A big problem I see in this is that people seem to think 'female character' is monolithic when there are a lot of different kinds of female characters just as there are a lot of different kinds of women. The old adage 'write what you know' fits here. Bushnell writing for Sex & the City wrote very different female characters than Roseanne Barr for Roseanne because of different experiences, personalities, worldview, etc.

And you have to admit that there are a lot of female writers giving us women only as girlfriend/wife/mother or whose lives in other ways revolve around men and/or family while there are male writers who gave us Donna Noble, Ripley, and Buffy. As a gal who desperately wants more Donnas, Ripleys, and Buffies and fewer Carries, Samanthas, and Bellas, I don't care what gender the writers are so long as we see women whose storylines include something other than dating/marriage/babies because women do think about other things. And if it's a male writer who does it, that's fine by me.

This so much.

I fear for any female writer ever writing for DW, because I think it will never be good enough for some (female) DW fans.
