Re: S!A

no, fair enough, i agree that people would move on and accept it pretty quickly if they did cast the doctor as a woman.

i don't know that i agree w the separate but equal comment in this case, tho. because i think if you want to make that analogy you have to make it on the level of the system - the point is that you can't have separate systems for different classes, and pretend that you're treating those classes as equals. but that doesn't mean that you can't have a separate character and have it be equal; it means that you can't have separate ways of treating male and female characters in general and have it be equal(and obviously, we do).

i think that, if we had a female character who was treated the same way the doctor is, it wouldn't much matter whether or not they called the character the doctor or not, or whether it had the history of the specific character. the problem arises if a new female character would be treated differently (as they would be). i really don't think the issue is with the specific character of The Doctor.

this has definitely been a very interesting discussion, thanks to you as well for being cool to talk about this with.
