Tory MP Nick Fletcher blames crime in young men on female Doctor Who

I'm failing to see where exactly he claims that?
It's a bit disingenuous this tweey. Very clickbaity.

Which is a shame because the 'kids bad because of TV/film characters' argument the guy was going for is a historically dumb argument anyway.

Then again blaming that on females being cast on certain shows is admittedly very dumb too.

Agreed with you on the disingenuous tweet and the fallacious TV make kids bad argument he made

However, I think his point in the bolded was that positive male role models were being removed and replaced. Leaving boys with no role models on TV.

While I don't find this to be a credible argument, I must admit, it is an argument used ad nauseum on the left. I mean, the whole 'representation' argument I.e.. "Diversity, Inclusion and Equity" are all partly founded on the principle of representation. And how it's important.

Maybe so, but having an argument of 'no male role models ---> male criminals' is in poor taste and I don't think the 'Diversion, Inclusion, and Equality' arguments are built on the same negative principles. Some are, and I'd probably have similar opinions on those too.
 
My role model is Greg Davies, enjoying his work in his new show The Cleaner so much that I might get a van and dress up as a glorified painter.
