There is far too much criticism of female pundits and presenters and IMO not enough criticism of the men. Some male pundits are truly terrible

Its a bogus argument

Like saying no point having a go at Boris when you are not criticizing Hitler or Ted Heath

You can criticise awful women pundits who have got jobs (and djs like Zoe Ball) who have been put into positions because they are women/attractive and not because they are any good

and you can criticize male ones like John Hartson or Andy Walker

but you dont need to do both always together or make mention of them.

And to say the male ones dont get pelters too is inaccurate as they do, all the time
