On the general topic of gender, I found the following contention to be embarrassingly expressed:
A Tory MP has linked young men turning to crime to women playing traditionally male roles in TV and film.
Nick Fletcher said "female replacements" in shows like Doctor Who were robbing boys of good role models.
The only characters they had to look up to were gangsters the Krays and Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders, he said.
"Is there any wonder we are seeing so many young men committing crime?," he asked MPs taking part in a debate on International Men's Day.

For a start, although I don't know what Doctor Who is a doctor of, I'm reading that in England women make up 48% of all licenced doctors.
In which case, a female Doctor Who seems fair enough! (I assume there are females on the Doctor's home planet, in the Doctor's 'race'?) And isn't the Doctor an alien life form that has regenerated many times with the next iteration always randomly unknowable?
N.B. There's some amusing comments about it on Twitter!

It's been terrible watching the boys turn criminal for the past couple of years.
I was a one woman crime wave until Jodie came along. Obviously gave it up when a female role model materialised.
Just waiting for the good Doctor to grow a pair of 'Nads, and the lads can step back again while I pursue my goal of a lair under a volcano and a white cat.

Say what?! ...
Jeffrey Epstein was a ‘21st-century James Bond’ targeted for his mystery and money, Ghislaine Maxwell defence says
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1966427.html
Between the nonsense of Nick Fletcher MP and Maxwell's defence team, poor 007's reputation is up for ridicule!
I imagine that if Epstein is to be readily likened to anyone in the Bond universe it'd be Blofeld complete with his private island where networks of evil are perpetrated and plotted.
In the Indy link's embedded video, Ghislaine's brother is chipping in with his thoughts - for anyone still curious on how her name is pronounced.

If 2 of the opposition were sent off and they were awarded 5 penalties then maybe, or maybe not.
