I mean, some of the arguments I've seen make some sort of sense on an intellectual level, as an amusing argument. The thing I heard was 'all his famles are looking for men/want to get married.' etc, and that was their big purpose.
Now I don't disagree that he tends to write women as mothers/wives, but how does that take away from the woman? Women who want to be mothers/wives are somehow not as feminist as those who don't? Seriously? Cause if that's the case, I missed that memo.
Besides, if that's the kind of woman Moffat writes, it's probably because it's the kind of woman he can write well. I don't think that makes him a woman-hater at all. And even if he is a bit primative in his thinking, I don't care.
If Moffatt isn't a completely enlightened being, I'm cool with that, because I enjoy his work, and that's all he's obligated to me for. Good stories.

Hops off soapbox.
