Sure, no problem, slides bottle of Brain-o across the forum.
So, why do you write these strong female characters?
Because you're still asking me that question.

I would like to say that my wife, herself a feminist, read this article and stopped a quarter of the way through in disgust. Her comment to me was that the author is in no way in touch with true empowerment and is simply just someone who wants to be angry for the sake of being angry.
Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.

OK, I'm a feminist, and I'm ready to jump all over fiction (or reality) that treat ladies poorly. But there's no need to go inventing stuff that doesn't exist!
This woman's got some hard core filters on, and she ain't seeing reality. Poor thing. Life must suck for her, if she sees something as brilliant and ground-breaking as Firefly the way she does.
Still, it bugs me that she calls herself a feminist. I hope all you Y chromosomes out there don't think we're all insane! I'll stand up for girls when they're treated poor, but the same goes for boys. The vast majority of men are good folks - as any decent feminist knows. The woman who wrote this blog is something else entirely.

I'm a human rights activist, she's.....whacko.
The southerners on the forum are about to start laughing....
Bless her heart...her momma didn't raise her well.
She just doesn't know any better.

When she said that Joss rapes his wife, not only did I want to throw up, but I want to do one of two things: either I want to make sure Joss never knows that people think this about him because he doesn't deserve that, or I want to make sure he knows her full name and address so he can sue her for libel.

Ok, I'm a bit of a feminist and I have some fairly serious feminist friends they can't stand this type of feminazi. This is the type that wants physical standards for firefighters to be lowered so there are more women in the job, regardless of the fact that people's lives depend on those standards. Gives the rest of us a bad name.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just put all the world's extremists together on an island and let them fight it out while the rest of us go about our lives?
Also, I couldn't get past the duct tape part. Just too much unreasonable anger and distortion.

Really the fire departments don't already do that? I know the Army's PT requirements are much less for women then mens (almost to the point where I think it should be offensive to women). I think that's a problem, especially considering the fact that many women in the military are being forced into actual combat situations (currently women aren't allowed in front line units to my knowledge) because of the asymmetrical nature of the conflicts going on today. Bad for them, bad for the men in their units.

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.

My understanding is that some do and some don't. It's not something I've checked into recently because it pi***s me off. If you don't have the strenght to haul my fat, unconcsious butt out of a burning building you shouldn't get that job. That's not equality. It's patronizing and it's stupid. That aplies to the military as well.
