Moffat has said sexist things in interviews several times, not just once and not just "out of context." (Where's the context where it's okay to trash Karen Gillian for being "dumpy"? Where's the context where it's okay to say women just want marriage and need saving, that men hate commitment, that there's a "lack of respect" for men in society? Where's the context where it's okay to imply that getting married is anti-feminist?)
Further, his writing is incredibly sexist. All of it. Actually all of it. His writing in Doctor Who? INCREDIBLY SEXIST. His writing on Sherlock? INCREDIBLY SEXIST. You can't tell me it's ~just one interview quote~ when given an hour I could write a ten-page sourced academic paper on the sexism in Moffat's writing and portrayal of female characters. Give me four hours and I'll have a fifteen-page sourced academic paper on what the sexism in his works implies he thinks about women, what women should be like, and how it negatively impacts women in the world. I'm not joking -- I've already DONE the former, and the latter would take relatively little effort considering the consistency of the gross, blatant sexism in his work.
So please don't pretend that all this is about is "one quote taken out of context baaaaaw." If you want to be a blind sheep crying about how omgaaawwwwd people don't like your savior Moffat, whatever, but quit trying to discredit people who acknowledge his severe and deep flaws and the flaws of his writing and quit bawing about how dare people hate him.
Oh, and quit acting like his disgusting sexism is the same as a relatively pro-woman and feminist portrayal of a woman whose only similarity to Moffat's character is that they are both sex workers.
P.S. As someone else already pointed out, this discussion "wouldn't even exist" if you hadn't made a ridiculous, incredibly stupid secret pretending that Moffat's Irene Adler and Whedon's Inara were in any way, shape or form equivalent.
