Conservative MP Nick Fletcher, best known for being really bad about trying to fake visits to his own constituency, led a Parliamentary debate for International Men's Day. You would think that British officials would use the opportunity to advocate for better mental health support for men, since roughly three quarters of the people who died by suicide in the UK in 2020 were male. Jodie Whittaker being on Doctor Who is the greatest threat facing every single man in Britain today.
In his comments, he mentioned that there is a small but vocal minority that wants every male character or good role model to have a female replacement. The discussion about who will play the next James Bond isn't just James Bond. In the last few years, we have seen Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, and the other movies that were replaced by women.
The Krays and Tommy Shelby are the main characters in the 2015 movie Legend about the criminal Kray twins, and the 2016 drama Peaky Blinders. Is it any wonder that so many young men are committing crime?
I can't believe that all of the fictional men have been snapped, especially the men in Ghostbusters or the one in the movie, which was on TV last year. Some of his peers in the debate were just as incredulous as we were about his correlation. Anneliese Dodd thought she had heard something she didn't, and added that the issues facing men in the UK were far more complex than who should be the next 007. After spending much of yesterday being ridiculed for his comments, he posted a statement on social media that said he did not link Dr Who being female to crime being committed by men. I made a statement that boys and young men need positive role models in the media, just as women do.
Where will they get them? I'm also excited to see who turns up in the TARDIS when Whittaker leaves Doctor Who next year, as well as seeing what crime I can get up to if the future Time Lord is female.
Wondering where our feed went? The new one can be picked up here.
