This is officially the most brilliant article ever

...and all of you who have even the slightest interest in Buffy Summers should go read it now. It's attacking the idea of Buffy being whiny, and the whole thing made me want to shout, "YES!"

It's been posted at [livejournal.com profile] ontd_feminism, but there are only 14 comments at the moment and they already make me upset, so I thought I'd post it here so we could have a friendlier discussion where we don't have to defend our love of the later seasons and of Spike and whatever else is being bashed over there.

So! Go forth and read it! You'll be glad you did!

Yeah, that's probably why you were. I have some pull with one of the mods, though; I'll see if I can talk to her. No guarantees, though--I don't know what the rules are.

I reapplied. But I doubt I'll hear back very soon. But at least now I have a couple of journal entries. And one entry even has the word misogyny in the title. So... you know, that should help, right?

If I'm allowed to join this time, at least I'll be prepared for the next Buffy-related post there.
