Gender bias. I never said there wasn't any, I always said that crying, bitching and wishing death upon every contestant that has a penis on a message board won't solve the problem. Two wrongs don't make a right. Survivor is a primal game where leadership and strenght are looked highly upon, and those two attributes are still more predominently linked to men. Not saying that's a good thing or bad thing, but it is what it is.

I get that people here are happy when they see women succeed. It goes against what society expects and levels the playing field between the two genders. I get that. But demonizing men who do well in the game by calling them lucky and then racists, homophobes, bullies, mysoginists and so on, to me is retarded and just reeks of sour grapes from people who were rooting for women and didn't get their way. If you want women that are strong and dominant, then it sucks but you also have to acknowledge players like Tom, Colby, JT etc. If you truly admire those qualities you also have to admire them in men as well. That's why the public approved of women like Stephenie and Amanda. It had nothing to do with them being alligned with men, it's because the public loves strong physical competitors, and they were. Most of the time strong physical competitors are men, but if they happen to be women, they're just as happy about it maybe even more so.

Now as far as women like Ami, Guatemala Stephenie, Parvati being hated when they are in control. Yes the, were. but you forget that Tina, Kathy, Cirie and Sugar were also in control of their respective seasons and people liked them. Same way people liked Colby, Tom, Yu, JT, etc. but hated Hatch, Cesternino, Fairplay etc. It's a lot more about how they came off as opposed to what's between their legs. So this whole argument that women are not allowed be in control, but it's okay for men, is complete bullshit.
