I don't want to derail, but I believe there is an underlying long-running element of misogyny in RTD's work - after all, we are talking about the man who wrote a scene in which a woman is reduced to a face embedded in a paving stone and she's then awarded to her boyfriend, who uses her for blow-jobs. That does not justify writing repellent stories about him, or homophobia, nor does the fact that he a misogynist give anyone the right to claim he's a homophobe, but I did want to point out that "nine hysterical women" was a comment made under stress,but not a comment made in isolation - there's a body of work behind it.
