Heh, you've got that right, they sure don't!
do you think it would have worked, if the P.M. had been male?

Because women are judged far more on appearance than men, and there's still a lot of gender inequality, men still don't tend to regard women as fellow human beings. Anyway, it felt very sexist to me, and that if it had been a male P.M., it wouldn't have worked, the Doctor would have had to do more to topple him.

Yes. He had no right to interfere. If Sycorax can't assume authority over Earth people, then neither should Gallifreyans!
