This is widely commented on in other forums and it is pretty well known. I guess if you can't see it, that may be an indication that you are woke yourself, and therefore it does not trouble you.
For example, in the drama production industry, actors are chosen on the basis of their ability and getting a resemblance to the characters they are playing. Lately, the Beeb and some others have abandoned that principle and now actively work towards getting black actors playing white historical figures (but not the other way round), straight characters being portrayed as gay (again, but not the other way round), etc, etc.
Everywhere, we see men obssessing about being included in the raising of children borne of broken relationships while the woman was still pregnant - as if that was the norm - when we all know that this is the exception. Sadly, the simple truth is that most young men would run a mile in that situation if they could get away from any responsibility for maintenance or upbringing.
The BBC is on a mission to change attitudes, but the clumsy, blatant way they are doing it is turning a lot of people off the broadcaster completely.
Of course, it goes without saying that other opinions are available.
