From my experience, 'strong, take charge' females...they are about...but they are very much a minority. I don't mind the idea of a 'strong female' character...they exist and so should have their representation....But not in the numbers we are seeing on the telly that's for sure....It's far beyond reaching the point of being a cliche. I can hardly think of roles in UK telly which show females that aren't strong.. I mean I'm constantly seeing beta males on the telly practically in every role going...especially on UK telly....Not so much on the successful US adult stuff. This is my complaint.....There are few representation of masculinity that actually reflects masculinity on British TV. Where is the representation?....Why are we putting out these messages that aren't representative of genders at all? Masculinity is nothing to be ashamed of and the people in charge are implicitly giving out this message....Especially when this stuff is aimed at children. There needs to be far far more of a balance. Originally posted by jamiemartin721 Notably of course Dr Who is not a traditional masculine role model, and never has been, and subverts the stereotype of male heroes (relying on intelligence, cunning and wit to win, rather than strength and power roles). I think you are perhaps showing your prejudices here Jamie. I have no idea why you regard masculinity as not being associated with 'intelligence, cunning and wit to win' ......Would you also say this of femininity? I've met people of both sexes who would fit that criteria....More males perhaps but it isn't mutually exclusive by any means. In the real world however, what scientific research has been done on intelligence differences between the sexes has found that men, on average, tend to more smarter and dumber than females....Females tending to group around the mean of average intelligence at higher rates than males. On average women are slightly more intelligent as a sex but have less brilliant individuals and also less ultra low ability ones. That's the real world....Not the PC one that's infected with 'feelings' and value judgements around intelligence due to nonsense notions of equality.....When fairness and facts are what should reign.

Like a said, Transgender James Bond is a great story / movie waiting to be told. Just making a Bond film which has a transgendered or female bond, that acts like every other Bond is boring. #liveandnotguy #thecockisnotenough #youonlychangegendertwice.

The films did not really compliment the series as they do not adhere to Dr Who canon. For example, The Doctor is human and his surname is 'Who'. In the episode with Paul Mcgann he is half human but they seem to have gotten away with that.
