When it comes to people filling certain positions, I have no opinion whatsoever based on gender, race or other characteristics. I'm only concerned with the ability to fulfill the role meaningfully. It's only natural that a new Dr Who will take some time getting used to the new role, getting in the flow, refining the style and adding Dr. Who airtime experience to the skill set. So it will certainly be different, and some people are just naturally change-resistant, they would have a problem with any new candidate.
But I truly hope that when criticism comes, the defense mechanisms to defend the new Dr Who will not be gender-based either. When people are not allowed to criticize just because the object of their criticism is a women, logical reasoning is lost.
I hope we are moving to a world where we all have opportunities and limitations, different for every single one of us, but we will not limit our vision about what's right and what's not based on gender, race, sexual preference or other physical abilities.
The greatest stories are made of people that overcame huge difficulties, but persevered anyway with a positive mindset and a can-do mentality.
Absolutely correct, it is actually disappointing that today in the 21st century though how I, as a woman, still feel the need to celebrate the simple fact that a woman has been given the opportunity to fulfill a role which has been predominately male since it first began.
