        Punch and Judy is bad now because it 'glorifies violence against women.' The pantomime dame is under threat as considered to be transphobic.

        Because its a man in women's clothing used for humorous effect.

        Dressing up a man in woman's clothing and beating him/her up is transphobic? Would it be misandry if it was a man being beaten?

        There is much beating up in Punch and Judy but this is a puppet show. The dame is in pantomimes. Are you British at all?
