It's true. Has anyone seen a pre-2000 Disney film. I'm from the U.S., so my view is a bit biased, but women are socialized to be needy. We're told, when we're little. that we have to be ladies, that we can't have sex, and one day our prince will come on his white horse and we'll live happily ever after. I remember, as a kid, that all the girls played princess and princes, house, and married themselves to boys that were like, "wtfbbqkthxbai.
It's definitely not true in my case. I was never told to be needy or a lady and I honestly can't think of anyone who brought up that way. I was a tomboy and more interested in playing with toy guns (which my dad made from wood) and cars than marriage and babies. I would try to play more like girl and got bored very quickly.
I'm not going to get worked up over a fictional programme when women are really suffering in the world. I also don't want to judge Moffat as being sexist from just those two comments, which seem to be taken out of context.
