That is so enlightening, I'd never seen just how terrible Firefly was. Thank You!!
You're welcome! If I'm opening people's eyes to the evil misandry of this show, then I've done my job.
Shindig must be about the most sexist episode of the series
Personally, I think that "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (forced marriage) and "Heart of Gold" (amazingly stupid male villain who likes to be enslaved, at least in my version) can be figured out to be the most man-hating. :D (Or "War Stories" for the torture or "Trash" for the nakedness.) Just finished "Shindig" -- right here
BAD? His parents gave him the name of BAD? This level of man-hating HORRIFIES me!! Why didn't they just name him Constant Disappointment or Broken Condom or I Wish That You Had Been A Girl?!?!?!
Well, now I feel bad for our "hero." I'm renaming him Magical Flower in an attempt to bolster his self-esteem. At least one male should have it!
LOLOLOLOL! You have continued with your brilliant analysis of "Firefly." *nods firmly* And you've made some majorly on target inferences from whatever interviews you watched. Simply amazing.
That quote and "I found the episode so appalling that I watched it FOUR MORE TIMES!! That's how bad it is!!" is almost verbatim from Crazy Womyn (or from my memory of what CW said), I think. I don't want to do a direct protest against CW anymore, but it is hard to avoid going back to that fountain of crazy for inspiration. :D

Now you've made me think though, Shindig must be about the most sexist episode of the series, so I can't wait to see your analysis of that!

Inferring crazy things from interviews is a great art. It totally reveals how disturbed the makers of the show are! Yep yep.

OMFG! I love you. I know you said it wasn't a direct stab at Crazy Womyn anymore, but dude--that sounds exactly like something she's liable to use.
