    Justin Bieber came up on Paper 1 comprehension. Yet another question aimed at girls.

    FFS, at least they didn't ask if you found him attractive :L

    1. Search Twitter for "Justin bieber Irish"
    2. Read tweets.
    "Omg Justin Bieber only question I answered perfectly"
    (Variations of above)
    3. See gender of positive tweets over gender of negative tweets

    4. Question is sexist.

    I thought it was a great question, and I'm a guy because we did it in the Mocks and we know his story in English, he got discovered off YT etc. etc.

    I was doing an Exam Paper last night on Star Wars and didnt understand a word, just quoted for my answers, for this I actually knew the the answers.

    I think we should count ourselves lucky we got such an easy one!

    You're an idiot, learn the definition of sexist.

    You're an idiot, learn the definition of sexist.
    1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women
    2 : behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex
    — sex·ist \ˈsek-sist\ adjective or noun

    Make up your own mind so.

    Idiot = derogatory term.

    I couldn't have said it any better myself, I was so delighted when I turned the page after the listening comprehension and saw a question on Justin Bieber. As a matter of fact, I think that's the first time in my life that I was glad to see him! :D

    The SEC just think of things young people like.
    Don't think many girls like star wars or giovanni trapattoni(OL today) now do they ?
