yeah, I thought it was stupid too. I'm not even crazy passionate about the Doctor's gender but that was a fairly hand-wavey answer to a not-even-unreasonable question and what the hell, guy, said I.

So then I decided to analyze the shit out of it. To give him the benefit of the (non-sexist) doubt, I figure he's gotta mean either:

a)it's too late in the game for this level of change (the 12th regen, I mean), that at this point it wouldn't be able to be properly explored or would feel like they just threw it in

b)the writers of the specials are gonna send 11 off in such a way that the next Doctor HAS to be male, for whatever reason (idk)

or c)he thinks that whenever Moff leaves is the right time.

Gaiman did clarify his comment, but his argument was that he felt that at this point in the series an older, slightly darker Doctor was required... and that for some reason, that it should be a man doing it. That's it. No explanation about why this edgier version of the Doctor can't be a woman.

It's unlikely it's C because he's friends with Moffat and likes his work.
