That's why we love Morse. He might be from another era and did not share our modern enlightened view of gender stereotypes. He even openly admitted that he might be too old to change his view. Yet, he was fully capable of keeping things civilized. He listened carefully, quietly, to what others have to say, even if he disagreed. And he was not above apologising for misspeaking, something too many people in this day and age fail to do.
Morse is saying that women, to him at least, represent the more reasonable and delicate qualities of the human race. It's men who lose their cool and go off doing silly things and women who talk sense into them.
I found that Morse handled it rather well. He would be considered by many as a dinosaur, but he is of his own generation. He could have pulled rank on the constable as well, because, although her opinion was important, she was not able to express it in a mature manner. She was, in my opinion, rather rude and judgemental towards him. Morse, in my opinion, is not a misogynist, but just has little or no understanding of what women are really like!
What a timely comment! I teach in a unit for children, many of whom have experienced neglect and abuse. Am I alone in feeling that it is wrong for anyone, let alone children, to express the feelings and desires one might associate with rapists and serial killers ?
One of the best scenes in this very sinister (and somewhat underrated) episode. Both of them are in the wrong, Morse is careless in his language, and she can’t express her point of view in a properly professional manner. I don’t think it’s controversial to say that the whole episode hinges around this battle of the sexes, it’s hardly a coincidence that she’s the one who pulls the trigger on Barrie.
DI Natalie Chandler is a prison doctor? This female copper is quite hot here they should have made her a detective instead of keeping her as a pc. She went to play another wpc in Frost
A much loved detective series, unfortunately marred, in my view, by scenes like this that showed 'Political Correctness' beginning to raise its ugly head and didn't do women or the feminist cause any favours. Broadcast on 13 January 1993 - it shows its age and agenda.
The earlier episodes were considerably more focused, on crime that is. How to catch the killer(s). Still this scene is a drop in the ocean to what TV shows are filled with today.

Speak for your self about modern enlightened view of gender stereotypes

Couldn’t agree more with everything that morse said
Sadly this is an insight to the easily offended society of today.
Yep
I know and this from 1993
The Inspector didn't go wrong what's that exam question about at the end of video?

It was inexcusable even if it was unintentional
He didn't.
Morse is right.

You are so right! What a wonderfully English embarrassment.
Good Lord. Is this for some sort of gender class at university? heehee

Thirty years to the day it was broadcast, and still as gripping now as it was then. John Thaw was incredibly magnificent.
