Are you kidding? The women in my life talk like that to me all the time. But, beware talking that way to them, or I will kick some ass.

Yes but that’s between you and your friends. Not on enormously popular family entertainment.
PERFECTION.
You must be pretty fragile if a family tv show is so upsetting to you. The Doctor is a woman now, get over it. It’s not an attack on men, that’s an absurd notion.
It's not the female doctor part, it's the constant male bashing.
A few jokes where men were lightly dismissed as being somewhat inferior to women? That’s bashing?
If that upsets you’d never be able to handle how women are treated.
It doesn't 'upset me' it was just a point against my post being labelled sexist. The show itself is constantly sexist.
No. No it’s not.
Do you spend this much time fighting the misogyny in other shows? Or is it the one line here or there commenting on men that offends you?
It is, imagine if a man said to a woman "don't think, you're a woman it looks weird." there would be absolute hell to pay, infact the show would probably be shut down.
I can't think of anything on TV that's brand new that's being misogynistic for the past 10 years.
This is the same writer who had Rory make a joke about Amy only getting her driving license because she wore a short skirt (and how it was Amy's fault the TARDIS broke down, because she stood over Rory when he was messing with it).
It's also the same writer who has women get pestered by a man until they "see the light" and start dating/marrying them.
Moffat's roots are in relationship comedy and for him that involves sexist humour on both sides. It's not right, but he's neither a misogynist and certainly not a misandrist.

^ You have a point.
Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, all of reality TV and the news. There’s a lot more.
The very essence of Mad Men is misogyny.
That’s the main reason I couldn’t get into the show.
Again: your point would carry water if all things were equal. But they aren’t.
Men still hold most of the power, still paid more for the same work, still get a pass on treating women with disrespect.
When one show, in one line, says something “sexist,” you are all in a tizzy about it.
Imagine if you spent time on the other side....
