Whine, whine, whine! As a woman, I'm all for having equal rights but for the love of Pete just shut up!
I recently discovered a person's blog who makes me feel so volatile. This person is a lesbian feminist, ok that's cool, whatevs, right? TOTALLY WRONG! She's completely paranoid! I get upset when I go to websites like somethingawful.com or break.com because they judge women by their looks. I don't, however, immerse myself into a television show and pick apart the creator for allegedly being a misogynist.
This lady has beef with Joss Whedon because she claims that the television show "Firefly" basically gives the impression of female dominance, or powerful women, but really just slaps them in the face like they took too long makin dinner. As a woman I find this to be untrue on many levels. This is one of my favorite shows, and Joss Whedon is an excellent writer and producer.
One of her tirades includes the number of times a female talks as opposed to the number of times a male talks. Boo Hoo women aren't speaking as much as the men! 1) Actions speak louder than words and 2) Quality, not quantity. It doesn't matter, and it shouldn't matter. Discussing the amount of times which gender talks is insane, especially for a pilot episode.
Rape?! Are you serious? There isn't any point in any episode in which rape is happening. Do you know what rape is? "..sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent". That's right go on some ridiculous rant about how prostitution is rape. Inara is a glorified prostitute, she knows what she's doing and she chooses to do it. I suppose a woman who is promiscuous isn't a slut, it's just sexual liberation?
"I am really quite shocked by how readily Joss is accepted as a feminist, and that his works are widely considered to be feminist." A quote from your rant, and congratulations, you just called women stupid. No, you didn't outright say it (much like a lot of what you say of Firefly, huh?) but the undertones of that sentence just say it all, "WOMEN ARE STUPID FOR BELIEVING THIS". Anyone can take something and twist it anyway they want to. And that is exactly what is being done in your rant, and not just about Joss Whedon, but about everything. Why not go bash Tyra Banks for being black and subjecting women to the horrible torture of being criticized on how they look.

Preach it, sister! Allecto is a serious freak show, and the saddest part is that she deletes comments that disagree with her! It's the equivalent of a child sticking their fingers in their ears and going, "Naaaaahhh, naaaaaahhhhhhh, I can't hear you!"
But whatever. She wants to live in her bizarre little world where empowered women are only deceiving themselves, and bad people who happen to be female should never get their comeuppance, even when they try to kill people.
This woman is psycho, seriously. Seriously. Argh. I want to punch her in the vagina.
