A tragic day for whiny baby-men — the BBC just announced that the next Doctor Who will be a lady. Naturally, these sensitive souls took at once to Twitter to make their displeasure known. And to make jokes about Doctor Who turning into Nurse Who amirite fellas high five!

Here are some of the best of the worst Tweets I’ve seen so far. I can’t decide which are my favorites — the ones lamenting the loss of a crucial male “role model” or those suggesting that a female Doctor Who makes as much sense as a male Mary Poppins (which would be perfectly fine to me, by the way).

Female Doctor Who?? More like Nurse Who. Birds aren't smart enough to be doctors — Diary of A Simpy Kid (@thomasdeeacon) July 16, 2017

I'm actually quite shocked at the decision to cast a woman the should call it Nurse who now lol 😂😂 — Rhys Stewart (@rhysjordanstew1) July 16, 2017

Fuck you BBC. Fuck you lefties. You are in the minority. The BBC has been taken over by leftists. Can't wait for the show to fail. #doctor13 — Gapehorner 🇬🇧 (@Gapehorner) July 16, 2017

The BBC have literally just ruined all the heritage and history of Doctor Who making the new Doctor a woman — Aydin Osman (@Aydin_Osman96) July 16, 2017

Doctor Who officially ruined. Time Lords being women not an issue, 50 years of tradition out the window is. What next 007 being Janette Bond pic.twitter.com/Hj3buVMx8s — Ewan McColl (@TheMcColl) July 16, 2017

#DoctorWho died today. He didn’t die nobly as you might expect. He was murdered by Political Correctness. #NotMyDoctor — James Huckabee (@hucksworld) July 16, 2017

#DoctorWho So patronising to women to be chosen due to political correctness. No room for merit and talent if PC comes first. — Holomatrix (@Holomatrices) July 16, 2017

Women have their own heroes like RIpley, Buffy and Wonder Woman, there is no need to take away role models for men #notmydoctor — P.J. Lowry (@PJ_Lowry) July 16, 2017

I don't have a dog in the Doctor Who discussion really, but I do think it's a shame that a role-model has been taken away from young boys — Denys Lasdun Stan Account (@popeoldham) July 16, 2017

I am shocked the new doctor is a women why break tradition… I'm not backing down women empowerment, but in the fight place… #doctor13 — Alex N (@__AlexN_) July 16, 2017

#doctorwho The regressive left are going crazy over the choice, next they will want a transgender to take the role as the Doctor. — Doctor Joker (@DoctorJoker_) July 16, 2017

No, I don’t understand what that last one means either.
