Out of an abundance of love for my spouse I have consented to watch one (1) episode of a television show he promises “is not as bad as the Newsroom except for one scene” & it’s honestly incredible, like in the manner of a nature documentary, the degree to which Steven Moffatt cannot write women

I feel like it's more accurate to say that Moffat can write exactly one woman, and you will hate her.

It's hard to write clever/fleshed out/relatable/realistic characters when your feelings towards them are, at best, a low-grade loathing coupled with a miasma of condescending disrespect. 🤷‍♀️

Every strong and interesting female character under Moffat has flashbacks of being a little girl. It's not cute.

the worst part is being on tumblr where people adamantly insist moffat is not only not bad at writing women, but good at it. hair pullingly frustrating

Like there are numerous quite funny scenes in which men talk to each other & the writing & direction & comedic timing are all sharp & on point, & then two women are in frame & the show becomes a facile cartoon I’ve been instructed to brace for the moment a student appears in a speaking role
