Er... you do know that pretty much all the other writers and actors involved admit that the AR came directly out of Marti Noxon's own (self-admitted) life experience... and that she admits to having been the aggressor? All she did was gender-flip the situation.

I'm unclear over whether or not she understood what that gender swap would do to the sexual politics of it. But...yeah... it skeeves me. Both her foisting it on the characters and her having confessed this sordid tale to the writers room while admitting she was the agreessor.
