Let me just premise my statements by saying that I don't like Firefly. I tried it out because several of my friends and people on my flist spoke very highly of it, but I was not a fan. It wasn't nearly as funny as it liked to think it was, and I couldn't really grab onto the characters at all.
That being said, the girl is completely batshit. It's her superfeminist, read-misogyny-into-everything attitude that gives functional feminists a bad name.
The first scene opens in a war with Mal and Zoe. Zoe runs around calling Mal ‘sir’ and taking orders off him. I roll my eyes. Not a good start. Um... does she not understand how military organizations work? If she were higher ranking, he'd be calling her ma'am. It has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with bureaucratic hierarchy.
On Kaylee and the duct tape: Hell, I'd duct tape her mouth shut. She's fucking annoying. Shut up, girl. If it were a jabbering male, I'd have the same response. They're in a situation where they're hiding. They need to be quiet. SHUT UP = duct tape
And the prostitute wasn't being raped. She willingly took money for her services. We can go on about whether that's right or wrong or whatever, but it wasn't forced.
Let me just say now that I have never personally known of a healthy relationship between a white man and a woman of colour.
The first rule of science is that anecdotes != fact. Proof of existence is not enough to say that all relationships between white men and black women are inherently bad.
