最近快要创下900万收视的BBC的《神探夏洛克》圣诞特辑《邪恶的新娘》，被指责是穿成三K党(美国历史上和现在的一个奉行白人至上主义的民间组织,也是美国种族主义的代表性组织)的女权主义者。犯罪小说作家戴维·休森说：“难道在写剧本的时候就没有人问：为什么女权主义者们要戴亮紫色的三K党的帽子吗?”

　　该剧的制片人在受到指责后表明，支持妇女运动的人来自于那些被男人伤害过想要复仇的妇女们。

　　艾琳·温教授在一次星期日泰晤士报中说：“打扮得像三K党的人结果却是女权主义者。我很生气。这个编剧对女性有歧视。他们根本不给女人像样点的角色。”

　　另一个观众抱怨说，《神探夏洛克》圣诞特辑没有通过贝克德尔测验。这项测试，也叫做莫电影衡量标准，有三个标准：一部电影或电视剧中必须至少有两个女人，她们必须互相说过话，而且谈话内容必须有关男人以外的事情。该剧定位于1895年，其中的历史错误也激怒了历史学家们。国内第一个女权团体——全国妇女选举权协会到1897年才成立。

　　在社交媒体上，也有许多人在推特上表达了他们对于从19世纪的英国穿越到现代，还有个超现实的梦境的故事情节的困惑。

　　《神探夏洛克》的编剧史提芬·莫法特否认了对他性别歧视的指责。“我认为批评一个节目是一件事，而给不懂心理学的编剧捏造动机，然后指责他有这种观点，是另外一件事，”他告诉《威尔斯在线》说。

　　“这不是真的，对于福尔摩斯这个角色而言，他被认为是厌女者，这一点很有趣。”

　　“我当然没有性别歧视，歧视女性是不对的。”

　　“他不是厌女;事实上，福尔摩斯的原型中有个线索就是不管他说什么，他都不能容忍任何人残忍地对待女性，他实际上因此变得义愤填膺。”

　　BBC回应批评说：“《神探夏洛克》达到了830万收视新高，成为了今日收视冠军，略高于《伦敦东区》。”

　　这部由本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇主演的侦探系列电视剧的收视率在圣诞节那天也击败了720万收视的《女王》。

　　The Abominable Bride, BBC's New Year's Day Sherlock special which was watched by nearly 9m, has been criticised for dressing suffragettes up in Ku Klux Klan-style hoods. Crime writer David Hewson said: "Did no one at script stage ask: Why are suffragettes wearing shiny purple Klan hats?"

　　The show's producers were also censured for suggesting that the votes for women movement came from women who wanted revenge on men who had wronged them.

　　Lecturer Elin Wyn said in a Sunday Times report: "People dressed up like the KKK turned out to be suffragettes. I was very angry. The writers are quite misogynist. They don't give women decent roles at all."

　　Another viewer complained that the Sherlock special had failed the Bechdel Test. This test, also called the Mo Movie Measure, has three criteria: A film or TV show must have at least two women in it; they must talk to each other, and it must be about something other than a man.

　　Historians were also angered by inaccuracies in the show which was set in 1895. The first united national suffrage group, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies was not founded until 1897.

　　On social media, many also tweeted their confusion over the storyline which wandered from 19th-century England to the modern day and also included a surreal dream sequence.

　　Sherlock writer Steven Moffat denied he held sexist views. "I think it's one thing to criticise a programme and another thing to invent motives out of amateur psychology for the writer and then accuse him of having those feelings," he told Wales Online.

　　"I'm certainly not a sexist, a misogynist and it was wrong.

　　"It's not true and in terms of the character Sherlock Holmes, it is interesting. He has been referred to as being a bit misogynist.

　　"He's not; the fact is one of the lovely threads of the original Sherlock Holmes is whatever he says, he cannot abide anyone being cruel to women – he actually becomes incensed and full of rage."

　　The BBC responded to the criticism by saying: "The Sherlock viewing figures were the highest of the day, slightly ahead of EastEnders, which achieved 8.3m."

　　The detective series starring Benedict Cumberbatch also beat viewing figures for the Queen's speech on Christmas Day, which drew in 7.2m people.
