Doctor Who: 12 Steven Moffat Quotes You Might Not Have Heard
9. On Accusations Of Sexism...
For so many viewers, the sexism in Steven Moffat's Doctor Who is a zeppelin of a fly, basking in the ointment. And whilst the internet is awash with attacks and dismay from feminists all over the globe, we don't really hear so much of what the man himself has to say about the accusations. Moffat's rarely singled out specific scenes or episodes that have come under fire, but he certainly denies misogyny in a wider sense... most of us just haven't heard him do so.
"I think its one thing to criticise a programme and another thing to invent motives out of amateur psychology for the writer and then accuse him of having those feelings."
BBC
" They're not really going to buy a house and a Volvo together. I'm not saying this is how people should date!"
The Guardian
"I was called a misogynist because I was reducing women to mothers. 'Reducing women to mothers' now there is possibly the most anti-women statement I've heard."
The Guardian
I AM sexist. Women are cleverer, nicer, kinder and better at stuff. Dont let on or theyll keep us in fields. FIELDS!!!
