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!)

Durham - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  As most of you have probably already seen on my Instagram, a couple months ago now, me and my parents went on a road trip to Durham to visit the university there. I thought it would be a wise idea to apply to other universities apart from Cambridge so that I would have more options in the future should anything not go to plan. And that's why I chose Durham because it was a good university and I also heard many good things about it from people at work who said they had studied there. I had actually wanted to visit Durham during their open day but of course this open day just so happened to fall at the exact same time as the open days at Cambridge which I suppose is typical. Both Cambridge and Durham are pretty competitive institutions to enter and I suppose they want you as an applicant to be selective with your decisions and narrow your choices down. It was quite annoying but I took to the internet and researched other wa...

A short diary entry from me: Going to sixth form for the first time - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, On Thursday, I had my first day of school at my sixth form college. I was quite nervous because I didn't know what to expect and it was going to be a new environment for me to be in. This was especially enhanced by the 6 month lockdown period that meant I couldn't go to proper school for the whole time and so stepping into a new building and embracing a new way of life was definitely difficult for me. Although I knew I was finished, I felt like I still needed to go back to secondary school because I never really had time to say goodbye properly or formulate that I wasn't going to study at secondary school anymore.  However, bravely, I woke up on Thursday, had my breakfast, got ready, and got in the car with my dad to go to college. I arrived at 10:00am and signed my name on the register before putting on my mask, sanitising my hands, and going into the hall for assembly. Since we weren't allowed to change and since ...

The difficulty of the artistic life - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  People tend to choose a creative profession because academic jobs are more challenging. In a way, I can understand why that would make sense to many people. If you wanted to get into medicine or become a paramedic, there's a lot you would have to do beforehand to get there. When I read Noel Fitzpatrick's book, Becoming the Supervet, in order for him to become a professor in his field, he had to go to vet school and specialise in orthopaedic surgery at university. That was a huge undertaking that would stress anyone out because it's so competitive and you've only got one chance to succeed after years and years of study. However, it's a common misconception that dance or any other creative industry, isn't just as stressful. Over the years I've been dancing, I've met a lot of different dancers and dance teachers. Luckily, both of my dance teachers in and out of school now are lovely and supportive bu...

Do we settle for the world as it is, or do we work for the world as it should be?- Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  I'll be honest, there are very few political leaders and activists that I appreciate. I'm not a fan of politics because I think it can turn into a huge fight for personal gain and people always try to one-up each other. I also don't pay attention to the news much because politics is streamed all over the face of it. However, I've been reading Becoming Michelle Obama, as some of you may know if you read my book reviews on my second blog, and she portrays these really inspirational ideas and one of them I thought I would share with you today. I didn't really know much about the Obamas, prior to reading this book but after reading a few chapters, I understand the amazing story behind the First Lady herself. Having met Barack, Michelle accompanied him on many different talks that he did in some of the deprived parts of Chicago. One talk he did, he was speaking to members of the local community, who had faced fina...
