Why do the media keep referring to females as 'ladies' (deservedly or not) and (regardless of age) as 'girls' but rarely to males as gentlemen? (A 'lady' is in fact the wife of a 'lord') See also Media Portrayal of Men and Women And why are TV newsreaders and weathermen being phased out and replaced by 'newsgirls' and 'weathergirls'. (Not 'newspersons' or 'weatherpersons' as one might expect, knowing the politically correctness kommissars). And presenters and interviewers too, even voiceovers, feminists are being moved in. Sometimes all we see is women talking to women. And TV studio audiences, usually about 95% women by the looks of it. Perhaps they need to redress the balance by not allowing in women unless accompanied by a man? And, by the way, why is the BBC being run by feminists not by normal people? And why are feminists so often described as 'feisty' (= petulant and aggressive) or 'glamourous' (never been quite sure about that one since many so-called 'glamourous' females are over-madeup to the extent of being quite repulsive - like men in a bad drag act!). I love normal women but these feminists masquerading as normal women are loathsome!  celtish - Just my twopenn'orth  And tell them "If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear" - from The Secret Policeman's Handbook All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing - Edmund Burke Truth is hate to those who hate the truth - Alexandra In times of deceit telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act - George Orwell Last edited by celtish; 14th-September-2007 at 04:34 AM..   | ||||
