Derb – Here’s an opportunity to forge consensus between us. Here’s an absolutely hysterical (literally!) essay from some potty-mouthed feminist about Firefly. Just great stuff. Note to readers: You don’t even have to like Firefly to find this thing amusing (though, again, foul-mouthed).
Update: From a reader:
Jonah, the scariest thing about that rant about Firefly is the various discussions in the comments. There’s talk of the “radical feminist” definition of rape (which offended the lesbian survivor of actual rape who felt compelled to comment), and every thread is replete with self-identification with various ideologies… because the authoress is a radical feminist, she uses the radical feminist definition of rape. The authoress of the post tells one gay man that she doesn’t hate his sex, but hates his gender, and if he doesn’t understand that, he needs to go read up on radical feminism so he’ll understand. Tie in the bizarre non-confrontational “feelings” chatter which apparently must be uttered before ever disagreeing with another person, and you feel like you’ve been transported into cloud cuckoo land. Is this NRO’s day to peek into the dark side? Between your link and Stanley Kurtz’ on “the*logy,” I need some brain bleach.
