This is what a (male) feminist looks like. Itโ€™s all worth watching (as it explains the connection between Whedonโ€™s mother and the group hosting his speech), but if youโ€™re pressed for time, skip ahead to about the 5:10 mark:

Mindblowing. Iโ€™ve never even watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but this made me want to.

He obviously has a huge penis.


i’m a huge whedon fanboy and this speech only helped me become a bigger one He obviously has a huge p****. – emilyb LOL!!


BTVS is one of the all time great television shows. Brilliant villians, tough women, insane sense of humor. His “musical” episode was fabulous, and the episode where Buffy’s mom dies is just plain heartbreaking (because of the camera and sound work, along with the script and the acting). [caveat: the show ran for many years, and there are some stupendously crappy episodes as well.] The only show with better female characters is Battlestar Galactica.


i totally agree with that kate i don’t think BSG gets enough props for being just a damn good show
