Yeah, sure come up with all sorts of reasons but it comes down to not wanting a character to come down with girl cooties. Which is all sorts of amusingly sad.

That had not actually occurred to me. My point was not that they had a female Time Lord in charge (Romana would have made a good Doctor), but that the female incarnation of the actual Doctor would also be affected by the Time War experiences.

Your comment (quoted) would certainly apply to many of the posters on Gallifrey Forum and elsewhere ...
