A Moffat quote I stumbled on:
"There’s this issue you’re not allowed to discuss: that women are needy. Men can go for longer, more happily, without women. That’s the truth. We don’t, as little boys, play at being married - we try to avoid it for as long as possible. Meanwhile women are out there hunting for husbands."
I will keep reminding myself that his Women Issues are most apparent in interviews, I will keep reminding myself that his Women Issues are most apparent in interviews...
He gave us Nancy, he gave us Reinette, he...
*headdesk*
(And the fact that this is such a prevalent view in tv writing in general [Martha getting engaged because that's the ONLY way she can get over the Doctor, for instance] is just.... GAH.)
-_-;;
ETA: Oh, and way to reinforce gender roles for guys too, much? Guys are allowed to be needy, and women are allowed to be independent, and it depends largely on the individual, and just.... GAH.
