Radfem analysis of Firefly, part 2

Our Mrs. Reynolds.

Because projecting the racial issues of today's United States (Australian author, BTW) onto off-planet people 500 years in the future makes so much sense... I wonder more about the "deep cover to make feminists look bad" possibility, frankly.

My favourite part is where she implies that Joss has never written a woman getting away with killing a man who was trying to kill her.

I am now wondering about whole sections of Firefly, Serenity and Buffy I must surely have imagined (and I didn't even watch Buffy that often.)

Seriously, I find it sad enough that people use their finite lives to adore an IMO rather unimpressive half-season-cancelled show like Firefly, but that people who hate Firefly use their finite lives to do the same is even sadder.

I mean, it is gone! Who cares? Can't radical feminists at least criticize shows which are successful?
