Projection Room Voices: Again? I thought you were through with these after the first one.

ZeldaQueen: Yeah, but the first sporking was so therapeutic that I just had to work things out with this other one.

Male feminists are unicorns? How very Freudian.

XD How hilarious, especially given that Allecto picks that stuff out with a fine-toothed comb.

I think the whole "unicorn" thing makes me angrier more than anything else. I'm a man, and I've read some feminist works, and am looking for more in order to be more knowledgeable about it. I was raised by women and even when I was a high schooler I was disturbed by the misogyny of the guys around me. So, apparently I'm a unicorn. I just- that -what! *tugs at his hair* Keep it together, man!

And oh yeah, so apparently the only correct love is lesbian love, but homosexuality is worthy of derision. Now she's a homophobe, too!

Don't feel too bad. By her reasoning, I'm a "feminist lite" and an "Athena". Because I have a boyfriend and don't hate my father, I'm simply brainwashed by the patriarchy. Don't let it bother you. :) Insane folks gonna be insane.

I suspect her hatred of male-on-male homosexuality is just more of her men issues at work, and I *think* has something to do with the extremist brand of feminism she subscribes to. I'd have to look into that to know for sure though, and I want to preserve my brains cells, so I'm afraid I can't say for certain. ^^;

She's probably say you're conditioned to like to the make-believe abuse she'd pull out of her ass if you told you love your father and boyfriend. *Shudders*

Another thing I forgot to mention is that from what I've seen of the show and movie is that Jayne doesn't seem to be sexually predatory. He's violent, yes, but he's not shown to be violent towards women. He's lecherous, yes, but that doesn't mean he's a sexual predator. Though in Allecto's mind, it's probably the same thing.

I'd imagine so. Allecto's commentary indicated that she considered the show to be overly violent and basically seemed to bundle violent tendencies and sexual urges with an apparent desire to rape. It's...very interesting.

then write a female character that kills a man who is trying to kill her AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.

Seriously? She's saying this to the man who wrote Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Buffy staked who knows how many male vampires (and demons, sewer monsters, etc.), and I don't recall her ever getting in trouble for it. In fact, all of the men in her life admire her for it.
On a grayer note, Willow brutally kills Warren, and never has to face any repercussions for that.

Not to mention, in "Heart of Gold", the one prostitute very clearly and deliberately shoots the misogynist who knocked her up and tried to kidnap the kid in the head. She's clearly portrayed as heroic for this. Also, River shoots a number of mooks in the episode where they save Mal from being tortured, and again is heroic (if a little creepy). And heck, Zoe's entire backstory is centered around her being a soldier! No doubt she killed male enemy soldiers at that time, and she's shown as being smart, competent, and heroic.

Also, Whedon wrote comics for Marvel, of which I'm sure there were plenty of women who killed men who posed danger to them. As one person put it, if it's one thing Whedon's works don't lack, it's murder without consequence.

Heart of Gold is probably the best example of what she's asking for. Petaline flat-out executes Burgess and isn't punished for it. In fact, it implies she's going to run the brothel after Nandi's death.
Meanwhile, the whore who submitted to Burgess, rather than try to defend herself, is cast out for her betrayal.
