Moffat Writes Sexist Sherlock?

The Guardian Web thing has a rather fun article on the most recent Sherlock episode, the Moffat re-imagining of A Scandal In Bohemia.  Jane Clare Jones argues that Moffat mishandles his woman characters and it shows particularly here.  "While Conan Doyle's original is hardly an exemplar of gender evolution, you've got to worry when a woman comes off worse in 2012 than in 1891."
