When Martha said this, it wasn’t because she was a bitch, or she had a superiority complex, or she was self-centred.
Can we all remember for a moment what Martha did for the Doctor?
She spent six months working as a maid in 1913 England.
A medical student, from a time when, while racism existed, she was recognized as intelligent and capable and a human being.
She worked. In an utterly racist society. AS A MAID. For six months. For him.
Then, when he got kidnapped and aged by the Master, instead of giving up, she gave a WHOLE YEAR to walking around and telling the whole world how good the Doctor was, and how much he deserved their trust. If she hadn’t, the world wouldn’t have made it. Everyone would be dead. If not for Martha Jones.
She saved Shakespeare’s life. She kept the Doctor alive from the Judoons on MARS before she even knew who he was. She fought off aliens and broke an anti-aging machine, fighting her family’s disapproval all the way.
And through all of that, the Doctor never loved her.
Not that that was his fault. I’ve posted about this before. But still.
He didn’t love her.
And she loved him.
And she’d given her whole self up to him.
At this moment, she does the bravest thing any human being can do. She realizes she’s in a relationship that’s unfair to her, and so she walks away.
If knowing my own self-worth and demanding respect from the people I love makes me a bitch, then I don’t want to be anything else.

I never get tired of this photo.
Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of Ella’s biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:
“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

Sixsmith, I do hope you will be able to find it in your heart to forgive me.
