Doctor Who, Season Nine

[Tiberius]

It's official. Moffat is sexist, perhaps not as much as some of the classic-era Who, but way more than RTD:

I think that graphic is misleading. Especially with speaking times. Firstly, it doesn't compare the speaking time to the Doctor. Honestly, 2-3 minutes of speaking time for a character in a 45 minute show, where a lot of action occurs, is pretty impressive. So before we cast judgement based on that, it should really show the following:

Total speaking time (of all characters, combined)
Total speaking time (of the Doctor)
Total speaking time (of female characters)
Total speaking time (of male characters other than the Doctor)

Though honestly, speaking time is not a good indicator of sexism anyway. Neither is the Bechdel test in my opinion. Rather, we should look at the actual characters, whether they exhibit sexist behaviors, and whether they exhibit stereotypical gender based behaviors. Even then, it might not be a very good indicator, because ultimately some people will interpret behaviors differently. For example, is Amy's character sexist because she makes no attempts to hide the fact that she is sexually attracted to the Doctor even around her boyfriend, or is that empowering because she is a strong-minded woman? It goes both ways.
