It is a myth that Hindus would be safe if Muslims suffered violence. Everyone is unsafe in violence.Yes Muslims would be direct targets, but Hindus wouldn't live in a safe society either. If they want law and order, they will have to insist on it.

Watched another Jodie Whittaker episode of #DoctorWho At this point I don't know why I'm doing it. Should have abandoned it like The Flash.I just find it incredibly insulting to women to portray them like this in the name of representation.

I don't even know why a female doctor was necessary. Countless portrayals of Sherlock Homes or Superman are not women. Adaptations included. What next? Cast a man as wonder woman?It is a fucking male character. This reactive, insecure activism harms more than helps.

The show/fans didn't have an issue with women. Missy was a kickass Master. If a woman doctor was important, a story should have been created.Jodie Whittaker did such a stereotypical, sanctimonious, shoddy job, I feel offended that turning the Doctor into a woman ruined him.

Centuries old Time Lord known for fearlessness, compassion, quirkiness, ethics.... turns into an insecure, inconsistent ordinary woman with dubious ethics and no depth.This is such a hideous portrayal of what feminity brings to heroism I don't get how critics are misogynists.

They have just vomited female and racially diverse regenerations all over half a century of history to add no value whatsoever and in fact, showcase inclusion of women as a liability.And this isn't misogyny. The Fugitive Doctor is black and female and has only got acclaim.

I just don't get this exhibition of social justice. Pushing token women whether deserving or not for no reason other than "why is this character a man?"Write a fucking Jessica Jones. Create a fucking awesome time and space hopping female alien. Exclude men from portraying her!

I mean, is feminism seriously this insecure? That the bar must be lowered till a woman can trip over it into inclusion a fictional male character is a threat to representation?What crap is this?And people wonder why I deny being a feminist BECAUSE I believe in powerful women.

I wasn't even a TV series watcher till this pandemic. Can't imagine what "Whovians" are going through. From the incredible intensity of David Tennant to Jodie Whittaker ... The damage is irreparable.

How do you pronounce the word "Palanquin"?Always stumps me. Familiar with "Palki", I either don't pronounce the "n" or pronounce the "qu" like in queen.Seems it should be more like "palankeen"

Men are thinking the Johnny Depp verdict protects them from false accusations.Actually, it is also more likely that divorces will sue for abuse more, instead of simply wanting out, because women won't want to risk getting Amber Hearded. They will want judgments as insurance.

You're delusional if you think it will stop women from speaking up. To the extent it harms victims, yes, but fierce voices will continue unchanged and take new precautions that will harm men.This judgment harms everyone.

#JohnnyDeppVsAmberHeard trial predictions:1. Immediate: More defamation suits for women claiming to be abuse victims. 2. May be the end of non-messy celeb divorces. Whoever the victim is, will want a legal record not just proofs.

3. May alter how domestic abuse victims are advised - not sure how, but very likely going to hospital and creating an official record of injuries is likely.4. May reduce amicable divorces overall. It is one thing to simply want out, but if it can gag you for life, likely not.

5. Reporting of domestic abuse is likely to shift to a witness perspective rather than victim statements/claims/interviews. "I saw X hit Y" rather than "he hit me".6. Reporting of criminal behaviour by rich/powerful people will be further discouraged, even with facts in hand.

7. Depp fans still have the challenge of figuring out how a man also is accusing Depp of assault in under a month. New script needed.

I'd have found it funny to see what David Tennant did with Jodie Whittaker's costume, but TBH, I think it is good that the've basically done a clean break of sorts, metaphorically speaking. He only has three episodes. No point wasting one in wrong costume. #DoctorWho

3 episodes isn't long to make 14 memorable, PLUS competing with own self as 10. DT can probably pull it off. Still, the full 3 episodes being in his actual costume will help. I think for 10/14 contrast, he'll use a less hyper personna. Voice is also lower pitched. #DoctorWho
