Celebrities Who Participated In The Women’s March

Peter Capaldi Brings Dr. Who Dimension

It seems even more appropriate that Dr. Who connections would find their way into the Women’s March since the show has been incredibly empowering to female characters. There have and will likely always be those claims, though, that the idea of a time lord plucking a young companion out from the depths of obscurity and taking her on a journey through time and space is misogynist and just, well, idiotic.

As for Peter Capaldi, he’s already addressed at least some of the sexism and ageism on the Dr. Who set. He’s already well-established in his career, so it’s also very quite possible (even likely) that he’d face no obvious repercussions for speaking out. But, he’s also a serious actor, which means he knows that it does him no real favors to have a young woman ridiculously draping herself round him. It wouldn’t really be a truly epic event without the Doctor, though.
