I assume anyone who even watches PBS is smarter than the average bear. I'm looking forward to seeing what the writers have in store for the Good Doctor. I think some valid points have been raiised both by Dorothy and the commentators here. I look forward to watching it. My clique of friends male and female just love Dr. Who. My guy friends arent destroyed that a female was cast. Actually more than a few love it. We'll be watching on WGBH. I don't think blogs qualify as "clickbait". It's not like they are monetized. Its an opinion piece. No more. No less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-83796330129445723042017-07-21T13:01:01.946-07:002017-07-21T13:01:01.946-07:00Hey anon 7:07 this is Dorothy's personal blog,...Hey anon 7:07 this is Dorothy's personal blog, that doesn't mean someone is a journalist or has to cover stories like a journalist. I'm just going to assume that you're a man (an educated guess based on what you've written) who for some reason thinks this LGBT site on a ton of gay lady themed posts applies to him? Also if you're not a misogynist and you support a female Dr. Who, then good, that also means SHE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU IN THIS POST.

Instead of actually being delighted that an exceptionally talented actress like Jodie Whittaker has been cast in the role, like every other disingenuous feminist blogger, you prefer to turn it into an ongoing pissing contest, casually ignoring the fact that more than just "misogynistic manbabies" didn't want a female Doctor and also ignoring that there were men who actually were supportive of the move at all. Aren't you supposed to be an actual journalist? Maybe you should y'know, do some actual research and write an article that's a more truthful reflection on how fans of the show and the media have taken the news instead of going for cheap clickbait. Perhaps then you might actually have something worthwhile to say, you stupid hack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-61972426510333918792017-07-20T14:19:48.933-07:002017-07-20T14:19:48.933-07:00Great article as always DS.

I think a female doctor is great choice. And long overdue. Jodie will be the 13th Doctor. And a great choice Ive seen her in theatre in Britain. <br /><br />However for feminists out there It's ironic because although the main character was male who had great powers in many stories a human (often a woman) had to knock him down when he became to arrogant or powerful or had to be reminded that human emotions can be equally as powerful as genius. Now imagine the new female Doctor has these same storylines. surely, people will cry "Misogony " !! If a man is knocking the Female Doctor down. Sexism can go both ways, surely women bear the brunt of it but don't tell me misandry doesn't exist either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-2517356587155421002017-07-19T17:39:59.045-07:002017-07-19T17:39:59.045-07:00It's not a "battle of the sexes", it...It's not a "battle of the sexes", it's called sexism, which is a real thing that still exists.

Besides, I have seen far from positive reactions from men than negative ones. And as Elf said many of those opposed to a female Doctor are women. <br /><br />This 21st century Battle of the Sexes TM (mostly I suspect a media creation) is getting so tedious. *yawn*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-28437187245347818672017-07-17T12:46:14.112-07:002017-07-17T12:46:14.112-07:00I'm not gonna knock her until she appears (and...I'm not gonna knock her until she appears (and in her own episodes too: can't judge by just the regeneration cameo).

Yes, there are a lot of misogyny around this, but in Dr Who's case I think labelling the antipathy of having the Doctor being a woman as a male chauvinist thing is misplaced.Hogne B.
