        Sometime stupidity needs to be called out. Different perspectives aren't inherently a problem, but some specific ones are just dumb.

        For the record I'm not calling anyone stupid. Lots of very intelligent people are very small-minded

        Matt has a point, I'm being labelled sexist for objecting but I object because of how she was cast

        New showrunner said it was always gonna be a woman so she didn't get the part because she was determined best for the role

        She got it because the BBC wanted to appease the pc crowd.

        Literally noone is objecting to it. You just hope someone is, so you can be smug about it.

        You're playing Social Justice Warrior when nobody other than trolls is complaining about this. There's no giant anti-female movement, dude.

        Never forget, the Doctor is a Time Lord (this applies to Gallifreyan females). Gender is not an issue, the 1st Doctor had a grandaughter.
