The Feminist Filter: Reptile Boy

[gabrielleabelle]

So, I'd hoped to have my Riley meta ready today, but it's gonna take me some more time to get that finished and presentable (Riley, why so difficult?). So instead, let's do up some feminist discussion on Reptile Boy. :)

Mission Statement:This series is intended to outline the feminist text of each episode so as to provoke and encourage open

Another thought on Buffy's so-called foolishness: it occurs to me that if Buffy hadn't been there to save the day, Callie and two other innocent girls would've been sacrificed, and the demon would still be around for future rituals. So, really, it's BETTER that Buffy lied, but Giles is focused on how Buffy's behavior almost got her killed (but how is this different from every other time she fights a demon?) rather than how fortunate it was that Buffy was there to foil the frat's evil plans.

Of course! It is always better when Buffy is present - she's the ass-kicker of all things evil (TM)! :)

Oh, very true! Excellent point!
