I haven't had the experiences you've had with Ten/Rose shippers, but then the only one's I know of were on my reading list, who were fairly sane. ;-)
(Although will admit that there are crazy and somewhat illogical shippers in every fandom, regardless of the television show. And seen a little bit of the Ten/Rose wackiness on the periphery.
Which is why I'm particularly annoyed with that view of Moffat, as I find it hard to see Ten/Rose as in any way a feminism-friendly ship
Agreed. I don't see Moffat as any more sexist than Whedon. Actually less sexist in some respects. And, I was NOT a Ten/Rose shipper or fan. That ship irritated me. Rose irritated me. Much preferred Ten/River, Ten/Jack or Ten/The Master. Although I tended to see the Doctor as rather aesexual to be honest. I have troubles envisioning him doing it with anyone, regardless of who plays him. It's how the wrote and directed him.
Rose irritated me as a character. RT Davies take on Buffy didn't work for me. ;-)
ETA: Didn't RT Davies provide the Ten/Rose Shippers with their happy ending though? The Alt-Verse Doctor or Ten 2, who turned human, got to go off into the parallel verse with Rose and her family. Sort of gave everyone what they wanted.
