Sam: Chelsea's New Resident Sexist

So I was just watching series 7 of Made in Chelsea (i can feel your judging eyes. give me time.) and a thought suddenly struck me: who the fuck does Sam think he is?!

Now bare with me- for those of you (wise, intelligent, strong people who i bow down before) who don't watch made in chelsea, Sam is this little twerp who is only in the programme because his big sister is princess Louise, who had a, shall we say, rocky relationship with Spencer Matthews, who can't keep it in his pants. So Sam is only there because Spencer has the horn. basically.

This is Sam:

He even looks annoying! But that is beside the point. 

The fact is that over the last few episodes i have become increasingly aware that Sam really does believe that if he sleeps with a woman, she becomes his property. This delusional fool seems to think that if he has slept with one of chelsea's lovely ladies, then aforementioned lady can't sleep with any one else and, while i am aware that Made In Chelsea is designed to milk every (fake) situation for as much drama as possible, i think this says something important about how we as a society think about women's sexuality. 

Firstly, Sam only ever seems to be angry with the guys that sleep with his exes. I mean, i don't want him to be angry with the girl- although i think that would make entertaining viewing, but i do think he appears to feel as if these other men have taken his property without permission. News flash: They may seem mutant to you, but these girls really aren't the same as that ninja turtle ruler that bad old Spenny took from your pencil case in year 2... ("i don't like people taking my things" said Sam to Stevie, who wanted to dance with his ex-girlfriend.) Grow up. If he really has a problem with the situation, he should try approaching the girl herself and saying how he feels rather than just grumbling in the corner and assuming that she can't communicate- they are not inanimate objects; it is just you hanging on them that makes them all go into premature rigamortis, it isn't their natural state.

Secondly, why does he have a problem? It is not for him to dictate someone else's love (or lust) life. Did he really expect all of his ex-girlfriends to mourn the end of their relationship for eternity and remain celibate for the remainder of their lives? Come on.  Women are not commodities- you can't put a stamp on them saying 'property of Sam'. They are just as entitled to a sex life as you are and, luckily for them, it doesn't have to involve you because.. eww...

Thirdly, "if i wanted to get her back, i'd probably get her back anyway". Lol. no.

Finally, i know that this is just a characteristic of the show and that the whole of this fantasy Chelsea are really perpetrators of this crime BUT sam is going to take the brunt of my abuse. STOP DISCUSSING IT, YOU IDIOT. No one cares that you have pulled a couple of blonde chicks and now someone else has pulled them away from you... or whatever you think has happened... WE, the viewers, are all too absorbed in the Binky/Alex drama to be busying ourselves with listening to you moan. 

sub point: throwing a drink in Spencer's face? really? soooo predictable.

So basically: shut up, Sam.
