Mal Young and his misogyny as a soap producer

[RandallAdams]

He is obsessed with violence against women on the soaps. On Brookside, he had a mother and baby son Sue Sullivan and Danny thrown off a scaffold to their deaths and then the murderer Barry Grant got away with it.

He then had Beth Jordache being molested by her father, insinuating that the experience made her a lesbian and finally had her sent to prison for killing him only to die from a heart condition while incarcerated.

Moving to Eastenders, he had Tiffany Mitchell being in an abusive marriage (to another character called Grant) who cheated on her with her mother, then had his wife violently plunge down the stairs, fall into a coma for a month and after she recovered, had her run over and killed in the street only days later.

He HATES women.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

Is there any violence against dudes?

No, the tough guys always win. He must have a tiny cock.

Eww. They say that about serial killers.

 

[RandallAdams]

Eww. They say that about serial killers.

Well, it's true, isn't it? People only become depraved killers and abusers because they feel like they don't 'measure up'.

I think you're reading too much into this. All these shows had plenty of violent things happen to men too. They're soaps, dramatic stuff needs to happen.

Not on British soaps. Get a clue.

I haven't seen his work, so I have to take the OP's word for it.

That said, I want Neil McVane to dismember Tracey Kendall, with Krystle arrested for the crime.

I watched all these shows during the time periods you mention and absolutely yes, violent things were happening to men too, especially on Eastenders. But I guess that doesn't fit your narrative.

No, the tough guys always win.

Of the two stories you pointed out, Trevor Jordache was killed and buried in the back garden and that certainly wasn’t a win for the guy.

I had no idea there were so many toxic anti-feminists on this board. I'm seriously considering shutting down my account because i dont want to be around the likes of you.

Someone has a different opinion to you and you react by accusing them as being toxic anti-feminists?


Either you have a lot to learn about forum etiquette or you are deliberately trolling for some form of reaction.

The point stands. I am disgusted.

You mean the wife-beating child molesting pedophile, don't you? How awful for the men that he paid with his life.

 

[Alexis]

I also watched these shows and there were of course awful things happening, to both male and female characters" They are soaps they play on the tragic and the dramatic. This thread is painting a picture of something that doesn't exist. And do we really need a thread for every thought a person has in their head?

Excuse me? If you don't want to participate in my threads, don't. Your topics are hardly enthralling.

There's seriously something the matter with you.

You have missed the whole point of your own argument.

To help you understand, you said the guys got away with it. I pointed out Trevor was killed. It’s irrelevant who he was or what he did. The simple truth is Trevor was a guy who ended up dead. It really is that simple. No need to attack or troll members who share a different opinion to you.

My whole argument is about the power imbalance of innocent women being abused by men. Trevor's death was entirely justified and Beth had to pay for it with her life.

I mean, the evidence would show my topics generate more than the handful of posts that your random thought of the moment threads generate. But then I guess you do have your little heart set on being poster of the month.
