11's a misogynist? Maybe I'm dense, but I've not seen that.
Sure.
1) Rory gets sneered at and told to not be such a woman. (remember when you said him being treated poorly by the Doctor, PHH? Yeah, that. Telling a man they're being womanly isn't exactly A+ behavior and tells a lot of how someone feels about the gender they're telling you not to be like)
2) The general behavior towards women. How they aren't treated like proper equals like Donna and Martha were. Even as far back as the Classic Who you have women who are treated as equals. 11 doesn't exactly have that happening. Doesn't treat his companions like that. Sure you can consider it ego but then why does he treat other males better? Why was Captain Jack treated so much better than Rory was?
3) Everyone's life revolves around the Doctor. Amy spent how many years waiting for the Doctor? And what did Donna and Martha do? Oh they went and did a bunch of kickass shit all on their own without the Doctor. Oh, they remembered him but they didn't pine for him. Same can't be said for Clara or Amy, can it? Clara's life very much revolved around the Doctor.
And the general writing speaks loads of the writer, Moffat himself. There's a lot to turn me off of 11. And it's a grand departure from what his previous incarnations were like.
Now, I'm not saying 11 is being obvious in it or that it isn't just circumstantial he'd say something wrong at certain points. It's not uncommon. The main thing with Ten and Donna is that he told her she wasn't important at all and that affected her throughout her season with him.
But 11 has turned into something who isn't "my Doctor".
Oh and I'll leave this gem of a line: “She’s been brainwashed, it probably makes sense to her. Plus, she’s a woman." Doctor, no...
But, if anyone wants to continue this I suggest another thread so as not to get too off track in this one.
I think the argument that the writing in general has become misogynistic has.. some merit, especially taking these quotes by Moffat into account, but not enough to fully convince me. With regards to the Doctor as a character, I'm gonna have to disagree. The points you make are rather weak.
1. Okay, I'll give you that.
2. You provide your own counterargument. He treats Jack better - but not Rory.
3. Why yes, why does the show revolve around the main character? Amy spent 12 years waiting for the Doctor - Rory spent 2000 years waiting for Amy. Why is the one robbing her of meaningful narrative potential yet the other not? It's a sign of devotion. A woman being depicted as devoted to a man can be misogynistic - yet it doesn't have to be. The data point that twelve episodes later, a man is doing the same thing for a woman pretty much disproves any misogyny at this point. Also, her devotion was not primarily in a romantic way, or she wouldn't have gotten herself engaged with Rory in the meantime. Also, this is again the storywriting, not the character.
Here I wanted to counter some of your arguments regarding the plot mistreating Amy, but thinking about it I'm rather becoming convinced. Even the episodes that focus on her.. 'Amy's Choice' is between two men. The 5th finale portrays her as a central figure, but the Doc tends to do everything and she just has to follow his instructions. 6th midfinale has her playing the Damsel in Distress.
But that's just Amy. Let's take a look at the other companions. Rory is pretty much defined by his relationship to Amy. Does this make the show misandrist? And there is River, who many see as a Mary Sue. While her crush on the Doctor is a big part of her character, she is definitely the one taking the lead in their relationship.
Going beyond companions, I don't see how anyone could consider Kovarian's portrayal as being misogynistic.
I haven't seen Series 7 yet, so can't say much about Clara.
Regarding the sex of any future incarnations of the Doc - as long as it's portrayed well, I don't care. However, I'm afraid that the writer[ s], trying to disprove any accusations of misogyny, will end up trying to overcompensate and make her some ridiculous badass, and as we all know, that is not a assurance that they won't fall into the same subconscious 'dependent on a man' traps regardless. Fiction is full of failed attempts. With the Doctor herself, such a thing would be even more damaging than with the companions. If in doubt, I'd rather they stick with men until the next generation of writers has less subconscious baggage.
