the thing is i think steven moffat is. to be totally honest. an absolutely brilliant writer and the themes he explores are ones i personally find more compelling (the doctor as a fairytale figure & the show as overt fantasy, notably). but his gender politics makes me want to screeeeeeeam

#its just this particularly irritating brand of like #whedonesque strong sexually aggressive woman wants nerd male moment #where Every Single interaction between men and women has to be Kinda Sexy #yknow?#and this is also kind of worsened by the doctor being still broadly asexual kinda #which tbh i personally think is a concession to the kind of people who got really mad about the movie kiss #with the result that it just makes alll the women he writes seem like sexed up vamps yknow?#being charitable there is a lot of really interesting stuff re amy and her desperate desire for escapism #its just marred by moffats rabid heterosexuality #caveat im watching s5 rn and i never fully watched 12&clara so im only talking about amy era
