About Role Models


After salesmen Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) trash a company truck, the court gives them a choice: jail time or community service in a mentoring program. Thinking to take the easy way out, the two overgrown adolescents find themselves paired with a teenager (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who is experiencing the pangs of first love, and a foul-mouthed fifth-grader (Bobb'e J. Thompson), who needs an attitude adjustment.

Female Dr Who robs boys of role models, claims Tory MP

Jul 13,2023 10:20 pm

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 Dr Who were robbing boys of positive 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 told MPs taking part in a debate on International Men's Day.

His comments were met with surprise by Labour Party chair Anneliese Dodds , Who Said she thought she had " misheard" him.

The Reason boys turned to A Life of crime was " far more complex" than " who should be The Next 007" she added.

The Westminster Hall debate, led by Mr Fletcher, discussed numerous issues facing men, especially attainment in school and The Ability to discuss Mental Health problems.

Mr Fletcher also listed some statistics, including the fact male suicide rates are Three Times higher than women and that 96% of people in prison are men and boys.

He Said There had been a " creeping narrative that males have it easy, life is a breeze and they have nothing to complain about".

But, he added: " It is clear that life is tough for many men and young boys, and many of Our Boys in schools are far from privileged. "

He attacked the phrase " toxic masculinity" - used to describe the pressure on men to stick to traditional views of how they should Act - Saying it " vilified" men and led them to feeling " worthless".

And Then he turned to the " cultural sphere" claiming it shared the blame for rises in Male Violence .

'Men are left with The Krays '

Mr Fletcher said: " Everywhere . . There seems to be a call from a tiny, but very vocal, minority that every male character or good Role Model must have a female replacement.

" One only needs to look at the discussion around who will play The Next James Bond . "

But He Said it went further than 007, adding: " In recent years we have seen Doctor Who , Ghostbusters, Luke Skywalker , the Equaliser, all replaced by women, and men are left with The Krays and Tommy Shelby.

" Is There any wonder We Are seeing so many Young Men committing crime? "

The SNP's Gavin Newlands said he thought the reboot of The Equaliser - a role played by Denzel Washington , but more recently taken on by Queen Latifah - was " positive".

Speaking in The Debate , he criticised the concept of International Men's Day altogether, calling it " a rather cruel joke concocted in response to feminism, women's rights and International Women's Day".

Mr Fletcher challenged him, Saying the government should be helping men be " proud to be men" rather than feeling " awful" about their gender.

But while Mr Newlands said he had sympathy with the viewpoint, he added that first, " we need men in general to take responsibility for what men have done and continue to do" - including making misogynistic comments or committing violence against women.

International Men's Day began is celebrated on 19 November in More Than 60 countries, according to the organisers.

In the UK, There are debates and get-togethers held across the country.

The idea is to promote male Role Models , increase awareness of men's health issues, improve gender Equality and highlight discrimination.

International Women's Day is celebrated around The World on 8 March, with events and demonstrations aimed at promoting women's Equality .
