David Tennant seemingly hates women

Just seen David Tennant on The Assembly. Might be a repeat not sure. Flabbergasted that in response to a question about supporting transwomen in women’s spaces he said people need to ‘stop the hatred’, step aside and ‘let people just be.’ (Imagine that being said in his over the top faux ‘man of the people’ manner.)

He was then asked a question about making Good Omen’s 3 when Neil Gaiman has been ‘cancelled’ due to the light issues of being accused of Sex trafficking and rape of women. Here, he simply said he couldn’t ’leave people on a cliffhanger’ and moved on.

So, he’s happy to literally line the pockets of (very alleged) male rapists whilst at the same time arguing women not letting men in their spaces is hatred.

Fuck David Tennant.

As far as I'm concerned, the story of Crowley and Aziraphale ends with them sitting at a table in the Ritz, having just stopped the Apocalypse. There is no second or third series, just as there aren't any Metallica albums after Master Of Puppets.

Absolutely right. Terry Pratchett was the genius who made Good Omens so excellent, Gaiman just hitched his wagon. Any parts 2 and 3 are a load of old bollocks.

And Tennant is a misogynistic arse. Always has been. A great shame he was cast as Crowley imo.

He's such an odious man with a very nasty misogynistic streak. His comments towards women over the years has made me now dislike any characters he plays to the point I cannot watch.

He wasn’t telling them to go, he was saying they would, right? Where do you think he thought they would go? If Tennant told me to go anywhere I’d tell him to fuck off. But you know and I know that “they’ll be gone soon” is referring to his idea that anyone objecting is old and will die soon. Which is false, but he’s a misogynistic dick. And yes I do think he’s a good actor, but he’s still a misogynistic dick.

This was my interpretation of his words as well. Also, when he saying he wished to be in a world where Kemi Badenoch didn’t exist, there was a very long pause filled with cheers before he said, ‘I don’t wish ill of her I just wish she would shut up. I think it is clear what his intent is, especially coupled with the ‘whinging little fuckers comment.

i quite like referring to myself as a whinging little fucker though.

I look at it like this.

Transwomen and gay men have the similar threat profiles when using the male facilities i.e. the men that target transwomen are the men that target gay men. Transwomen might be slightly more at risk because of their possible loss of strength - but the reasearch regarding that is such poor quality that it could range from 10-30% loss which still makes them significantly stronger than women.

Gay men are very unlikely to be a risk to women. In fact I would argue that gay men pose less of a risk to women in single sex spaces than a lot of transvestite-cross dressing type of transwomen.

I would still feel unsafe if a man that I knew was gay came into the female single sex space. I would still consider it harassment even if it was for a valid purpose. I am sure that gay men would feel uncomfortable going into the female single sex space as well.

David Tenant is an excellent actor- its just such a shame that he can't see that it doesn't make him any type of political guru.

I think he has a they/them child, so that is why he has said what he did. Not condoning it, just saying why he is very strong on trans issues.

Yes, if he (and his wife) understood the difference between sex & gender, and why this is an issue they wouldn’t have a ‘they/them’ because they would’ve told their son that he’s a boy and growing his hair and changing his pronouns don’t alter the fact that he’s male.

Yes, he's a misogynistic dick, much as I'm enjoying his performance as Lord Baddingham.

It's framing anybody who objects to the attack on women's rights and the misogyny of TRA demands as old and irrelevant. He dismisses women's concerns and rights as worthless.

It's snide, arrogant, ageist and misogynist, as well as being plain wrong - plenty of younger women want to preserve their rights and are not suffering internalised misogyny.

OMG. We aren't even speaking the same language. Not sure if you don't understand your inconsistencies in terms of applying your principle or won't acknowledge them. Either way, it's no wonder rational people won't debate GC's.

No males in female spaces. No...matter....what.

You cannot 'debate' us because your inconsistencies and desperation to micro-decrease groups falls apart.

That is why you lot all run away. You have NO argument for NO...MALES... in female...spaces.

Your whataboutery and goalpost shifting completely falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. Which is why you you cannot refute out points.

MALE vs FEMALE. You have absolutely no argument against that.

PriOn1 · 25/06/2026 09:59

With regard to the OP and Tennant, if those comments were all he’d ever said, he might deserve the benefit of doubt. As it is, the “Whinging little fuckers,” statement leaves no room for doubt at all. That is a comment from someone who despises women like those here. It would be hard to come up with a more disdainful form of name calling, in a world where name calling is, in itself, an offensive and weak action for anyone.

HoppityBun · 25/06/2026 09:57

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/06/2026 09:54

Where do you think he meant they’d go?

If you e.g. tell someone who’s bothering you, or a cat or similar to go away, shove off or get knotted, you’re not telling them to die, nor do you care where they go, so long as it’s a long way off.

BunfightBetty · 25/06/2026 09:14

We restrict women's single sex spaces to women. All women are allowed in. No men are. Because they're women's spaces, not men's.

That's it.

Wanging on about irrelevant issues and trying to shoehorn in data that isn't relevant doesn't fool anybody and just makes you look like a self-serving dimwit.

No males in the ladies.

That's all you need to know and abide by.

This.

All males are potential predators and sexual deviants. 99% of sexual assaults and more than 80% of violent offences are carried out by males. That risk does not change if somebody has an internal sense they are not the sex they actually are.

Women’s single sex spaces and competitions came into being for good reason. Those reasons have not changed, because male violence is still a huge problem in society.

Evidence and risk management are not hate.

All males stay out of women’s spaces. It’s the law. And it’s based on data.

Don’t like the precautions we have to take to reduce the risk of male violence? Stop doing it then.

Women are not actually second class citizens, despite the concerted attempt to take away our rights.

👏👏👏

He did not say they will all be dead soon, he said they’ll all go away soon. And in respect of Kemi Badenoch, he said “However until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist anymore — I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up — whilst we do live in this world I am honored to receive this.”

Didn't Gaiman use his friendship with Tennant to exhort nude photos from a vulnerable woman? He said he'd give her Tennant's hotel room number if she sent him the pics? It was a while ago so I'm slightly hazy.

Personally I think it's disgusting that Tennant is so breezy about three different mates who have had accusations of rape or sleaze, while he gets angry to the point of wishing women didn't exist simply for wanting our legal right to single sex spaces.

Yes ISTR that’s one of the claims made by women.

He was talking to a trans person with learning difficulties.

Yes. This was a bizarre example to bring up in the OP.

Limoncellospritzz · 25/06/2026 09:06

You are being inconsistent unless you restrict access to all increased risk groups which you won't so save the hypocritical justification.

Keeping males out of women’s spaces is an entirely consistent stance.

We have sex segregated spaces, which is based on a long-held societal understanding of the risk between two groups of humans.

You are the one who wants to justify changing the groups, therefore it’s up to you to justify why the group of men you are championing should gain the privilege of moving spaces.

No other risk groupings have been taken into consideration, so throwing them randomly into the debate, as you are attempting to do, is irrelevant.

And if you think you can compare this to racial segregation, think again. The campaign to remove racial segregation was a campaign to remove that segregation. The current campaign is not to remove segregation, rather it’s an attempt to change the terms of that segregation, giving some people the special privilege of using opposite sex spaces, regardless of the negative effects on those who need them most, in this case, women.

The equivalent would have been white people claiming they were black and insisting that they must be given access to black peoples spaces, even though black people objected that this would make them feel unsafe.

Or “rational”.

The principle is no males in female spaces.

The fact you’re struggling to grasp that is a you problem.

No there are two groups in society. Male, and female.

We restrict males from females. No matter the identity, sexuality or circumstance.

That, is consistent.

You want to decrease into tinier and tinier and tinier sub risk groups to justify your inconsistency, hypocrisy and goalpost shifting.

ALL MALES are restricted from FEMALES.

It's that simple and consistent.

Edited

This makes sense.

Any biological males, no matter whether they identify as 'women', or anything else, should NEVER be in women's spaces.

Any man or person who says that is vile.

And hoped that they'd all be dead soon anyway"

Disgusting man.

Your anger and hatred of women is leading to irrational thinking. You are driven to knee jerk respones but sadly they only show up the paucity of your argument. The harder you try, the fewer you convince.

I pity you. It must be hard to live with such hatred and denial.

Until soneone can give a coherent, from first principles case for why transwomen are the same as people of female body, there is no basis to lump them in with people of female body than male.

And no one will ever be able to make that case because transwomen will always be people of male body rather than female.

The only way you get what you want is by dehumsnising, objectifying, reducing and disempowering female people. By denying our own knowledge of our own lives.

Yes, it's the same old sexism. We, the female people on the end of it as we always have been see it clearly even if you cannot.

None of this screed substantively addresses anything I said…..probably because you can't.
