NO BUT IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN THAT, THE GAG STARTS WHEN SHE’S JUST THE MP FOR FLYDALE NORTH AND SHE KEEPS INTRODUCING HERSELF AS SUCH AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO SHE IS. AND THEN WHEN SHE CAME BACK FOR THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, SHE HAD JUST BEEN ELECTED PRIME MINISTER, AFTER YEARS OF BEING A “BACKBENCH LOYALIST,” NOT “ONE OF THE BABES,” AND SHE’S STILL SCARED THAT THEY WILL TRY TO KEEP HER IN DARK, AS THEY HAVE FOR SO MANY YEARS. SO SHE REVERTS BACK TO HER TENDENCY TO BLURT OUT HER NAME AND CREDENTIALS TO FORCE PEOPLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO HER AND SHOW HER SOME RESPECT.
HONESTLY, WHEN THE DOCTOR DISPOSED HER, IT WAS ONE OF THE NASTIEST AND MOST ABHORRENT THINGS I SAW DONE TO A WOMAN IN RTD’S ERA. 1/3 OF THE EARTH FACED DEATH OR 1/2 FACED SLAVERY TO THE SYCORAX. THE DOCTOR GETS RID OF THEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT HARRIET WAS RIGHT, HE WON’T ALWAYS BE THERE. SHE SHOT DOWN THEIR SHIP BECAUSE EITHER THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BACK OR ANOTHER OF THEIR ILK WOULD BE OR THEY WOULD GO AND DO THIS TO ANOTHER PLANET. THEY TRADE IN SLAVES, DID THE DOCTOR REALLY THINK THEY WOULDN’T TAKE THEIR OPERATION ELSEWHERE? TO SOMEWHERE THE DOCTOR WASN’T DEFENDING?
HARRIET DEFENDED THE FUCKING EARTH AND MOST LIKELY SAVED OTHER PLANETS FROM BEING SOLD INTO SLAVERY. AND, LIKE THE DOCTOR, SHE DIDN’T GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE, BUT THE DOCTOR CUTS HER DOWN FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING, BECAUSE HE DIDN’T LIKE IT. HE DOESN’T LIKE NOT BEING THE ONE TO MAKE THOSE TYPES OF CALLS.
AND SHE WAS GOD DAMN RIGHT. HE WASN’T THERE WHEN THE 456 ATTACKED. HE ONLY MADE IT IN “THE STOLEN EARTH” BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT DAY WOULD COME.
BUT HERE’S WHERE IT GETS NASTY. HE UNDERMINES HER RULE WITH THE PHRASE, “DON’T YOU THINK SHE LOOKS TIRED?”
GUESS WHAT, THAT TYPE OF SECOND-GUESSING OF COMPETENCE ONLY WORKS ON WOMEN IN POLITICS. IT WON’T WORK ON MEN, BECAUSE THE POPULACE ALREADY DOUBTS A WOMAN’S LEADERSHIP, IN A SUBTLE, WAITING TO FAIL KIND OF WAY. IN POLITICS, WOMEN HAVE TO BE BETTER, SMARTER, KINDER, MORE PERFECT, WITHOUT ANY FLAWS WHATSOEVER, BECAUSE THE SECOND THEY EXHIBIT THEM, THEY WILL BE CUT DOWN SO QUICKLY. THE POLITICAL PUNDITS AND WRITERS ARE JUST WAITING FOR A FAULT TO EXPLOIT, TO BRING DOWN STRONG WOMEN IN POLITICS.
DON’T BELIEVE ME? TAKE A LOOK AT THE BULLSHIT ATTACKS MICHELLE OBAMA AND HILLARY CLINTON HAVE TO DEAL WITH, OR THE DISMISSIVE ATTITUDES THAT ALEXA MCDONOUGH AND KIM CAMPBELL WERE MET WITH IN CANADA. LET’S COMPARE THEM TO THE VIRTUALLY FREE PASS MALE POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN MET WITH? HARPER BECOME PRIME MINISTER CLAIMING TO ABOLISH THE SENATE AND THAT HE WOULD “CLEAN UP CANADIAN POLITICS”-INSTEAD HE APPOINTED SENATORS AND HIS OFFICE HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN A MASSIVE COVER-UP OF DIRTY MISDEEDS. HE’S STILL PROBABLY GOING TO BE RE-ELECTED. ROB FORD, OF CRACK-SMOKING FAME, JUST PUT IN HIS BID TO BE RE-ELECTED MAYOR OF CANADA’S BIGGEST CITY. WTF?
ANYWAYS, THAT’S MY ANGRY RANT, I WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED THAT NOT ONLY DID THE DOCTOR DESTROY A WOMAN’S CAREER FOR PROTECTING HER PLANET AND, MOST LIKELY, OTHERS, BUT HE DID IT BY ATTACKING HER AND ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO ATTACK HER IN A SEXIST WAY. HE USED UNDERLYING SEXISM IN SOCIETY TO TAKE AWAY HER POWER AND THAT WAS ICKY AS FUCK.
