Well, the world is vastly counted in favour of men at every level - except if you live in a civilised country and youโre sort of educated and middle-class, because then youโre almost certainly junior in your relationship and in a state of permanent, crippled apology. Your preferences are routinely mocked. Thereโs a huge, unfortunate lack of respect for anything male.
Steven MoffatThe story of Sherlock Holmes, on the surface, is about detection, but in reality, it's about the best of two men who save each other - a lost, washed-up war hero and a man who could end up committing murders instead of solving them. They come together. They become this perfect unit. They become the best friendship ever, and they become heroes. That's what we fall in love with, not Sherlock on his own. No one can love that man on his own, but Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson - the best friends ever.
