Appalling, really. Seems almost a conspiracy to make us males look bad. Why doesn't anyone do something about this?

"Must monsters always be male? Huge gender bias revealed in children’s books

A thieving duck in Peppa Pig is one of the few female villains in the 100 most popular picture books. An Observer study shows that, from hares to bears, females are mostly sidekicks"

Stupid article. It reads "It is preparing children to see male dominance as normal" as if that's a bad thing. Duh! Male dominance is normal. That's something that all the world's major religions agree on. And look what happens to the UK when you put a female Prime Minister in charge (Thatcher, May). Disaster.

me: As the UK now has a Hindu prime Minister what happens to the Roast Beef of Old England at formal occasions. The cat will be replaced with a sacred cow roaming the halls of number 10d doing number 10s freely. Oct 26, 2022 15:24:10 GMT 7
