duck is donny, my aunty used to say hey up duck to everyone,when she dropped on a Donald or a Daffy they got really triggered
Fair enough. I'm not watching either, and given that the majority of presenters are still male, I thought it was his way of painting us a mental picture, so to speak.
No male would ever write: "Have you heard how bad this male presenter is at his job?" when it's a male carrying out duties in a role which is traditionally done by males. It's designed to make people think that the woman is rubbish at her job because she's a woman, even if you haven't heard her (which I haven't). It might be unconscious, but it's there, and that's the sort of thing we all need to be aware of.
I think even if he’d have said ‘this female presenter’ it would have been better. ‘This woman presenter’ just sounds rude.
The word is impediment, not defect. You clearly haven’t struggled with such stigma. Don’t add prejudice to your blatant misogyny... Nice sh1tstorm you’ve created Mr. Badger.!!
I watched the Dad’s Army film the other week – the 1971 original. Before it started there was a warning that it contained ‘language that some might find offensive’ My missus spotted it – and it was just the once. Any guesses?
you would if there was a male and female presenter and you did not know their names, Alex Jones on the one show as a voice that could grate cheese, I say Alex Jones gets on my nerves on One show, but if I did not know her name then it would be that woman presenter on One show gets on my nerves
Good point. It could have been fuzzy wuzzys. My missus reckons it was a scene where Mainwaring calls Walker a 'nancy boy.'
In that case I’d say ‘the female presenter’ not ‘that woman presenter’. The first one identifies who you are referring to without seeming like you are putting her down because of her gender.
Opening titles? Singing, if you think old England’s done. No mention of Scotland and the Scots who fought. So totally racist. sorry I just could not help adding fuel to the fire.
