I'm not exactly forgiving it, it's just that there are a few different things at play, here. Moffat is not the only writer, for one thing. Two, I think he's got a chance to learn, if he is willing to listen. He doesn't seem to be one of these hateful, raging misogynists spewing slurs and trying to take away our rights (reproductive rights, sexual rights, free speech, etc. He's not out there trying to get laws changed to further oppress women, the way a lot of people actually are.)
He's just ignorant, with a lot of internalized misogyny. People can, and sometimes do, learn from being called out repeatedly.
So I have some hope! It's going to take a while, and he needs to choose to change, but hey. You never know.
