I am still very mad at the people complaining about Amy in Comic Relief.

Everyone is saying that she is too sexy to be a companion and there are some people calling her a slut.
Funny thing is, I don’t see them doing it to Jack. And Amy *IS* the female version of Jack.
What is so wrong about women being sexy?About women flirting? About wearing mini skirts and making jokes about it?
I’m sorry fandom, but I’m pretty sure that Jack would flirt with himself and I’m extremely positive that ALL-OF-YOU would love it.

Very interesting example of the double-standard.
‘Zactly. When Amy’s profession was revealed as “kissogram” people were bitching like madness about how sexist that is. Er… is it? Because here was I thinking it was just a job, which can be carried out by any gender. There’s nothing innately sexist about a job. The Doctor’s actually got his kit off (to quote the Moff) twice more than Amy in the last season… because Amy never got her kit off at all.
Jack got as close as you get can get pre-watershed to actually being called a slut (he even hid a gun up his arse, it’s an unspoken fact), kissed/flirted with everything that was sentient and legal, and Rose (and Martha, and Donna, and that guy in ‘Utopia’, and Chan’tho, and… everybody) found him attractive, but that was amusing. Amy wears a short skirt, flirts with herself and is considered attractive by a number of male characters, and that’s a problem?
