Ok really not trying to troll here. But, my point isn't that it's a bad episode. Just that the women weren't represented well in it in my opinion. And I think it's fair to talk about sexism whenever it's present, even if it's not front and center.

That's not the point, it's about character.

To me the problem is that they don't seem to exist out of their relationship with the Doctor, with the Moment it's forgivable because it makes good plot sense. But with Clara, I don't see how it can be anything but sexist that her only role seems to be supporting/being the emotional counterpoint to the Doctor.

No, just the Moffat-era who verse because it seems to be getting progressively more sexist. And I would argue that the Moment was also acting a conscience for the Doctor, and filling the good the supportive woman trope.

Um does anyone else think that the episode was really sexist? Brilliant Doctor wise, but kind of terrible female character-wise…I'm really tired of the women only ever getting to be emotional, compassionate supporters for the Doctor.
