Actually what stands out to me is that to them sexy is only something that happens when a woman is under-dressed. Hmmm. Good point. Although finding an actual cyberman sexy would be... difficult.
Which is lucky for men because they are very rarely as scantily dressed as women are. True. But we're getting there, slowly. ;) (Hi there Poldark!) Of course the power balance is still not right, as men don't lose power by undressing, but still.
I'm also rather disturbed by their discussion of how she looked threatening and scary depite being in that ridiculous outfit given that they cast a black actress in that role. I think this is somewhat of a cultural divide. She was scary because she was emotionless and super-strong. Not that we don't have issues of racism, but I don't think that played into it. (The actress didn't seem bothered by any of it, thinking that it was a pretty neat outfit.) Of course I don't know how it was perceived by black people, so if someone wants to weigh in, please do so. I can't speak for others.
