Ricky Gervais has some interesting views on people's rights to be offended. And on other people's rights to completely ignore them.

It depends I guess whether you think sexist remarks are ok? I don’t!

I’m afraid I don’t watch much reality TV, and I’m hoping your not referring to IM a Celeb, where Hayes, the boxer, was extremely unpleasant about that woman from the reality program about Essex, which make all of us living here look like rich bimbos?

I saw a clip, it was awful!

I was watching a reality programme over the weekend and one of the contestants made an unintentional sexist remark, which made me roll my eyes but was nothing too bad just a clumsy way of expressing himself.
Some of the other contestants were laughing at him because of it and rolling their eyes but one kept shouting out, “You can’t say that! You can’t say that!” over and over , which grated on me at the time.
My thoughts are, yes, he should be able to say “that”, we can vocally disagree with him and otherwise disapprove of what he said, but surely, he is allowed to actually speak, as long as it’s not illegal in any way.
