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!

The X/W business in s3 is my least favorite relationship-shaped thing the show has ever done. God, it made me like the two of them so much less. I'm not wholly sure my esteem of them has ever recovered, not that they were ever that close to my heart.
