Nick Fletcher & Dr Who

Is this not a thread on this already? Sorry if I've missed it.

MP Nick Fletcher declares (more or less) that Dr. Who being played by a Woman is the reason why young Men are committing crime. Because of the apparent lack of male role models.

I sort of see what his ill-thought through message is about in needing more Male teachers, positive masculinity and whatnot, but really What The Actual Fuck? Confused

I agree with him...I'm a woman and tbh in tired of men being demeaned and devalued in our society. Let's celebrate the differences between men and women!

He is a numpty.

Whatever happened to the father as the role model of masculinity?

As for more male teachers, if the pay was jacked up, schools would have to fend them off with a shitty stick.

No shortage of men in top roles in primary schools:

Or secondary:

Well that explains why there was no male crime until JW was Dr Who. Oh no hang on a minute. Hmm

Surely this surge in male crime because of Ghostbusters being chicks will be offset by all the girls no longer out on the rob and smashing things up because they’ve finally got some decent on-screen role models?

The very thought of Bond being a woman is enough to drive men to crime, apparently. Gosh.

Well I was thinking that @CiaoForDiNiaoSaur.

The Queen's Coronation was 1953. Suddenly a simple Woman was head of state after decades of a Man occupying the role. What a kick in the teeth for young Men. It was probably what started the Krays off to be honest. The timing lines right up HmmHmmWink

Grin I hope the Queen realises what she's done Shock

Tbh the doctor isn’t the greatest role model though, that Donna spider episode sees all the babies dye and he wasn’t going to save anyone in Pompeii either… maybe the doctor is to blame for crime Shock
