Like all Whedonites: smart, literary, also likes things that explode.

Channelling the above into writing for Under the Gun and Filmoria.

"We heart liberal feminist dogma."

Let us smash the patriarchy with the hammer of Thor.

Quote with 11 notes

Only a small percentage of women even have the opportunity to be mean to men, because men only pay attention to a small percentage of women. This whole thing is like saying, “Oh, black men are always running around dominating white men and taking their jobs!” when the only thing you’ve ever seen is the NBA. Women don’t need to apologize for complaining because 1) complaining is not getting women very far very fast, so don’t sweat it; and 2) women should be complaining. Some ladies are making fun of you on the TV? Well, at least they’re not legislating your genitals, and talking to you like you’re a baby, and passing you over for promotions, and treating you like sexy livestock, and taking you less seriously by default without even thinking about it. Men have regarded women (uppity women, anyway) with contempt for generations. Dishing it out, meet taking it.

FAKE. PROBLEM. GOODNIGHT.
