Very telling was the dalek shell mistranslating clara, and Missy has a daughter???

. Clara' frustration at screaming and not being heard somehow chimed with real world issues, though I'm not sure which ones - it was a bit like you'd imagine a deaf or autistic person perhaps .

as an autistic person myself, i see where you're coming from, however, being sat in a asc shell, neuro-typical people see emoting where none is intended rather than the dalek shell reducing the outgoing emotional content... Stop me if i start making sense

Clara held her own somewhat with Missy, but yes, on some counts you’re right. If the Doctor in their usual male presentation, or a male incarnation of the Master, did to Clara half the things that Missy did, people would screech. Whereas if Clara or Missy did those things to any male character, it’s “hilarious”.
There’s a double standard in entertainment and in society, sadly. We’ve got to work to change things so all people really can be presented equally.
