One of the main criticisms I hear against Moffat is that he's a sexist. The statements he makes about his characters all seem to point to him believing that women are for sex and babies. Period.

So, when I see that one of the major plot points in this season is that Amy is pregnant, I'm annoyed. It's not that I have a problem with babies or pregnancy (I happily read babyfic), it's that I expect it from Moffat. I want Moffat to break out of this idea of women's lives revolving around finding a husband and getting pregnant. That, while pregnancy and motherhood is wonderful, it's not the sum total of what we, as women, are. I want Moffat to surprise me. I want a well-rounded female character. Right now, Amy is a leggy cardboard cutout. Which is weird since the series appears to be revolving around her right now.
