All this feminism stuff is getting a bit ridiculous now.

Ok but you literally said "people who have watched the show for longer than the revival will know it was a male and should always be a male", which kinda suggests you know what they all think and that those of us who like the idea are only fans of the revived series. I've been a fan of the show for as long as I can remember and have watched most of the existing classic episodes.

As for the Ghostbuster analogy, it's not really relevant, is it? I thought the movie was pretty crap. But it's quality was down to the poor writing. Just like if Jodie Whittiker is not sucessful, it will be down to poor stories or acting ability, not the fact that she's a woman. In addition, there have been sucessful recastings of male parts: Judi Dench as M in James Bond, for example.
