I don't think she even understands what it means to be a feminist. Treating women as equals is not the same as treating women like delicate flowers. If women are not allowed to be portrayed negatively, like this person seems to believe, then they aren't equal to men, are they? She sounds more like a misandrist than a feminist to me.

Yeah, I've read this before. Absolutely ridiculous. That woman is not a feminist, not by a long shot. She's just an ignorant, inane misandrist.

For the record, while Firefly does contain some instances of woman being treated wrongly (notably in Heart of Gold), it's always done by characters that are clearly villians, and it is always shown as being morally repulsive. So it's not like it's being glorified or anything.

I feel awful for Joss Whedon's wife. From what I've read about him and the interviews I've watched, I'm fairly certain that he rapes his wife and abuses her in various other ways.
What. No, seriously, what.

Good fucking lord, someone get this half brained, (too angry to think of more insults) ***** off my internets. I'm perfectly fine if people don't like Firefly (Although they might require a head examination), but THIS, makes me want to stangle puppies.

*facepalm* I just stopped reading right there.
I stopped a little ahead, at this part:

"A black woman calling a white man 'sir'. A white male captain"

He's a damn captain, you call him sir. You follow this rule in every military and this has been this way for a very long time. Men and women have to call him sir, which means the crew follows the orders of the captain, which means the crew has some sort of equality going on, which completely invalidates her argument.
Oh but it's just the way it all acted out, you just had to be there. Men are such bastards! Right on sister!

Ugh, from all the quotes I'm getting I'm more and more glad I didn't read further.

Honestly, between this and the Tyra Banks novel crap [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100637-Tyra-Banks-Fancies-Herself-the-Next-J-R-R-Tolkein], I'm surprised my brain hasn't exploded yet.

Someone made a thread about this a month or so ago. It *still* pisses me off.

The worst things she says are the remarks about rape and how basically any sexual act between a man and a woman is, in her warped little mind, "rape". No. No. No... just, god damn it! No! Female soldiers getting gang up unwillingly by what should have been male comrades in the Middle East, and women getting forced upon by their superiors and threatened to be discharged should they try to tell anyone else... THAT is rape. To trivialize their awful ordeals into simple consensual sex between partners as "Hey, you! Husband in love with his wife! You're a rapist!" is so god damn disrespectful to the humiliation and pain those female soldiers went through. Arghghghghg!

Feminists like her absolutely her infuriate me. I love being a woman - wearing dresses, brushing my hair, taking care of puppies and children, all that shit. That doesn't mean I am subordinate and "know my place". I know how to fucking stand up for myself but I don't feel the need to trample on good, loving men in the process. Yes, there are scumbags like those soldiers who raped those women - but there are also male heroes in that same military! You can't just look at one bad man and take it as some kind of warped evidence that all men are evil sonsabitches.

That's like saying, white guys founded the KKK. All white people are racist! I was bullied by black thugs when I was a kid. All black guys hate white women! A woman in my neighborhood once murdered her husband after he cheated on her. All women are secretly unstable murderous wenches!

Anyone with half a brain cell can see the faulty logic there. There are good people and bad people, REGARDLESS of gender. Most of my friends are men, and they are the most loyal and respectful people I have ever known. I love them. They would fight on my behalf and I would fight on theirs. The woman who wrote that article is off her rocker and, ironically, gives strong women a bad name. Fuck her.

Arrrrghghghg!

... Sigh.

I'm going back to painting my toenails now.

I would have thought that if these types of women truly wanted equality then they'd call themselves "equalists" or something not feminists. It sounds a lot less sexist.

I also wonder why she fails to mention males also calling their Captain sir.

She isn't Feminist so much as she is just sexist.
Misandric is a good word for it.
ah thank you I hadn't heard of that term (and after I quick look up) it seems quite suitable to her. I'm going to have to remember that word, thank you.

If you look at the comments, she only replies to people who agree with her and deletes any one who's comment is criticising her.

Read some of it.

I hate feminists, so much. (Not all of them, just the ones in my upcoming example.) They think women gaining power means taking power AWAY from men, and they think every little thing done against a female is some kinda insult MEANT to make a women look bad and weak.

Maybe if she wasn't so interested in bashing all men and claiming how the world should be run by women (I haven't read her articles, but from her writing it seems she is the type) then maybe she could start writing her own fiction that puts women in a place of power.
