You sound like one of those people who say 'it's adam and eve not adam and steve'.

Why the fuck would the character being a woman 'violate your every dream and hope'? Nothing about what makes the Doctor cool is intrinsic to his maleness.

The fact that it's possible for the Doctor to regenerate as female has already been established. There's no reason they have to stick with 'white dude'.

Do you know what MRAs are? It doesn't knock 'men' down, it knocks down MRAs.

Yes. Here are a few to get you started:

As a feminist man, I don't feel belittled by any of this. If feminist statements make you feel belittled, you may be the problem.

Did it ever occur to you that someone might A) not be heterosexual, or B) not WANT to date anyone, and if either are true they really don't need to share that with you? It doesn't have to mean that there's obviously something wrong with you. People can go to the bar (or anywhere) without intentions of romance.

It's totally cultural. One of the things I loved about England, as a teen, was that um blokes who came on to me took no for an answer, and really didn't need it spelled out with a skywriting plane. They just shrugged politely and moved on. It was AMAZING.

IMO, she didn't show kindness to you. Maybe it's a generational thing, but no one who says "I hate kids" actually means "I have an active dislike of children and would like to see them dead." They mean anything from "I like kids but I don't want to shove any out of my body for at least a few years" to "I find

The hell? One of my good friends has a face that always looks like she is about to murder somebody, unless she's smiling. This is totally fine. Why shouldn't it be? THAT IS JUST HER FACE. There is nothing wrong with having the face you have just because other people don't LIKE it. My mother hates my front-tooth

Chronic bitchface runs in my family. It's my relaxed facial expression, my default. I'm not going to stand around and smile for strangers if i'm not getting paid to do it so anyone who asks me to can kiss my ass.

Other acceptable responses before getting up, ranging from most polite to least:

It seems by your example that you are implying that women who adopt a neutral or "angry" expression would change their expression if only an attractive person would try to get them to change it. Is that what you're saying by admitting that if two women approached you, one attractive and one not, that you would be open

That was the comment that made me close the page.

Me not wanting to be bothered has nothing to do with the ugliness/attractiveness of a complete stranger. If I don't want to be bothered, I don't want to be bothered. Anyone who invades my personal space/disregards my requests to be left alone/persists in following me is creepy regardless of how the offender looks.

It doesn't matter what their intentions are, no one is entitled to ask people to look more pleasing to them.

Sorry, but no. When I'm in NYC, if I have any kind of even neutral facial expression, I am bothered by a creep every two blocks. If I look like if you approach me, I will cut you, I am left alone. I want to be left alone. So sorry if my angry facial expression is making you uncomfortable. I don't plan to be

I have to say that random men telling me to smile for no reason has always annoyed me to no end, which makes the story I'm about to tell even better.

I loved this article! I told my partner's cousin that she ever has to go out of her way to show someone affection but she always has to be polite. If she doesn't want to hug me when she sees me, that's totally cool, but she has to acknowledge me when I come in the room and greet her. Her mother actually told me

Just to pre-empt all the "why don't you want your daughter to be nice to people?????" comments- try replacing "she" with "he" in the quote about the daughter. It starts sounding weird really fast, because no one really seems to care if boys smile at everyone they see whether they're actually enjoying their company or
