hey were equals, pretty much--moreso than in the first Romana I episode, where he was constantly throwing her inexperience in her face.
True--though it only took a few stories before she was throwing it right back at him, which was great (I think the scene I'm thinking of is in "The Pirate Planet," where she's reading the TARDIS manual and he's telling her she's going to blow up the ship. It's where my "pessimistic" mood icon is from, for whatever little that's worth).
you've been away from the ivory tower for too long, haven't you? *g*
Heh. Possibly--though not thinking that's a bad thing! :) I don't recall everyone being worked up to a lather over sexism when I was in college, though--some profs, but not all (we still had the Freudians making everything phallic, because you know, it's ALL about sex), so maybe I managed to avoid it? Hmm. Good question!
(Totally OT: Just noticed A Passage to India on your reading list. LOVE that book, though it's been ages since I read it!)
