comes Pony Bright.... #

0:30:40 > 0:30:44I had one that smelled like vanilla. You could rub its sides.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48In an ideal world, it would smell like Lynx or something.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Then I wouldn't have the smell of feminine vanilla

0:30:52 > 0:30:54pumped down my nostrils!

0:30:54 > 0:30:57But things are pretty divided these days,

0:30:57 > 0:31:02from boys with blaster guns to this company, WILD! Science.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Boys' science looks like this.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07Stack them up then drop them and watch as all the energy of the

0:31:07 > 0:31:11bottom ball hyperlaunches the top ball way, way into the air!

0:31:11 > 0:31:13And this is what girls get.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17..real style with the amazing Magic Nail Lab from WILD! Science.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20It's so simple and fun to do.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24Mix in a dash of colour or give your nails the shimmering look.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26From the start, as a little girl,

0:31:26 > 0:31:29you are handed the doll, because you're going to be a mum.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31That's what you're going to do, your responsibility.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33If the boy touches the doll, it's, "No, they're not for boys".

0:31:33 > 0:31:37Like, what is that saying about boys who are going to be parents later?

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Like, "No, no, that's not for you. Put that down. Don't be weird."

0:31:39 > 0:31:44You might think that there's always been a difference. Girls like beauty.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49And boys like cars, like these ones.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53But there's evidence that it's getting worse. Take Lego.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's a perfect example of a company that splits products between boys

0:31:56 > 0:31:58and girls.

0:31:58 > 0:31:59New, Lego Friends!

0:31:59 > 0:32:00But it wasn't always so.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Lego is something that often comes up in these discussions.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06What does your research tell you? What are your thoughts about Lego?

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Legos were marketed in a fairly gender-neutral way for a long

0:32:10 > 0:32:14time, but in the '80s and '90s Lego shifted towards a male-centric

0:32:14 > 0:32:16marketing model, where they were really targeting boys.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19My new Lego locomotive is ready! Can I start?

0:32:19 > 0:32:22As a consequence, girls stopped playing with Lego,

0:32:22 > 0:32:27so in 2011 Lego introduced the Friends line for girls.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Time to chill with the girls!

0:32:29 > 0:32:32At the beauty shop, Emma is styled and ready to go.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35So, to put the claim that girls play differently with Lego

0:32:35 > 0:32:38and that's why they weren't playing with Lego as much,

0:32:38 > 0:32:42and so they needed to design a special kind of girl Lego.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45So I went out and got a pile of the most gendered toys

0:32:45 > 0:32:48I could find on the market and took them to our judges.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Then I asked them to pick the worst.

0:32:51 > 0:32:56So, I think the Fairy Princess Party looks particularly

0:32:56 > 0:32:59sickening when compared with the Pirate Party,

0:32:59 > 0:33:02which, I have to say, looks a hell of a lot more fun.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04It appears to be saying to girls,

0:33:04 > 0:33:07"All you can be is nice-smelling princesses," but it seems to

0:33:07 > 0:33:11be encouraging boys to just be, you know, thieves and arsonists.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13I'm not sure whether this is helping anyone.

0:33:13 > 0:33:17Right, Fairy Princess Party is a shit, boring party, right?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Look, OK, they're playing along.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22They can't even be bothered to smile about it. "Oh, yeah..."

0:33:22 > 0:33:27Everyone knows the interesting part of a plane journey is customs.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31Everyone knows the security check is the most fun part of flying.

0:33:31 > 0:33:38I like this slutty My Little Pony. They were ponies when I was a child.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Now they're sort of anorexic stripper types.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48Is she a woman? Is she a pony? I can't... I can't really quite tell.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50They just both look like they've

0:33:50 > 0:33:53been in a plastic surgery disaster accident.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Oh, no! You didn't!

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Make your own perfume lab, because you can do chemistry,

0:34:00 > 0:34:03but it has to be about making yourself pretty.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06Exploding Volcano. Have you any idea

0:34:06 > 0:34:09how tedious that is compared to that?

0:34:09 > 0:34:14I mean, it's almost like a parody of how culture views boys and girls.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18Girls, beautiful. But boys, hey, you're brilliant.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20My winner is this one,

0:34:20 > 0:34:25because it's telling people from a very young age that there's

0:34:25 > 0:34:27a certain conventional way they have to be

0:34:27 > 0:34:30and that this is an important thing to aspire to.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32I think these, really, are the

0:34:32 > 0:34:34winners in terms of sexist toys, I'd say.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37I'm just going to skip to the end to see if she's...

0:34:37 > 0:34:40like, having a baby and then skip to the bit after that,

0:34:40 > 0:34:44where she gets postnatal depression and he leaves.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47My favourite is absolutely The Girls' Beautiful Sticker Book.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49I think that that is...

0:34:50 > 0:34:56..almost a spoof of a product that's aimed at young girls.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58I think it's ridiculous.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01And also, I love unicorns,

0:35:01 > 0:35:04and I don't know why I'm being made to feel ashamed about that.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06This is my favourite.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11I hope to use it as an instruction manual for my wedding.

0:35:17 > 0:35:22So, making a TV show about sexism can be quite difficult, because most

0:35:22 > 0:35:26of the time, people are too smart to be recorded saying something sexist.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29I say "most of the time". That's until you get to sport,

0:35:29 > 0:35:33where the sexist gaffe has pretty much been turned into an art form.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38So, here's a quick selection of some of the best.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40First up is racing legend Stirling Moss.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44For those who don't know, he's the bald one in the middle.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48I think women certainly have the strength and I don't know if they've

0:35:48 > 0:35:54got the mental aptitude to race hard, actually, wheel to wheel.

0:35:54 > 0:35:55CRASH!

0:35:55 > 0:35:57And driving's not the only thing that women can't do.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01What are the major differences between male and female jockeys?

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Strength.

0:36:03 > 0:36:04It boils down to strength.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07All-over strength. Mental, as well.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09I think males handle things a bit more.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13What you'll find is the females will know they have to put more in, so

0:36:13 > 0:36:16they will go the extra yard, knowing they've got to catch a male up.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20- They will put more time in. - They'll go the extra mile.- Yes.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23- That's women for you.- Yes. Still can't ride, though.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Right... At least in tennis,

0:36:25 > 0:36:28champions like Marion Bartoli can be judged on their skill.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Well, I just wonder if her dad, because obviously he's been the most

0:36:31 > 0:36:35influential person in her life, I just wonder if her dad did say

0:36:35 > 0:36:37to her when she was 12, 13, 14, maybe,

0:36:37 > 0:36:40"Listen, you are never going to be a looker.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43"You are never going to be somebody like Sharapova, who's...

0:36:43 > 0:36:46"You're never going to be 5 foot 11, never going to have long legs.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48"So you have to compensate for that.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52"You are going to have to be the most dogged, determined fighter that

0:36:52 > 0:36:55"anyone has ever seen on the tennis court if you're going to make it."

0:36:55 > 0:36:56And she kind of is.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00But when the men are on the golf course, we women know our place.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Wife Kim looking on, anxiously thinking,

0:37:03 > 0:37:06"If this goes in, we've got a new kitchen".

0:37:06 > 0:37:10Maybe she doesn't want a kitchen. Maybe she wants a crossbow.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14But when it comes to sexism, there's really only one sport to choose from.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17All of our contenders for biggest sexist in this category

0:37:17 > 0:37:18come from football.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Part of the problem, it seems, is that some boys don't like us

0:37:23 > 0:37:25joining in.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Chelsea's former team doctor Eva Carneiro was

0:37:29 > 0:37:32a target for pretty nasty abuse at grounds.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42It doesn't surprise me how sexist some sports fans are,

0:37:42 > 0:37:46because at school all the thick people would do PE,

0:37:46 > 0:37:49and generally, thick people are more sexist.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53Our first contenders in this section got upset about female line

0:37:53 > 0:37:55official Sian Massey.

0:37:56 > 0:38:01It's January 2011, and Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray is

0:38:01 > 0:38:03asked about Sian being on duty for that night's match.

0:38:21 > 0:38:22And then, during the game,

0:38:22 > 0:38:26he and his friend Richard Keys continued the theme.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Andy Gray and Richard Keys are obviously turds.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47But they were the ones who were caught.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51The pair have since apologised.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55Our next entrant is football manager Lee Ashcroft.

0:38:55 > 0:38:58Lee makes our list of sexists thanks to his treatment of fellow

0:38:58 > 0:39:03football coach Hannah Dingley, coach of non-league Gresley.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Come on, two minutes of play!

0:39:05 > 0:39:08She made Lee's acquaintance at a league match in 2013.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11I think we had a player sent off, and he made a comment,

0:39:11 > 0:39:13and then they scored a goal and he made a comment.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17It was always when their team had an advantage over ours.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20And it was things like, "Oh, take that, then, you fucking slag,"

0:39:20 > 0:39:24or, you know, "There you go, you split arse".

0:39:24 > 0:39:26For those who are unaware,

0:39:26 > 0:39:30"split arse" is a lovely way of describing female genitalia.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32"Go home and do the washing."

0:39:32 > 0:39:34So, when he started shouting these things at you,

0:39:34 > 0:39:37what was your reaction? How did you feel?

0:39:37 > 0:39:40I think at first it was a bit like, you know, try not to let him

0:39:40 > 0:39:43show you that he's bothering you, cos you don't want...

0:39:43 > 0:39:45I suppose any sort of bully,

0:39:45 > 0:39:47if they show that they're getting to you they've won.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50So it was just trying to be calm

0:39:50 > 0:39:53and just sort of let it pass you by a little bit.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55It wasn't till after the game it hit,

0:39:55 > 0:39:57cos we went to report it to the referee,

0:39:57 > 0:39:59to basically explain what had gone on,

0:39:59 > 0:40:02cos nothing could be done unless we've reported it to the referee.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05And then I sort of broke down. That's probably when you realise

0:40:05 > 0:40:08that that affected me more than I thought it did.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Now, football is pretty tolerant of sexist behaviour,

0:40:11 > 0:40:15but even the FA thought Lee had gone just a little bit too far.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19The manager was banned from attending the next ten matches his team

0:40:19 > 0:40:23was playing in. He has apologised for his behaviour.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26I think that there's a lot of guys that seem to be threatened

0:40:26 > 0:40:30by women who are interested in and understand football.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33And again, I'm not really sure why.

0:40:33 > 0:40:38I think it is just a sort of affront to their masculinity, in some ways.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41I don't know, why is it that guys are threatened by women in football?

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Maybe they're just scared they're going to get saddled with

0:40:44 > 0:40:46the childcare on Saturdays.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Why is sport, or football, just for men?

0:40:49 > 0:40:52There's more girls now playing, there's more women now playing,

0:40:52 > 0:40:56so why are there not more coaches, not more female referees?

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Why are they not getting these opportunities?

0:41:00 > 0:41:02OK, so we've seen what happens in football

0:41:02 > 0:41:06when women want to be doctors, line officials and managers.

0:41:06 > 0:41:11So what about players? Well, women's football has made huge advances.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Most Premier League clubs have their own women's team.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18But two are holding out, Southampton and Manchester United.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21We went to ask the fans at United's first home game of the season

0:41:21 > 0:41:26if they'd sign a fake petition against having a women's team.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28We're trying to get signatures to oppose setting up a women's

0:41:28 > 0:41:31- football team. What do you think of women's football generally?- Shit.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Do you watch women's football? - No.- No!- No?- It's not interesting.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38Bollocks to that, mate. They should be at home making me tea!

0:41:38 > 0:41:40All this fucking bollocks. Do we need one? No, do we fuck.

0:41:40 > 0:41:44We should be fair and say most of the fans refused to sign.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47They didn't seem to have a problem with women's football.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50So what is it about the sport?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Could it have something to do with those in charge?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56This is Sepp Blatter, long-standing Fifa supremo.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59He had a novel idea for improving women's football.

0:41:59 > 0:42:03Let the women play in more feminine clothes, like they do in volleyball.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06They could, for example, have tighter shorts.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10And that's how we come to our final contender, the charming

0:42:10 > 0:42:13Richard Scudamore, the chief exec of the Football Association.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16He e-mailed a friend telling him to stay away from a woman

0:42:16 > 0:42:19they both knew. As he put it...

0:42:27 > 0:42:30And he forwarded on to a friend an updated version of a fairy

0:42:30 > 0:42:32story he'd been sent.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50Riding motorcycles and banging skinny, big-titted broads?

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Isn't that what 50-something men do when they have a midlife crisis?

0:42:54 > 0:42:58Richard did apologise, but he's still in the running.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03So, Richard Scudamore, Lee Ashcroft, Richard Keys and Andy Gray

0:43:03 > 0:43:07are definitely in the running for the award of Britain's biggest sexists.

0:43:07 > 0:43:08But who wins the vote?

0:43:08 > 0:43:11I'm not sure these guys are the biggest sexists,

0:43:11 > 0:43:15but they really are the people who have defined it in football -

0:43:15 > 0:43:17I think it's got to be Keys and Gray.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Manchester United and Southampton.

0:43:19 > 0:43:24It was as if they were going, "Just in case you were in any doubt about

0:43:24 > 0:43:27"how sexist we are, we just want to assure you

0:43:27 > 0:43:29"we definitely hate women."

0:43:29 > 0:43:32I mean, they're all shit, but I think when it comes down to it I'd

0:43:32 > 0:43:35go for Lee Ashcroft for the "slag" comment.

0:43:35 > 0:43:36Richard Keys and Andy Gray,

0:43:36 > 0:43:40and I would nominate them partly because they think that they're

0:43:40 > 0:43:43so cool that they can use derogatory language about the women

0:43:43 > 0:43:47around them and treat them like they're sex objects to service them

0:43:47 > 0:43:49when they haven't looked at themselves

0:43:49 > 0:43:52and seen that they are old men and they are a joke.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00There are lots of big sexists in Britain,

0:44:00 > 0:44:02from football managers to pick-up artists,

0:44:02 > 0:44:06even to businesses who will sack women for getting pregnant.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08Where are they getting their inspiration from?

0:44:08 > 0:44:11I wonder if it could be from over there.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14It's a mostly male workplace with lots of strange goings-on,

0:44:14 > 0:44:17and the boss has been known to make the odd sexist gaffe.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20I hope the honourable members opposite will remember

0:44:20 > 0:44:23Howard Stoate, who was the Member of Parliament for Dartford.

0:44:23 > 0:44:24MPS SHOUT OUT

0:44:24 > 0:44:30Yes! He's no longer an MP, because he lost the election, I'm afraid,

0:44:30 > 0:44:33because of a Conservative candidate, but he's now a GP.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35FEMALE MP SHOUTS OUT

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Calm down, dear, calm down. Calm down.

0:44:38 > 0:44:41Oh, my God! No!

0:44:41 > 0:44:43How proud we should be that we have a prime minster who

0:44:43 > 0:44:46gets his cultural references from adverts.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49Calm down, dear. It's a commercial.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52There's half as many of you as there should be, and you get told,

0:44:52 > 0:44:53"Calm down, dear".

0:44:53 > 0:44:56I think anyone who quotes an advert line should immediately

0:44:56 > 0:44:58reconsider all of their life choices.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01I'm not going to apologise. You do need to calm down.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04But at least we can all be grateful that we're not faced with this guy

0:45:04 > 0:45:05as a potential leader.

0:45:05 > 0:45:09You've called women you don't like "fat pigs", "dogs",

0:45:09 > 0:45:13"slobs" and "disgusting animals". Your Twitter account...

0:45:13 > 0:45:15Only Rosie O'Donnell.

0:45:15 > 0:45:16LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:45:16 > 0:45:19And if you think he's a joker, what about this fella, the Turkish

0:45:19 > 0:45:24deputy prime minister who told women that laughing wasn't allowed?

0:45:26 > 0:45:27And before we get all smug,

0:45:27 > 0:45:31women in British politics are not laughing, either.

0:45:32 > 0:45:33Just ask Liz Kendall,

0:45:33 > 0:45:37who was quizzed about her weight during the Labour leadership contest.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40You know, in the Mail On Sunday you were even asked about how much

0:45:40 > 0:45:43- you weighed. - Yeah, it's unbelievable.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47I just think it's unbelievable that in the 21st century women

0:45:47 > 0:45:51still get asked such very, very different questions from men.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55Can you imagine the Mail On Sunday asking the weight

0:45:55 > 0:45:58of the Prime Minister, George Osborne

0:45:58 > 0:46:00or any other leading politician?

0:46:00 > 0:46:04I cannot wait for a world when women are judged the same as men

0:46:04 > 0:46:06and not by those kind of questions.

0:46:08 > 0:46:12So, do the problems in politics start with Parliament itself?

0:46:12 > 0:46:15I asked some of the new crop of female MPs

0:46:15 > 0:46:16if they thought it was sexist.

0:46:19 > 0:46:23I do think that it's a bit of an old boys' network in there,

0:46:23 > 0:46:25and when you first arrive it's quite clear that it's just

0:46:25 > 0:46:28kind of a sea of kind of grey suits.

0:46:28 > 0:46:32For the first few weeks, it very much felt like I was just surrounded

0:46:32 > 0:46:37by middle-aged men in suits or young male researchers called

0:46:37 > 0:46:38Will, Tom or Ben.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41'But there have been some attempts to make women feel welcome.'

0:46:41 > 0:46:44On the first week when I arrived, I was given a tour of Parliament,

0:46:44 > 0:46:47and they showed us all these rooms, and there was one room

0:46:47 > 0:46:49where they said, "Oh, you'll need to know where this is.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51"This is the ladies' members' room."

0:46:51 > 0:46:54It's this really strange kind of room with...

0:46:54 > 0:46:57like, doilies and little comfy sofas and an ironing board.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Did she say "ironing board"?

0:46:59 > 0:47:00It's like a ladies' powder room.

0:47:00 > 0:47:05There's a little bed, I think, in case you need to have 40 winks!

0:47:05 > 0:47:06In case it all gets a bit too much.

0:47:06 > 0:47:10Yeah! And then, like, a little desk with a pile of magazines,

0:47:10 > 0:47:12like Home And Garden.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15When Labour MP Stella Creasy was elected to Parliament five

0:47:15 > 0:47:18years ago, there were even fewer female MPs around,

0:47:18 > 0:47:21especially young blonde ones.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23I got stopped by another male MP from another party who told me

0:47:23 > 0:47:26that I couldn't possibly be in the right place, because it

0:47:26 > 0:47:30was for MPs or people who were disabled and I was clearly neither.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33The depressing thing is that even here, where women can have a

0:47:33 > 0:47:38lot of real power, the focus is on what they're wearing.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40See, women are judged by their appearance first

0:47:40 > 0:47:42and their words second.

0:47:42 > 0:47:46I mean, if we look at some of the dudes that have been in politics...

0:47:46 > 0:47:48Not exactly oil paintings.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Inevitably, it's a frustration to me

0:47:50 > 0:47:53that I get asked where I get my clothes from or what

0:47:53 > 0:47:56I wore for something or if it's appropriate, what I'm wearing.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Female MPs who speak up about this kind of sexism have

0:47:59 > 0:48:02increasingly become the target of online abuse.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05Stella Creasy became a particular favourite of the trolls

0:48:05 > 0:48:08when she campaigned to get Jane Austen put on the £10 note.

0:48:10 > 0:48:14She's agreed to read out some of the more charming tweets she was sent.

0:48:14 > 0:48:15"Hi, slut.

0:48:15 > 0:48:17"I'm going to cut off your head

0:48:17 > 0:48:20"and then fuck-face your silly little head."

0:48:20 > 0:48:23"Get your pussy and your bum ready.

0:48:23 > 0:48:27"My dick is coming for you at 6pm sharp."

0:48:27 > 0:48:29"Gonna kill you and then eat you."

0:48:31 > 0:48:33So we've established that the political world isn't

0:48:33 > 0:48:36the friendliest place for women.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Let's look at some examples of rather controversial

0:48:38 > 0:48:41comments from our parliamentarians.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45First up, former Labour MP Austin Mitchell in a Twitter

0:48:45 > 0:48:48spat in 2012 with retiring Tory MP Louise Mensch.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Shut up, Menschkin.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53A good wife doesn't disagree with her master in public,

0:48:53 > 0:48:57and a good little girl doesn't lie about why she quit politics.

0:48:57 > 0:49:03"A good wife doesn't argue with her master." Like, oh, guys!

0:49:03 > 0:49:05We're not in the 18th century.

0:49:05 > 0:49:10Like, I know the buildings are old, but you're still in the real world.

0:49:10 > 0:49:14Let's assume this was a slightly rubbish joke.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18But here's what he had to say about more women in Parliament.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20It cannot be denied that feminisation

0:49:20 > 0:49:23and youthification will make Parliament brighter,

0:49:23 > 0:49:26smarter and nicer, yet the Commons will also be more preoccupied

0:49:26 > 0:49:29with the local rather than the international.

0:49:31 > 0:49:34Clearly, foreign affairs are too difficult for women.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36Just ask Hillary Clinton...

0:49:36 > 0:49:37Madeleine Albright...

0:49:37 > 0:49:39Condoleezza Rice

0:49:39 > 0:49:41and Margaret Thatcher.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45Now over to the Tories,

0:49:45 > 0:49:48where Dominic Raab received flak for this quote.

0:49:50 > 0:49:53From the cradle to the grave, men get the raw deal,

0:49:53 > 0:49:58work longer hours, die earlier but retire later than women.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01But he really got into trouble when he described feminists as

0:50:01 > 0:50:03"obnoxious bigots".

0:50:03 > 0:50:08At this point, Theresa May felt the need to slap him down in public.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10We should be trying to get away from gender warfare

0:50:10 > 0:50:13and the politics of difference, as my honourable friend has said,

0:50:13 > 0:50:16but I might suggest to him that labelling feminists as

0:50:16 > 0:50:19"obnoxious bigots" is not the way forward to do that.

0:50:22 > 0:50:23And outside this building,

0:50:23 > 0:50:27it's Ukip who've led the charge for Britain's sexists.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31Here's the delightful Godfrey Bloom, who in 2013 got himself

0:50:31 > 0:50:34into trouble with his comments about women at a meeting.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37LAUGHTER

0:50:37 > 0:50:41He's one of the first pre-satirised politicians.

0:50:41 > 0:50:45Everything he says comes out like it was written by Armando Iannucci.

0:50:45 > 0:50:48You said that this place is full of sluts. Is that true?

0:50:48 > 0:50:49You'll have to look at the clips.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52I can't remember what's true or not. What I do remember...

0:50:52 > 0:50:54But you must remember what you said 15 minutes ago.

0:50:54 > 0:50:59..is everybody, everybody, er... I think all the girls said,

0:50:59 > 0:51:01"No, none of us clean behind the fridge."

0:51:01 > 0:51:02- WOMAN:- I must say, I do.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05Do you? And I made a joke and said, "Oh, well, you're all sluts,"

0:51:05 > 0:51:07and everybody laughed, including all the women.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09I don't know where you're trying to go with this.

0:51:09 > 0:51:12Was there a single woman in there that didn't laugh at the joke,

0:51:12 > 0:51:14you sad little man?

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Disgraceful! You're disgraceful!

0:51:16 > 0:51:18He was forced to resign soon after.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20Hello, good morning!

0:51:20 > 0:51:22But some of the views of his leader, Nigel Farage,

0:51:22 > 0:51:24have also been criticised.

0:51:24 > 0:51:27If a woman takes years off to have a child,

0:51:27 > 0:51:30she's worth far less to her employer on her return.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34And his feminist credentials weren't helped when one of his MEPs,

0:51:34 > 0:51:36Marta Andreasen, quit, saying,

0:51:36 > 0:51:40"He thinks women should be in the kitchen or the bedroom".

0:51:40 > 0:51:43And in case the Lib Dems felt left out or smug...

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Lord Rennard has formally

0:51:45 > 0:51:48apologised to four female Liberal Democrat colleagues who'd

0:51:48 > 0:51:51accused him of sexual harassment.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54In a letter to the party leadership, the former peer, who the

0:51:54 > 0:51:56Lib Dems suspended in January, said he now wanted

0:51:56 > 0:52:00closure on a matter that's been in the public domain for 15 months.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Lord Rennard said:

0:52:19 > 0:52:22The Lib Dems had been accused of not doing enough.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24Lord Rennard is now back in the party.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28Finally, although it's not necessarily sexist,

0:52:28 > 0:52:32we couldn't resist a contribution from George Galloway.

0:52:32 > 0:52:34How would you like me...

0:52:34 > 0:52:35to be the cat?

0:52:35 > 0:52:40Familiar to millions after his star turn on Celebrity Big Brother,

0:52:40 > 0:52:44the former Respect MP publicly supported Julian Assange,

0:52:44 > 0:52:47the founder of WikiLeaks, after he was accused of rape.

0:52:47 > 0:52:48There is nothing wrong with that,

0:52:48 > 0:52:52but it's the way he did it that was a bit, well, odd.

0:52:54 > 0:53:00Woman A met Julian Assange, invited him back to her flat,

0:53:00 > 0:53:06gave him dinner, went to bed with him, had consensual sex with him...

0:53:08 > 0:53:13..claims that she woke up to him having sex with her again.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15I mean, not everybody...

0:53:16 > 0:53:21..needs to be asked prior to each insertion.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23I think I've found my Room 101,

0:53:23 > 0:53:26and it's George Galloway saying the word "insertion"

0:53:26 > 0:53:27over and over again.

0:53:27 > 0:53:30Galloway's videos look terrifying.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32He's got a strange sort of '30s microphone.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34And it's all in black and white.

0:53:34 > 0:53:38That does not look like the output of a well man.

0:53:38 > 0:53:43So there you have it. We've gone from the sexual hunters on the street...

0:53:43 > 0:53:46- Would you sleep with me? - No.- Why not? I'm funny!

0:53:46 > 0:53:49..to the famous broadcasters and their sexist gaffes.

0:53:55 > 0:53:59But who will claim the title Britain's Biggest Sexist?

0:53:59 > 0:54:00Over to our judges.

0:54:01 > 0:54:05For sheer stupidity and self-sabotage, I'm going

0:54:05 > 0:54:08to go with employers who discriminate against pregnant women.

0:54:08 > 0:54:12I've no sympathy with big employers who say that they can't handle

0:54:12 > 0:54:14women going on maternity leave.

0:54:14 > 0:54:17I mean, for God's sake, just get a creche. It's not that difficult.

0:54:17 > 0:54:21We need as a society to be more flexible. Full stop.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23It makes you a better adult to raise children.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25It gives you all these things.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28So actually, being a bit flexible with your employees and

0:54:28 > 0:54:30letting them do that for a couple of years

0:54:30 > 0:54:33and then bringing them back in is good for everyone.

0:54:33 > 0:54:34It's good for your organisation,

0:54:34 > 0:54:36because you have better people working in it.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38I was just really surprised that that still happens.

0:54:38 > 0:54:44I thought everyone was more progressive about it now.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46Things are only going to move

0:54:46 > 0:54:50and change once women are represented equally at the top

0:54:50 > 0:54:52level of all of these fields,

0:54:52 > 0:54:55whether it's movies or business or whatever.

0:54:58 > 0:55:03So, we have a unanimous winner. But did we make the right decision?

0:55:04 > 0:55:06'To help you judge for yourselves,

0:55:06 > 0:55:11'we've collected some of the cases which have now come to light.

0:55:11 > 0:55:12'We're going to share them with you

0:55:12 > 0:55:16'and anyone else who might be listening in Parliament Square.'

0:55:18 > 0:55:22Bella from Enfield had been with her employer for a year.

0:55:22 > 0:55:26When she told them she was pregnant, they sacked her.

0:55:27 > 0:55:29Rose from Derry was five months pregnant

0:55:29 > 0:55:32and had a phone interview and got the job.

0:55:32 > 0:55:36When she met her boss in person, he saw she was pregnant

0:55:36 > 0:55:37and he sacked her.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43Ellie from Birmingham told her employer she was pregnant.

0:55:43 > 0:55:47He began bullying her and shouting at her in front of other people.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49She left after two weeks.

0:55:49 > 0:55:52'Latest figures estimate that over 50,000 women could find

0:55:52 > 0:55:55'themselves in an similar situation across Britain.'

0:55:55 > 0:55:58Janet from Coventry got a call six weeks after

0:55:58 > 0:56:02she went on leave saying she was being made redundant.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04But the job hadn't gone,

0:56:04 > 0:56:07and she was told she could stay if she worked full time.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10But she couldn't, so after years of loyal service...

0:56:10 > 0:56:12Mariella from Canterbury was on maternity leave

0:56:12 > 0:56:13when her employer restructured.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16'If we could collect all their stories and read them out,

0:56:16 > 0:56:18'it would take four and a half days.

0:56:21 > 0:56:24'And no-one's listening now, anyway.'

0:56:24 > 0:56:25Can I stop now?
