Yeah, I get that. I just think it's fucked up. I have at times strongly disliked female characters, but only because I resented the way they were written. Like I totally hated Nurse Chapel in the original Star Trek, but it wasn't because she interfered with my Kirk/Spock. It was because she was written as a wimpy, sentimental fool, and I deeply resented her representing my sex.
I generally just try to avoid fanwriters who bash women. But I consider character bashing a somewhat separate issue from general woman bashing, if that makes any sense. This episode wasn't bashing any particular female character, it was more about women as a whole, or at least their sexuality. I think the interlude with Sam and the doctor was put there to soften it a bit, but it didn't work for me because I felt she was saying, see I don't hate all women, just the slutty ones, and that bugs me.
