The more I think about how Moffat writes all his women with the same formula, the angrier I get

All main/significant Moffat women that I can think of do this: 

Over time they become selfish after being ‘strong sassy sexually confident’ women.

  They all start out in a similar way. They’re confident, flirtatious, highly sexual, and able to outsmart the guy, but despite that they are totally emotional and weak when it comes to said guys which ultimately destroys who they initially were. 

 They become dishonest, hypocritical, and ultimately unable to function solo despite how they’re always introduced as the strong independant woman who doesn’t need a man. 

The moment a man comes in to the picture, it’s a Moffat woman’s job to prove herself worthy or superior to these supermen (sherlock, the doctor)

Amy, Clara, Irene, Riversong, Mary

Think about it.

They all follow the same exact pattern.

This guy can’t write anything outside of the same formula, and it works maybe once, like in “The Girl in the Fireplace” with Madam de Pompadour. But guess what, she’s still the same way and the only reason she didn’t go down the path of dishonest flip-floppy emotional behavior was because she was spared being part of the series by being killed. Still, ultimately, she was relying on a man despite her apparent confidence.
