Yeah not disputing that. I was just referring to this specific situation. Which specifically referred to women.
I think your bias is showing as the problem is 94% of the journos killed are men. This suggest that there is a problem with male journos being killed. The way the un framed makes no sense unless you subscribe to feminism without analyzing the information given. Out of every 100 journalist killed 6 are women 94 are men yet they tweet said stop killing women. How about just saying stop killing journalist as there seem to be a bigger issue with male ones being offed rather than putting a statistic out that makes you look like a tone deaf moron

Anyone ever heard of āUN Womenā before reading that tweet?
Basically, thereās no reason anyone should give a fuck about this tweet.
No one saw that trust me

No one saw what?
I dunno. Suggests to me there are more male journalists than female. So the odds will swerve that way.

Yep thatās a pretty obvious oversight here.
Itās a factual observation on my part too. I have worked for all the major media outlets.

I have, a year a two ago they found it difficult to define what a woman was 
Please donāt reveal any more of whatās on your twitter timeline 
This is a really tough watch but it was worth it.
I was a little embarrassed as a MOT that Baddiel specifically mentioned the fact it was only after he got abused for being Jewish that he realized how bad it was.
I do want to check out his documentary on anti-Semitism too.

I was sent a rather unfavourable take on Baddiel just yesterday
Jason Lee seems like a good bloke, like heās being very fair to David Baddiel.
Iāll watch that video youāve shared when I get a chance across the next few days Josh, to get a better sense of things than this thread alone would provide (though this is far from the first thing Iāve heard/read about Baddiel and Lee)

There was always an arrogance and aloofness about him and very little humility that I found hard to take too.
Maybe you can be cynical that he done the interview on behalf of his documentary, but tbf I would give him the benefit of the doubt as he clearly looks distressed here.
Itās a good watch this though and credit to Lee for highlighting the need for these conversations too be had.
Labeling isnāt taking the conversation anywhere.

He should look distressed! He deliberately racially abused someone for his own amusement.
And then didnāt apologise until he had no choice.

I think heās being really fair.
Not to spoil the interview but thereās one portion where Baddiel explains how hard it was convincing clubs to support Kick It Out and acknowledge there was an issue with anti-Semitism and Lee jumps to the obvious answer which is if youāre the guy fronting the campaign maybe youāre the wrong messenger even if the message is worthwhile. Baddielās huffy denial was pretty telling.
Itās absolutely insane to me though that the BBC, which has a reputation over here of being extremely professional, signed off on a man doing blackface in the last 80 years or so. Everybody knows you canāt do that except maybe those people who defend wearing blackface for that Dutch Christmas thing which I mean, come on guys, get your shit together.

Not insane to me. Hollywood went through a period in the 80ās where blacking up was the new form of comedy.
Even a cult classic like Trading Places, has to now come with a disclaimer.

That scene was played as testimony in some congressional hearing about regulation to prevent insider trading
