Why the Doctor SHOULDN'T be a woman.

I came across this video today.

And I have to admit, it makes some good points. It would be interesting to see the Doctor as a woman and it would give a sense of equality to the genders. Shaking Doctor Who up like that would be cool and thought provoking. The feminist part of me rejoices in equal gender roles and a chance for the show to cater to the mainly female fan base. But there are equally good reason why the Doctor should stay a man.

1. The Doctor is, at heart, a man. The twelve reincarnations of the Doctor have all been male and all the reincarnations have similarities. Yes, each Doctor is different, but each is part of his past and a part of him. He is, at his, core a man.
2. He thinks like a man. While this is part of the whole the Doctor-is-a-man-at-heart, it deserves its own number because of the significance is has. All the Doctor's decisions are made like a male. Its how he operates. If you throw a woman into that, I highly doubt that it would be the same person.
3. Can you honestly imagine the Doctor as a man? I can. Its would be hilarious at first, as she found her way around her new body (wow, that felt weird to type...) and she learned to think and act like a woman. But over time, it would be weird and annoying.
4. Moffat can not write a good female character. Listen, I love/hate Moffat. But he can not write a good female! Examples:
   Amy Pond-Overall pretty awesome, but there are plenty of discrepancies in her character and her relationship with the Doctor is weird.... She has a husband, but she wants to kiss the Doctor at her own wedding. Who does that?! Also Rory is like her babysitter, he has to make sure she doesn't do something stupid.
    River Song- She started out as amazing and badass and I love her, but by the end of her storyline, it was mostly her marriage to the Doctor which made her special. Seriously, spin off with just River Song kicking people's butts=AMAZINGNESS.
   Clara Oswin Oswald- Although she is the best female Moffat has created, in my humble opinion, the reason she is so great isn't Moffat per se. Its Jenna Louise Coleman. The character Clara is half baked and confusing. Nowhere fully formed. But JLC manages to bring definitely personality to her. Something that the other actresses haven't done, they mostly follow along with Moffat's script and the character is unreliable and changeable. Clara is the same. Sassy, takes-crap-from-no-one, compassionate, and sometimes sensitive. Overall though, her character is rather lacking. And this is from someone who LOVES Clara! Whouffle forever!

So my verdict is, while it would be awesome, the Doctor should not be a woman.

Although a spin off show would be completely  acceptable....
