Behold! I have discovered where the idea for s8 came from!
Via this page of Joss Whedon quotes:
It’s better to be a spy in the house of love, you know ? . . . If I made ‘Buffy the Lesbian Separatist,’ a series of lectures on PBS on why there should be feminism, no one would be coming to the party, and it would be boring. The idea of changing culture is important to me, and it can only be done in a popular medium.
On the whole, I'd greatly have preferred the lectures.
ETA: Since I'm here, this vid is very, very good at showing the problematic nature of some of Joss' work:

Doesn't it just? Hmmm, comic books, what should I do? Oh yes, that idea, that'd work nicely!
I'd probably have preferred the lectures too. I can't tell you how much I like the idea of Joss being interviewed on PBS.

I have occasionally thought that part of why I much prefer Buffy, the series to Buffy, the comic is that the network provided a check to the worst of his crazyness and/or bad ideas...
Word. Also the comics are crap. But that's something else....
