They've put blokes in to run all the countries, all major financial institutions and - worst of all - all the comedy shows.

It's a bit much.

hahaha SGB.

I think that should be the new line in the feminist section. "Men are discriminated against too! And if you don't believe me I'll tell my, er, mummy."

but lassie is scottish for female.a burd dog maybe

SolidGoldBrass · 25/07/2010 01:36

If you object to Lassie being portrayed by a male dog you are being transfeministactivistphobic and I am going to stamp my foot and tell my, er, mummy. It's hard to be sure what with all the bandages though.

I don't make shit up, I looked on Wikipedia!

antoinettechigur · 24/07/2010 23:03

Do we need to stick with dogs?

Flipper's real name was Sarah, you know.

Habbibu · 24/07/2010 22:43

In Woof? Woof? Now you're just making things up. She was no mafia don, that's for sure.

wastingaway · 24/07/2010 22:41

She was also the original dog in Woof. I'm sure I remember her being on Blue Peter and stuff like that. She was like the ultimate trained dog or something.

Habbibu · 24/07/2010 22:33

Hmm. I think that's stretching my definition of famous.

wastingaway · 24/07/2010 22:31

Pippin the famous trained dog.

She's on Come Outside on Cbeebies. It's an early 90s show I think.

Habbibu · 24/07/2010 22:28

Who's Pippin? Pippin is a boy's name. Pah.

wastingaway · 24/07/2010 22:26

Pippin's a girl.

Habbibu · 24/07/2010 22:21

Yes, but all famous dogs are male, aren't they? Except Petra from blue peter. She's like a mafia matriarch.

TiggyD · 24/07/2010 22:19

The makers of Scooby Doo have actually apologised for Scrappy Doo due to him being so unpopular and annoying. Daphne and Velma do pretty well in the show. The male characters are a cowardly dog, a pot-head and a gay fellow.

Habbibu · 24/07/2010 20:59

It's true - scooby doo, scrappy doo, rebel (Champion the wonder horse), snoopy, the littlest hobo. All male. Not a bitch to be seen.

antoinettechigur · 24/07/2010 17:26

lol

anyway lassie was a male dog taking a female dog's role. we need different role models if mascots are going to break through the glass ceiling.

BelleDameSansMerci · 24/07/2010 17:21

Elephants are running the mafia?

antoinettechigur · 24/07/2010 17:12

elephants

Habbibu · 23/07/2010 17:02

I believe they've got men running the Mafia too.

Can we have an animal mascot? "What's that lassie? Jeremy Vine is being a sexist wanker in the old abandoned mine?"
