Australia: "Family Feud" show under fire for sexist questions

[davidn3600]

Network Ten has apologised for two questions on game show Family Feud, saying they were "ill-advised" and should not have been included.

--

During an episode broadcast on Wednesday night, host Grant Denyer asked contestants to "name something people think is a woman's job"*, after asking the same about "a man's job".

The game show's format pits two families against each to other name the top eight most popular responses to survey questions posed to 100 Australians.

The correct answers to the question on Wednesday night's episode included cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, nursing, doing the dishes, hairdressing and domestic duties.

Viewers reacted angrily on social media, with many branding the show "misogynistic".

"It is not a woman's job to do the dishes or clean or do the domestic duties in general," one said. "Women can do whatever the f--- they want, not just what they've been told to do throughout history."

1. I don't think some people understand how that show works.

The show conducts polls, and then asks the contestants to guess how the polls were answered.

4. Horny, sexy, cuddly, cutie, dopey, drowsy, sleepy, doc, ... tick-tock, dawn.

5. Sometimes the answers in the final round are even better.

"Name an animal with three letters in its name." First guy gets up there and stumbles and finally comes up with "frog".
If that's not bad enough, when the second guy gets up there and gets the same question he very confidently says "alligator".
