I've seen a lot of people saying about Farther Christmas being sexist and that Santa should not have a sex what does everyone think about this. - Kate x

Its not sexist, any more than 'mother nature' is sexist. And at least mother nature is a real thing.

What's your view, Kate?

I live in a Grinch-like bubble until the actual day, so thankfully have seen no chatter on Farther or Nearer or, indeed, Mother or Father Christmas.

Thank fuck.

I prefer Santa Paws [santa]

I read that as father Christmas shouldn't have sex.

A agree. No shagging for Santa.

Which people have you seen saying this exactly, ’Kate’?

I really love your NN IntentsAndPorpoises

I'm also outraged, outraged I tell you, that the journalist OP is discriminating against childless festive figures. Why does Santa have to be a parent at all?

Just trying to spark conversation if that's okay!

I kind of like it that we have an archetypal bloke scurrying round trying to organise Christmas on behalf of everyone else.

I'm not impressed by a Farther Christmas. I think they should have a Nearer Christmas.

Where have you seen a lot of this? Why not do some proper research for your article.
