  TBF that was as much Jonathon Ross's fault.

  Poor girl.

  It's shocking to think how culturally accepted and mainstream misogyny was at the time.

    I think that saga is probably an example of a level of misogyny that wasn't acceptable. There was absolute outrage about it at the time, it became a pretty huge scandal. I agree that misogyny was far too culturally acceptable and mainstream at the time (and still is in some areas) but that is one instance where it certainly wasn't brushed aside.
