David Tennant seemingly hates women

[Loveaghost]

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.

Women and girls just want to live and be left alone too, but he doesn't seem too concerned about them, and seems to enjoy making derogatory comments about them when they do try to assert their rights and protections.

Yes, I think that's it.

Though my guess is he'd concede the women who agree with him or at least are too scared to argue are people. It's the inconvenient ones who don't want males of any kind in spaces where we're vulnerable that he has a problem with.

The irony - "let people be". How many children and teens have been pushed down the trans path when they've been struggling with something or other, but no questions were asked about something or other it was just 'transitioning is the answer!', the actual problem, or just general teenage life, being irrelevant.

I'm not saying that is the case with the Tennant child but it certainly is with many children who could well have grown out of what was bothering them had they been allowed to be or had the appropriate help.

Why do TRAs seem to think it is so impossible to both understand the people you call "cismen" can pose a significant threat to women at the population level and believe being a woman is a physical fact of the body not a mental one?

Why does it have to be one or the other with you people? It's weird. They aren't mutually exclusive or anything. We don't think so-called "cismen" are all safe just because we don't agree TWAW. The two aren't really connected other than TW and CM both being types of men.

He said females including rape survivors like me don't deserve female only spaces.

That vulnerable women and girls are 'whingy little fuckers'.

That feminists like Kemi should no longer exist any more.

His hatred of women seeps out of every single pore.

What about when he said this, @Loveaghost (this quoted from @ElenOfTheWays’ post):

”Ah. That must be why he called (potentially traumatised) women who don't want men in their single sex toilets, changing rooms, prisons and rape shelters "whinging little fuckers on the wrong side of history"
And hoped that they'd all be dead soon anyway”

As an actor, Tennant is brilliant. He was absolutely perfect as Crowley in GO and he's been extremely good in everything I've seen him in, including as Tony Baddingham in Rivals. I try very hard to separate the art from the artist there.

But his attitude towards women's rights sucks. I guess it's an unfortunate combination of having a trans/NB child, being in luvvie circles where progressivism is the order of the day (and certainly gets lauded), and this just not being something that applies to him. A lot of men can't understand why women mind so vociferously, because it's outside of their sphere of experience. Even when you explain, a lot just don't get that life can be very different for women as it is for men.

I've never met him, maybe he's just an arse. Still a good actor, mind. (As an aside, I watched the third 'series' (well, episode) of GO with trepidation as I'd heard it wasn't that good. The storyline was weak but Azeraphele and Crowley were as good as ever and I was touched by the ending.)

Basic human kindness? Women have been there, got the t-shirt and still bear the scars when it comes to trans folk. That sort of "be kind" can get stuffed.

Time for all males (including, obviously, all those in dresses and make-up) to step-up and be kind to females. Easily done - stay out of our spaces, our sport etc. Respect the biological fact that sex matters. And no, it is not complicated. It is pretty damn basic.

I remember thst, he was terrifying. Claire Goose played his wife. Good ending as I recall

Agreed.completely.

As an aside, every time I read that a celebrity or person with a significant media presence has expressed a hope-slash-conviction that us objecting and objectionable women will die soon, I google that individual's age.

Without fail, they're always 15-30 years older than me. Dave included. Odd.

Agree.
I watched 2nd & 3rd of Good Omens, they would have been far better with Terry Pratchett input, as would the 1st series, he is sorely missed.
After enjoying the Stardust film I tried to read Gaiman's book & was disappointed so I suspect TP is the reason the Good Omens book was so 'good'.

My usual sidetrack...as a teen I would have enjoyed seeing the Dragonsinger books brought to life on film but adaptions so often fall short. The Harry Potter films deviate a little from the books but are so visually stunning. Excellent casting too, which helps (including Tennant 😶), though so many of the actors in it are no longer with us.

David Tennant is 55

Kemi B is 46 so younger, JKR is 60, so only 5 years older than him. Maya Forstater is 52, so younger. Helen Joyce is 58 so only 3 years older. If these women are old and irrelevant his views are too, aren’t they?

He really does just have the one note, with accents. Such a predictable screen presence.

Has he wished oblivion on any males?

He doesn't get it because his daughters, should they need to go to hospital will be in a private ward, no biological men in the next bed. Highly unlikely his daughters will need a refuge or women only homeless shelter. Highly unlikely his daughters will go to prison. Luvvies like Tennant just don't recognise their own privilege.

You mean saying things like: "you're a man" or 'humans can't change sex" or even "use the gents"? Stuff like that?
Men are actually far more likely to say nasty and "dehumanising" things about trans identified men but DT has nothing to say about them for some reason. Very odd. What COULD be the reason for that?

That's the stupidest remark I've read on here for a while, and there's some pretty stiff competition.

Well exactly. No other justification should be needed.

Interspersed with chewing the scenery and gurning maniacally

"A few words in an interview"?
Try reading the thread.

He's not even a "true believer" as evidenced by his constant insistence that it's his WIFE who is behind all his rhetoric on this subject. SHE taught him all about it apparently.

He's giving her "credit" now with an eye to shifting the blame when the wheels inevitably come off. Because he knows that day is coming for him.
We see you Tennant.

Read the book.
And women deserve decent human kindness and an understanding why they don't want men - and mentally ill men in frocks are still men, see the law - in their spaces. Tennant's a mysogynist twit.

I liked the book and even quite enjoyed the adaptation although I still think Aiden Turner would have made a much better Crowley than Tennant who was too old and just doesn't pull off "sinister" very well.

To me it's pretty clear what he meant by that. The "TERFS will all die put soon anyway" rhetoric is pretty standard TRA stuff. When they aren't threatening to hasten our ends anyway

The stark difference between the original GO and the 2nd/3rd series really showed how much Pratchett's genius was behind it. I've never read any Gaiman (other than Norse Gods, which I really enjoyed) but I love the Discworld and Pratchett had such an enormous talent for finding the brilliant ridiculousness of things.

I did like the 'angels through the ages' insert in the Amazon adaptation though, I thought that was very clever. Unless that was based on material that didn't make the book, that can't have had Terry's input.

The HP films were brilliantly done (and DT was good in that too) but it must have been hard to condense them down into a 2 hour-or-so film - too hard for the last book, which became two films. V much looking forward to the HBO series!

Standard misogyny. Men's opinions become more worthy of consideration with age, because age connotes wisdom (in men).

Women's opinions become less worthy of consideration with age because age connotes irrelevance (in women).
