Why does it have to be all about looks? Because apart from youth, that’s the main bit of being a toyboy.I’d like to hear your definition of toyboy, in that case. Toyboy : a younger, handsome, well-built, not terribly bright lover.
No
não
Who cares?
Maybe have a gender neutral description.. gold digger? It's works for the opposite genders.
No it isn't...heck why the fuck are people talking about this....there are more severe issues like kids being killed in syria. Didn't expect this from guardian....🤯🤬
The excruciating minutiae of scrutinizing others for the sake of what exactly?
Short answer: yes.
Although its sexist, but men are big-hearted they don't mind it 😜
Sexist? No. Daft? Yes.
Won’t somebody please spare a thought for the poor toy boys!
Yes
Technically yes
the fact that humans are focused on this means they have to much time on their hands
The just like each other. They'll fit for a while. Maybe even something lasting. Toyboy is just a laugh. She uses it with affection and they both laugh. This works both ways. Cept there's gotta be outrage and epithets the other way about. It's the times, I'm afraid.
It is as sexist as to call a brilliant, fit, younger, female mistress a toygirl!
First world dilemma
Yes it is. And it is demeaning to the woman in the relationship as well. If we were to start counting the number of men in their 50s and 60s (in the public eye) with much younger partners, we would get bored once we got into the hundreds probably.
yes he is a toyboy, it will not last and don't shout foul
No, probably not. What is sexist is the different responses one generally gets, depending if the subject is male or female. Apparently, people think it's ok to sexualize men, but not women. So it's not the phrase that is sexist, but people's response to it is.
Don't you have better things to do? The world is burning, dictators rule once-democracies and newspapers beg for spare change.
Men do it all the time, and don't call their younger partners toygirls, simply girlfriends or wives
No
pretty disgusting term
Here's a picture of a zebra.
It's not sexist to call a man anything
Anyone else having a shite?
Men all over the world is having serious depression and anxiety because of this.
Keanu called to express his disapproval. Got voicemail.
The old adage that ‘ the older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune’ has obviously been turned on its head. She would be playing Beethoven and he would be churning out an Irish jig!
Yes
It would probably feel a little demeaning to be called that tbh. Toys are disposable.
Only when he is not fit
If it’s sexist to call women ‘girls’ (which we were told was the case), then absolutely.
why not? if he is okay with it.
Is it the ‘80s again?
Hell ye. 15 years in the slammer no less. 😶😏
Probably, but it is definitely time to quit being mean and rude.
Honesty always gets a pass. It's like listening to billburr
On a slightly different note - he doesn’t look that much younger .. but then, Helena Bonham Carter is an extraordinarily beautiful woman ...that’s probably why!
Half her luck
Obviously it is... But then again men usually don't care what they are being called as long as they get to fk with all expenses paid..
Meanwhile in England...
Pretty simple - if people have ask and think deeply if something is sexist, racist or any other ‘ist’ or ‘phobe’ then the answer is a straight up no. Anyone complaining is simply seeking attention or trying to exploit the situation for some kind of gain.
I genuinely don't give a shit.
What's really gross is the word 'lover'. No tolerable human uses that word unironically.
It's actually the opposite. I mean, it looks like men don't have any intention of stop dehumanising women. So women are bringing Equality doing the same they do to us. It's sad, it won't fix anything in the long run, but it's better than keep being the victim all the time.
Positive objectification, perhaps?😆
Men should take to the streets and protest. This is unacceptable
It is OK, but only in your case dear Helena Bonham Carter! CNN
It just sounds silly.
No because we live in a free country. People in the states dont have to agree with someone all the time.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes and it's ignorant.
Priorities people.
Is it sexist to call a brilliant, fit, younger female lover a toygirl?
No
Is it smart to believe in things we can't prove?
No
If there’s no equivalent for the other sex then yes.....
What does it matter? The entire 'arty' set is like looking in through the window of Bedlam anyway.
No . We don’t care
Dehumanizing
I thought it was 'boytoy'?
No
Probably better than being called a gold digger.
Who cares, really? And, if you do, find a more worthy axe to grind!
