It is only seen that way by those who mourn the passing of/threat to white male supremacy whether that be in relation to race or gender.
Of course there will be people who are over sensitive, who have a complete sense of humour failure where anything remotely un PC is mentioned, but you have to look at the bigger picture and, ‘woke’, in terms of raising awareness about injustice and ingrained unfairness in the World is a good thing.
Only those who hark back to a world where a woman’s place was in the kitchen, where black and Asian people were regarded as second class citizens (at best) and where being gay was a crime would think otherwise.
Unfortunately, and to an extent coincidentally, I suspect all too many of those who voted for Brexit might hanker after a return to such a world.
