One would certainly hope. I don't know that we can make that leap, though; you'd think that if his feminist mother's influence had really made a difference, he wouldn't so often resort to issues of questionable consent in his writings?

Yes?

I mean, Joss is telling a story, first and foremost. The narrative comes first for him. So, yeah, he would resort to issues of questionable consent, even while having a basic feminist understanding of it. I mean, I use questionable consent in stories I write.

I don't think we can evaluate Joss' feminist learnings on the basis of his works of fictions. They're works of fiction, not a thesis.
