And no I am not saying cross dressing should be banned from TV. What I am saying is that if people are allowed to put cross dressing on TV, or promote gay marriage, or any other random social issue, then the alternative points of view should have the same freedom REGARDLESS of what the vocal minority thinks is "right" or "fair".
They
are allowed to. The vast majority of TV content contains "traditional" or "normative" depictions of gender roles. Also, what makes you think supporters of gender equality are a "vocal minority"?
This is a very strange angle to approach it from - because the story here is that a show that dares depict a male character in "female" clothes is being attacked, and people are saying it shouldn't be shown. Nobody has said anything about banning shows that show males in traditionally male clothes.
No one is suggesting people have to agree, but to say that someone else does not have the right to speak their mind is ridiculous.
When did anybody say that others don't have the right to speak their mind?
Bob's videos are OP-ED pieces, nothing more and should be treated as such IMO.
I don't think anybody ever thought otherwise. Perhaps you can point out who was claiming that Bob is a hard news reporter? He's obviously an entertainment reviewer.
What's wrong with op-ed pieces, anyway? Some of the best journalism ever written has been in the editorial/opinion format.
