OH MY GOD...

This woman is freaking crazy!

Warning, this may hurt your soul if you read it.

In addition, this woman is screening her comments, thus banning/not showing anything that doesn't agree with her POV. Essentially, anyone who doesn't agree with her is considered phobic or woman-hating.

It's women like this that give feminists a bad name.

I posted this comment in another post about the same topic, but it bears repeating, so...

I find her contentions absolutely appalling, and her frequent tendency to veer from even the most minimally scholarly track into libel and conjecture is so far beyond offensive that I can't find the words.

The part I like best is in the comments where she concludes that all heterosexual relationships are rape.

Yeah. Sure thing. I would like to thank her for insulting the real victims of rape, who know firsthand what is and isn't coercive and violent. (And let's not forget the fact that women are not the only gender to suffer sexual violence...and men aren't the only gender that perpetrates it)

Thank you!

And I bet she's one of those women who feels she's very enlightened, and because she's an "oppressed minority, she can't be biased.

Yet her claims about interracial couples? Disgusting. I just... I want to find her and shake her until her brain starts working again.

I'm just so disgusted by what she said, so irate that I just... probably shouldn't have posted that, since just got me all fired up again.

I so wanna email that to Joss Whedon so she can be sued for libel. Because writing out that a guy must be a rapist? I think that would piss off any decent man.

I may not be the biggest fan in the world of Joss Whedon's writing skills, but I definitely stop short of accusing him of criminal and morally reprehensible behaviour in his personal life. This woman is so far out of line that she is completely unable to even see the line anymore.

A woman actually made the same point, quite eloquently, referring to her own rape as a child. One of the responses to that comment (by another commenter, the initial author never commented on it) about how she tried to make the same point regarding rape twice, and both times the comments were banned.

This woman is just as narrow minded as Jerry Fallwell.

[spacewhore]

Yeah, she's pretty bad. I see some of her points, but she's way beyond radical. Fucking feminazi's.

I left a rather tame comment, but I think (hopefully) I got the point across that her views are way skewed and biased.

[batmanvinnie]

She deleted your comment.

I discovered you pretty much have to suck up to her before your "but" in order to get posted.

I've been using this comment a lot today, but she's just as narrow minded as Jerry Fallwell.

[spacewhore]

Yeah, what a bitch. Seriously, my comment was really respectful even though I disagreed with her. Whatevs...

*twitches in paroxyms of anger*

I'll admit that I've never understood it when people label Joss Whedon's stuff as feminist, but damn.

I like the comment that one woman left about writing, that many of the things in the writing of the show are made to cause conflict, and that just because you write about them doesn't mean you're AOKAY with everything. The hero of my book is also a drug addict. Does that mean I think drug use is awesome? NO. But you know what it creates? Conflict.

The thing that killed me was where she said Inara services the other crew members by being emotionally suportive. Why is being emotionally supportive a fault? Is it a fault only because she's a woman?

*breathes slowly*

I'm done now, and I still like the show.

[macaroni_thief]

Er, *paroxysms* I can totally spell today. ;)

[batmanvinnie]

I think the shows are referred to as feminist because in the shows, it's the women who often hold the power, like how River is the smartest, Zoe is the strong one, Saffron is the one enemy who is the most challenging, Buffy is the strongest, and Willow is the most powerful. I mean, sure, the girls are all pretty and thin and dress girly, though I guess that is an ideal of feminism in that a woman is allowed to be whatever she wants to be, and if that is a kick ass chick who wears pink, then so be it.

I just got so mad because she was mad at people making the world masculine, and yet she's making women more helpless by saying we're all so twisted by society that we can't make our own decisions. Like her idea of how any hetero sex is rape, because apparently we're so brainwashed that we can't decide to have sex.

Gr....

[serialbathera]

I couldn't even get past the first paragraph...so horrible... people like that drive me crazy.

[batmanvinnie]

Oh, so then you missed the part about her declaring all interracial relationships as being horrible, and that all hetero sex is rape.

Apparently she feels that all heterosexual women are so far brainwashed that we only think we want to have sex with men.

She's just as narrow minded as Jerry Fallwell.

[serialbathera]

::blinks hard:: WTF.... I am glad I didn't read it....that is horrible...

crazy people

[batmanvinnie]

It is.

And I shall speak of this no more.
