Stephen Moffat misogynistic because he writes male centric stories and he thought Rose's romance w/the 10th Doctor Who was stupid (and laughed at the fans for taking it too seriously)....
Hmm. I thought the Rose/Doctor 10 ship was stupid too and laughed at fans for taking it seriously - guess that makes me misogynist?? (Although I was admittedly quiet about it - there's a lot of Rose/Doc 10 shippers on my flist, along with Buffy/Angel shippers, neither of which I understood - but eh, I don't get the Bones love either, so... mileage varies?)
Well, he is male. What's he supposed to write female centric stories? Besides - it is a story about a male protagonist! And why aren't they blasting JK Rowlings - who wrote nothing but male centric books? Not that I found the fifth season all that male centric, I actually thought seasons 1-4 were male centric. This season has been more female centric. (shrugs)
Yep. The term misogynist has gone way beyond its saturation point. Sexist is a far better term and can well be used in far more situations. Fandom methinks needs to broaden its collective vocabulary.
