Three of the females from Firefly (and a case could be made for Kaylee) don't fit the "I'm crying and I need your penis" role. Inara had a ton w/o trying, River was more likely to kick one off your body than anything else, and Zoe was the penical owner in that relationship.
Can't comment on his other shows though. I've only seen parts of Buffy and Angel, and Dollhouse is still unfolding into something that seems to be more "I'm a guy and I think you need me, so I'm coming to save you whether you need it or not, but I will probably find out otherwise in the end." Worst sentence ever.

In the first place, Firefly has the fewest hours of running time of any of them. Being in its second season, Dollhouse has to have passed it up. I have long felt that the short run of Firefly (and given my way WOULD have allowed JW all the rope to hang himself as possible), might have been the best thing to happen to that show, as it kept the flaws from emerging. He's dead-on-balls-accurrate about Buffy in regard to the chick-power thing. He did state that Angel and Firefly were both male PoV, male-perspective shows, so presumably this attack on Whedon's alleged feminism would not have applied. There WAS, however, the episode where Wash felt threatened by Zoe's & Mal's history, and inveigled his way onto the mission with Mal, where they got kidnapped by Mr. Nishka, and then the rest of the episode was about Wash asserting his macho side, losing the Hawaiian shirts and going all commando-sleeveless-vest on the rescue mission, and having Zoe make him soup at the end before they go hop into bed together. So much for Zoe the mighty feminist icon. And when she comes to ransom Mal & Wash, and the crimelord tells her she can only have one back, she picks her husband over her war-time comrade-in-arms & commander, before Nishka can even get the words out. Whether you approve of the choice or not, it was hardly the choice of a writer who is trying to portray a woman taking the typical masculine role. So much for "bros before hos"...

So the guy hates Whedon as much as some love him.

Actually, it suggests he likes Whedon's work, but hates Whedon's posturing & fan excesses. *NM*

It is what he's known for, though sometimes I wonder why. (General Joss spoilers)
