Allecto made it abundantly clear that she was "interested in examining Joss Whedon’s work from a feminist perspective" before even watching Firefly and thus saw each scene for "a little" more than what it was. its like listening to the beatles before and after knowing the "paul is dead" theories - only without the slight evidence, and with none of the sanity. seemingly she is insecure about the female future in society and thus exaggerates the implications of many scenes to the extreme. mildly ammusing that a feminist, who I assume believes a woman deserves every right and treatment accorded to a man, refuses to allow the bad with the good (but only with women - when it comes to men, they can all go to hell for all she seems to care). I assert a counter opinion that in Firefly each character is treated as a personality rather than a gender. for what woefully small amount of evidence there is (referring to the longevity of the show), every character had the freedom to make the choices that led to their current situation. Is there any greater equality than that of choice? (exception being slaves, but thats a different discussion for a better world, and the accurately depicted, poverty infested, future ones are most certainly not them)
