Yes, mentioning Danny Pink was right out of order.
It must have made half the audience want to throw up their Christmas lunch!

Capaldi must have it in his contract that Clara slaps him in every episode. Lucky guy.

Just re-watched the slap scene and noticed that Clara slaps the doctor on the left cheek but the doctor holds his hand to his right cheek.
Obviously, this mistake means that Peter Capaldi doesn't actually get slapped. |

^Haha! I agree. I had a pretty good stash of presents this year but I'd trade 'em all for a good hard slap from Clara.

It is wrong if men can't and shouldnt be violent towards women women should not be violent towards men. Other ways of expressing feelings even bad ones or putting a point across .

Possibly although I find the question a bit iffy. Would we be saying that Clara was asking for it if he hit her? I find it odd that he never retaliates or looks close to be violent towards her; I think that would redress the balance.
Moffat seems to have a real hard-on for this. It makes me wonder if he invested in any luxury dungeon sessions this festive season Amy was basically a domestic abuser to Rory, and now Clara gets in on it too. Slapping is not a sign of a 'Strong Woman' and it's yet another un-healthy message for watching kids.

But Clara is different. If Amy slapped me, I'd slap her back! If Clara slapped me, I'd beg for more! |

I agree. If a male character treated a female the way Amy treated Rory, he'd be seen as an abusive, chauvinist pig.

The porn actress Sabrina Johnson was in a quandary about the acceptability of slapping in porn as it was clearly abuse, but she found it quite arousing.

If Clara slapped me, I'd beg for more! ![]() Just once, when she slapped him round the back of the head and said "Rory, you idiot!", he should've grabbed her by her stupid ginger locks and slammed her against a wall. Then, pushing his face right up against hers, he could snarl; "Don't you dare EVER slap me again, tramp! I know you betrayed me! I know you tried to sleep with the Doctor on the night before our wedding, Scottish strumpet! Do you think I waited 2,000 years for THIS?!! Do you know how long that is?! Do you know how many women I could've had in that time?! Two-freakin-Millennia and you treat me like sh**! Well, I'm not having it anymore! Do ya hear me?! You better start showing me some long overdue respect or I swear I'll put you back in that box! I reckon Amy would become nicer after that... or leave him. Hard to say. |

The ease with which Moffat writes his female characters being violent/unpleasant towards the male characters is something I find profoundly distasteful. Who knows, maybe in series 9 the Doctor will give Clara a back-hander (you know, in the name of equality) and tell her not to touch him again, but somehow I doubt it. |

The sensible person in me thinks that it's a disgrace these females keep abusing their male counterparts with it being made to look funny and the woman to be strong and feisty. But the severe perv in me would love the regular slaps from both Clara and Amy along with other tailored methods.

Not sure Clara deserves a backhander.... yet. But it would be interesting to take things old-school; like in black-&-white films when the woman becomes hysterical and the man slaps her back to sanity. Ahh... the good old days...

I always saw it as Amy never really liked let alone loved Rory but as The Doctor didn't want her in that way he would have to do and lets face it who else would put up with her. But she seemed to want to punish Rory because he wasn't The Doctor. I have always said though if Rory treated Amy the way she treated him there would be complaints from viewers and domestic abuse charities. Even my Mum who watched a bit who was a batted wife said Amy was nothing more than a domestic abuser |
