I'll betcha ten bucks she has her friendly "Bob" with her constantly, and screams out the name JAYNE! at the appropriate time. "Women" like this are always hypocrites.

Good grief! That's so over the top it seems like parody. She totally misunderstood Zoe (Of course she calls Mal "sir"! Even though they aren't in the military anymore. Old habits die hard.) Don't remember Mal telling Zoe to shut up in the pilot episode. My thoughts on Inara are more complicated: I cringe everytime Mal calls her a whore, but other than that I totally disagree with her assesment. Odd she barely mentions River: I was expecting her to criticize early-series River as a helpless white child-woman "damsel in distress". :eyeroll:

Wow...just...wow.

I actually can't think of an adequate way to describe this, other than sad. She completely ignored the wonderful messages in the show in order to support her own extremely distorted viewpoint. I feel badly for her.

There is a saying: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, pretty soon every problem looks like a nail."

When someone starts from the position "All men are worthless pigs, all women should be powerful lesbian ass-kickers" then anything that doesn't conform to this view is wrong and can never be anything but oppression.

I have friends that got really into activism (I am being purposefully vague here, it is not their view I am trying to make a point about.) It got to the point every topic came back around to what they were activists about. You could not talk to them about movies, cars, clothes without it winding around to their particular activist topic.

This rant is an extreme view of that. The author cannot distinguish jokes from serious dialog, ignores compassion on the part of the "hated group" (men) and shrilly criticizes anything outside her worldview of "should be's" (women in power kicking mens asses.)

As a member of the last ethnic group it's still politically correct to bash (white men) I see this in one form or another all the time, from little comments of co-workers to blaring at me from main-stream media. It is refreshing and very, very cool to see this crap given NO weight in the 'verse.

Thanks everyone.

Well, in a world where we are distracted by such petty irrelevances such as genital mutilation and "honour" killings, it's good to see that some people have got their priorities right. Not.

Is this the author of that blog? :-

Perhaps she should see her Doctor to balance out her medications. That was one of the most insane postings I hace ever read. There has got to be something seriously wrong inside.
