I'm one of the admins there. To answer your question, firstly the article itself is a rant and not a pleasant one either. Secondly and more importantly the author of the article accuses Joss of raping his wife on the comments section of her LJ entry. So I have no desire to see this piece of crap linked at Whedonesque. It's nasty and nauseating and I will quite happily delete it if it keeps getting posted.

While I've heard of hard-core feminism, I never knew what that meant. Now I understand.

Total. Whackos.




Feminazi is the term. Rush was not making this stuff up.

Your right what a bitch.
This lady needs to get a life and a sense of humor. I mean if you don't like something, leave it alone and gees i thought Joss Wheedon's female characters where very strong headed unique individuals that won't take shit anyway.
Tell her to go watch little women, that would be more her taste and all she could handle.

I think Joss is the best writer out there and if we were going to pick on writers, i always wondered what Steven King would be if he didn't write books.It's called entertainment, you like it or you don't.

By the way, i got the comic today and i want more more more.I love it so very very very much. I could've sat down and read something bigger than a Harry Potter book.

God bless Joss Wheedon

I agree. Women like her give women a bad name. I hate it when people like her try to talk on behalf of the rest of us. She needs to be duct taped and shoved in a hole for 2 months

that wasn't christian like thinking but it just shows how angry i am at her

Just finished readign through her screed, and aside from needing some brain bleach to burn out her ignorance her problem with the show would be solved if she understood the application of two things Saracasm and Irony but alas she has fallen victim to the condition my favorite talk show host Stephanie Miller calls "Stick up the Butt(or pigu liberal. Simply put nothing is funny and everything is taken at face value, what a sad way to view to world.

So, why do you write these strong female characters?

Because you're still asking me that question.

Could you please pass me a bit of that brain bleach if you happen to have any to spare. I'd like to bleach that post of hers right out of my mind.
