My opinion on Doctor Who being a woman- News segment- Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 Growing up, I have always been watching Doctor Who. I would watch it after Strictly just to stay up a little later (lol). I would watch the Christmas specials etc. I think it's fair to say that I'm a bit of a fan. But what has upset me the most recently was the fact that they changed the Doctor to being a woman. For years on end, families and children have been watching a male actor as the Doctor and no one cared about it then. Subsequently, I am a little bit confused as to why people care so much now. Technically, the Doctor can change into anything he wants to be wether that is a woman or an animal. But the reason as to why he was neither of those things for so long was because it fit into the story better to be a male.  The production team of Doctor Who isn't trying to offend people they are just trying to do their job which is to make an entertaining program. I was so disappointed with the new episode that aired before the results on Strictly. This program has got nothing to do with politics so I'm a little concerned by them drawing politics in and bringing a feminist ideology. No one has changed Romeo and Juliet to being two women, no one has changed has changed Harry Potter to being a female because that is not the story. It is just what is authentic to the story and what is authentic and classic about Doctor Who is that its a different male each time. I didn't get offended by it and other women didn't too. But for those who did, ask yourself the question "is it really offensive?"

 What are your opinions on this subject? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them.

 See you next time,

 Bye,

 XOX,Juliette

    I watched Dr. Who for many years when it was shown here in the U.S. Unfortunately it was taken off (too expensive to buy it) but I was never offended by the Dr. being a male. I don't think I could watch it with a female character. I am so in agreement with you. Some things should just be left alone. And not everything needs to have a feminist agenda. I hope the Dr. regenerates back into a male soon! (I was a huge Tom Baker fan. I even knit myself a Dr. Who scarf!)

The Duke of Endinburgh Awards

Hi guys, Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about the Duke of Edinburgh awards. Before we get on to the blog post, make sure to hit the follow button on the sidebar. I hope you love the blog transformation. I've been working on it for the past few days to make things more accessable and aesthetically pleasing. I hope you appreciate it! Today's shout out goes to Ladylike on YouTube. They do amazing videos. We as women can definitely relate to the videos. Please go and check them out! Let's get on to the blog post. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards. A self-improvement program for adolescents and adults. This was founded by Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. At first, I wasn't so sure about joining this program. It just didn't seem my thing; doing volunteering work and completing challenges until finally, surviving for two days in the wilderness. However, something inside me just clicked. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. By doing this, it sh...

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, Today, I will be talking about a somewhat interesting day in a life of me. If you liked this post, please comment, I love to hear from you and reply to your comments! I usually leave a question at the end of every blog post so you can reply to that if you want! I am also trying to grow my blogging family so please don't forget to follow! Now, let's get on to a day in a life of me!👉 I woke up at 8am on Friday the 29th of December 2017. I was still extremely tired! But I'm that type of person that when I'm awake, I struggle to get back to sleep. So, as per usual, I just scrolled on my phone till it was 9am and time to get up. There isn't a specified time from which I must get up but my family find it weird, for some strange reason, if I'm awake earlier or later. Once I am down stairs, I say "good morning" and hug my parents before heading to the kitchen. Today, my dad was assembling the island which my...

New years resolutions for 2019

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I'm going to be making some new year resolutions for 2019. This time last year I made a few new years resolutions for 2018 and although I succeeded at completing some of them, many of them I did not complete. That's okay, but in order to ensure that my chances of completing them are higher this year, I need to be determined and keep looking back on my goals. So without further a do, here are my new years resolutions. Enjoy! Go to Berlin. I am going on a history trip for 5 days to Berlin, Germany in April. I've got my passport ready already and I can't wait to go! Start teaching dance or do something in work experience involving dance. I am hoping to start teaching dance perhaps part-time or for a small amount of hours since I'm only 14 but I do want to become a choreographer when I'm older so I thought it would be useful. If this is unable to happen, I was hoping of asking my dance studio or my ...

Blogmas day 2- Setting up the tree!

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Yesterday was the first of December meaning we were going to get our Christmas tree. Our first stop was Tescos however because my sister wanted to get some chocolates for her friend's birthday. While we were there, we also bought some meat and cheese because my mum wanted to make a lasagna for dinner. We also bought a can of peas to give to the food bank. It's sad that we even have to give anything to the food bank but in our area I know that there are quite a few people who are struggling to get their basic needs so its nice to give something back. I was also glad to see that a lot of other people were giving to the food bank. After shopping, we got into the car to go to our nearest rectory  farm where they sell real Christmas trees.  When we arrived, we pulled down the back seat to allow for room for the tree. We then started looking for the tree. We found a good tree at first but then we decided we should look aro...
