No, it’s sadly true, you see a lot of it online these days, it seems hip in certain circles to look down on women, nice attempt yourself though

Women are the most privileged sex in the Western World, by far.

Literally no-one here expressed such views, so you were addressing no-one x

I didn’t say anyone here had expressed those views? Bit paranoid there, unless stated otherwise, always assume I’m not referencing anyone personally

Gender balance in Comedy writing teams can only be a good thing because it means more different types of humour possibly being represented in Comedies.

[Twosugars]

We have two genders, the default position should be both are represented, simple as.

Men got used to being the privileged gender and some hate making room for women. Sad.
The equality is inevitable and dinosaurs will die out or evolve

Would you put the "need" for representation above the need for a good product?

imo if the best team only has one gender, it should be chosen. If the best team has both genders, that should be chosen. But the gender balance shouldn't be a deciding factor, and I'm yet to hear a reason it should be.

Finally, the race baiter brigade arrive in this debate. What took you so long?

True. The current far right surge is all about that really

[Alf]

True

Because, reasons

I'm so sorry for being born a straight, White man.

Can you ever forgive me for this?

Why do you see equality as an existential threat?
It's not about persecution of straight white males but about giving everybody equal rights

Everybody has equal rights, the law of the land says so.

What are you actually fighting for?

Think about that one, I'm off to watch a film, be back in 2-3 hours.

...she wants comedy collaborations with males and females so that the humour will attract different audiences...to make it more inclusive and more diverse....and not to exclude or have it pigeon holed into a type of humour that she feels would be mainly male oriented....and would possibly restrict the audience...it seems a reasonable mindset tbh and will hopefully produce some good and diverse comedy...as oppose to the ‘one kind of joke’ stuff she feels is being produced atm by all Male comedy teams...


Writer Brona C Titley, who works on Celebability, told the festival: “If you have the same type of writers in terms of race or sexual orientation or gender, then you’re only getting one kind of joke.”

So some men don't want to work with women and the head of itv is the trouble maker?

In 1975 John Cleese and Connie Booth wrote Fawlty Towers together. Nobody complained.

In 1997 Craig Cash and Caroline Aherne wrote The Royle Family together. Nobody complained.

In 2007 James Corden and Ruth Jones wrote Gavin and Stacey together. Nobody complained.

These all happened naturally, and comedy, written and performed by men and women has been happening for almost the entirety of television. nobody was forced into it.

This is just 4th wave feminism in action and nothing else.

You're confusing partnerships with teams. Teams are almost never chosen as a bunch of mates. Never watched the Larry Sanders Show?
