to be annoyed by the slap on Dr Who?

[GoringBit]

The Doctor does something that annoys Clara, and she slaps him, hard. There are no repercussions, no criticism of the slap, it's just accepted. It made me so cross; if the roles had been reversed, there would be an outcry - rightly so - but in the context of the program, it implied that a woman hitting a man is acceptable. And this is in a family show, I just think it's really poor. On the other hand, it's fiction and the plot is far-fetched, it's not trying to depict real life.

So it just me? Should I dismount my high horse? I don't think IABU to be cross, but accept that I might be, and am genuinely interested in others' views.

Didn't like the slap at all - and it was unnecessary and I think unrealistic (yes, aliens, Dr Who, but Clara's supposed to be a real person)

I actually gasped at the kill and cry about it comment - I can't believe that if it had been said in real life then he'd have still wanted to take her for a drink, it was gobsmackingly (hah!) rude, crass, and insensitive - especially since she was talking to a man who had been a soldier.
