Nice drawings but I'm missing how they are feminist?

More egalitarian in my view which is how thy should be. Sadly feminism is not egalitarian.

Is it portrayed as acceptable though?

The BBC considered it was.

It is - but invariably when perpetrated against men, it's often done for laughs or portayed as justified given certain mitigating circumstances (e.g. in response to a man having an affair).

In essence - in fiction if a man hits a woman - he's being a bd. If a woman hits a man - it's because he's being a bd.
Summed up nicely!

to be fair her conclusion isn't a million miles from the truth:

Although the stunts and the japes are perhaps a little staged and strained, even a simple to-camera show from a Wiltshire pub with Clarkson, Hammond and May would have been preferable to the tripe peddled out by Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc.

and

...The Grand Tour‘s new, unafraid and unrelenting format is a breath of fresh air in the safe landscape of factual television programming.

Probably cos its funny watching people get triggered.

While i agree babe sweetie at work is not appropriate i think its a big load of crap trying to ban words lol.

If you say sorry babe to a woman in a street who you bump into and she goes all mental ..... woe is me.

girl at my local estate agents always addresses me as "my love"... does it bother me? Not in the slightest, why should it? Nothing is meant by it and that's how it's taken

I was being assessed at work this week, the assessor always referred to me directly as "my lovely", I quite liked it TBH as it made the whole thing a bit more human.

But worth a watch.

That original buzzfeed video really is something awful. I'm just glad any women I actually know are nothing like these lunatics.

The first question was so utterly stupid it made my head hurt. It's almost worth clicking on the original video just for the comments and to see the dislike ratio

I used to play 'Terms of Endearment bingo' with one of our non ferrous suppliers, every other word was 'babe' 'darling' 'love' etc

I was on the phone once ticking off all the words and adding the new ones when one of the directors looked over my shoulder and looked a bit confused. After I put the phone I explained what I was doing and how she talked the director walked off shaking his head and laughing.
