Conservative British politician alleges that Doctor Who having a female Doctor is driving boys to commit crimes

The Guardian

Tory MP Nick Fletcher recently railed against females taking over traditionally male roles, saying “there seems to be a call from a tiny yet very vocal minority that every male character or good role model must have a female replacement. One only needs to consider the discussions about who will next play James Bond to see that. And it is not just James Bond: in recent years we have seen Doctor Who, the Ghostbusters, Luke Skywalker and The Equalizer all replaced by women, and men are left with the Krays and Tommy Shelby (a character in the BBC drama Peaky Blinders).” He continued: “Is it any wonder that so many young men are committing crimes? Such programs make crime look cool.”
