As [Deborah] Cameron writes, 'The women being described here had featured prominently in a debate watched by millions; one of them also had a day job running a small country. And what did the pundits compare them to? Head girls, primary school teachers, head-mistresses, nurses, matron. This is how female authority is made intelligible: through allusions to a set of archetypal roles in which women have traditionally exercised power – prototypically over children, or over adults infantilised by illness. There was no pattern of analogous references to men: their authority in the political sphere is taken for granted, and does not call for comment or explanation.' And, of course, the subtext is that any man who accepts female authority has thereby been infantilised, has reduced himself to the status of a child.

The disparaging references remind us of Carry On films, St Trinian's and P. G. Wodehouse's notorious aunts. Cameron explains: 'In such instances women's authority is both a joke and a threat, or perhaps I should say, it's made into a joke to defuse the threat: they're bossy boots, petty tyrants, and in popular culture often grotesque – ageing, physically unattractive and either sexless or pathologically "man-eaters".'

Grown ass men getting mad at characters like venti, bluey, and Basil are so weird. There’s like no reason behind it either it’s like they are afraid they will get emasculated just by the sight of them.
