How real are Prince William and David Beckham attacked for being overtly sexist?

After posting a video with their daughter, both Prince William and David Beckham were suddenly criticized for allegedly engaging in sexist behavior. The allegation has sparked much controversy on social media.

According to the Daily Mail, ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup final between England and Spain, Prince William and David Beckham posted a video expressing regret at not being able to attend the match, though they wished the Lionesses (nickname of the England women's national football team) good luck and good luck.

However, the recording of the video with his daughter has caused two famous men to get into a bad situation. The Prince of Wales and former football star have been targeted by the MFW, a group of women's rights campaigners on social media. They called the videos overtly sexist and contained "micro-attacks."

"Prince William and David Beckham sending videos of themselves and their daughter to the Lionesses ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup match is overtly sexist. Because they both only introduced girls and did not have any boys....

... Their daughters would cheer for men and women, while their sons wouldn't. Many people will view this issue as minor, but it is not so. It's called micro-aggression and women and people belonging to oppressed groups go through every day of their lives," MFW wrote on Twitter (or X).

The MFW explains micro-attacks as small acts of sexism, racism, homophobia and disability discrimination that accumulate over time that undermine the confidence of the person attacked.

"It's a big slap to the women on the team and all women in general, and demonstrates that there is still more to go in improving the status of women's sport and women's efforts everywhere," the feminist advocacy group said.

Not stopping there, the post criticized Prince William and David for not attending the final. They were also upset that two of Britain's top celebrities encouraged women to "get out and enjoy themselves". For MFW, this was a condescending, demeaning remark that was never said when cheering on the men's team.

The post received the attention of a large number of netizens, with mixed opinions. One section criticised Prince William and David Beckham for giving yes, symbolic wishes and using their daughter as a shield. They argue that featuring Charlotte or Harper Seven in the video is unnecessary and that celebrity dads could have done better.

Besides, many MFW reviewers and group advocates are complicating matters. They didn't think William and David intended to use their daughter to convey a negative message.

According to some other netizens, in addition to the cheering video with his daughter, Beckham also posted other videos of the young female Lionesses players on Instagram.

"These young players never stop believing and growing up to be our incredible Lionesses... Now they will play in the game that creates dreams. Good luck to the Lionesses ahead of the World Cup final – no matter what happens, the whole country is so proud of what you worked to get to this historic moment. Keep believing, play with great passion and the teamwork that you show every time you play," Beckham wrote Aug. 19.

Representatives for Prince William, David Beckham and the Lionesses did not comment on the noise.
