Tonight's episode, if Dr Who is a lesbian does that appease the male idea that 'real' women cannot be strong and independent or is it designed to split the the females in society into two groups believing, in their minds, that females have as little tolerance between gay and straight members of their sex as males do?

Frankly I think Dr Who was better when there were no love interests at all.
I agree 100%! Changed it from sci-fi to same-storyline-as-everything-else-but set in space

I think if pansexual has any meaning at all then surely it’s Doctor Who?

Dr Who is now a rather poor tract for modern secular Calvinists to impart their values to their audience. If only it at least it was still a good story.

Frankly I think Dr Who was better when there were no love interests at all.

I haven't seen it yet, so take this with a pinch of salt. But Dr Who is an alien who genuinely can change sex. I wouldn't be surpised to hear she's had sex with an Ood.

Why would a tv production team which includes many women believe that "females have as little tolerance between gay and straight members of their sex as males do"?

And why would they want to "split the females in society"? Surely if they do think that straight women can't tolerate seeing a lesbian on screen, that would mean lower viewing figures, which would be an unusual goal in tv.
