Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

I don't think Harriet Jones, from Doctor Who, did anything wrong, and I think it was wrong if The Doctor to use sexism to bring her down.

I understand her logic, because she was right, how can she know he's always going to be there to save earth? It's not statistically probably.

Not sure I'd be able to murder 'for the greater good' but I'm also not in a position where I have to make that decision.

What did he do that was sexist to bring her down though? All I remember is him telling people she looked tired... if she has been male and he said that, it still would have been effective would it not?

No, it wouldn't have. If she'd been a man, the response to that would have been "of course he's exhausted and on edge, the world just nearly fucking ended". Because she was a woman, "looking tired" is interpreted as weak, and being on edge about what the alien time traveler may or may not have said to an underling after threatening to destroy her is interpreted as being unstable or overly emotional.

I think she was wrong, but I think she was wrong in an understandable way, and I don't think her wrong was to a level where it was okay for the Doctor to interfere. Like, he gets to interfere with dictators and actual evil. This wasn't it. He didn't have the right. But I also think it was completely in-character for 10. I just wish more characters had disagreed with the Doctor.
