I can’t believe the BBC is now getting women to present the Generation Game. My childhood has been ruined. They have crossed a line and if we meninists don’t make a stand now, then the future may be a very dark place. The Generation Game has always been hosted by men, because only men are capable of understanding how to make people from different generations who are related to each other go through a series of tasks and stunts before making them sit in front of a conveyor belt of shit prizes. Everyone acknowledges that as one of our skills, along with map reading, being strong and acting like babies when we feel challenged by change. A woman couldn’t do that. The BBC know that. But they have erroneously thought that two women might be able to pull it off. When in fact they will just be twice as bad at it. That’s just maths. Another of our skills. 
It’s always been a man at the helm of that show and it’s just political correctness to change it.
And before you butt in, yes I know that Lily Savage did front a non-broadcast pilot of the show, but that just proves my point. It was so bad that it didn’t even get broadcast, let alone made into a series, because women can’t do a job as complex as this. 
That’s not to knock women - they can do loads of stuff men can’t. Like have babies, breast feed babies, look after babies and change nappies. And like Jacob Rees-Mogg I respect women’s ability to do all those things and I don’t barge in saying, “Oooh because of political correctness I am going to change a nappy now.” No. The idea of a man doing that makes you laugh doesn’t it. Because it’s so plainly ridiculous. We’d just mess it up. We know our strengths and our weaknesses. Our strengths are fronting light entertainment programmes and pretending to be a time travelling alien with two hearts and the ability to change into another person when we die. Our weaknesses are accepting that the Universe was not created specifically for us and being unable to deal with women due to their hysterical over-reaction to everything. 
Women have a place in the Generation Game. It is twirling around in a corner or keeping score (as long as they have a man telling them which numbers to put up through an earpiece) or standing near to Jim Davidson in a sexy costume, whilst he pulls a face implying that he has tricked them into doing that through his power as host and will later be using that same power to convince the women it will help their career if they have sex with him. And it’s also fine if they are contestants, as long as they mess up all the challenges and look stupid. Which they obviously will as none of the challenges involve birthing, feeding or wiping a baby.
And yes, men get paid more for doing the same job as women on TV, but you know why that is? Because what if there is a small fire in the studio and all the extinguishers are broken? A man could put that out easily because he has a water delivery system that can be specifically aimed. A woman would have to piss in her hands and throw the piss at the fire and a) women can’t throw and b) that would be upsetting for viewers. So with the additional possible small fire extinguishing duties men deserve an extra payment. Though I agree that should diminish once a man has hit 50 as the directional abilities of his hose lessen significantly. So I don’t know why John Humphries gets so much. By all accounts he has to sit down to wee, making him the equal of a woman.

So I hope the BBC will have a good hard think and stop destroying our childhoods. And go back to the policies that made them such a power for good in the 1970s when everything was great and the sanctity of childhood was respected.
