Lovers Walk.

Just by the way, for anyone disappointed with Mark's review of Lovers Walk, here's a link to Arbitrar of Quality's review. (Same deal: Unspoiled first time viewer, a ton of rot-13 in the comments etc. for those who weren't around at the time. But, uh, AOQ's take on things was... different to Mark's. *g*)

It's just that, in a series that I have so much feminist love for, this episode uses sexist tropes I despise. My bar is lower for most media, but for Buffy I expect some intelligence when it comes to depicting women.

Well, compared to the comics it's positively BURSTING with feminism. *g* (I know that doesn't excuse it. But it's funny, so I like it. /shallow)

Thanks. BBB is one of those great Xander episodes where Buffy actually thanks him for not raping her.

Let's all get together and buy him a medal! :D

Given the number of times that sort of thing is played with in the series, I kind of think it's unlikely Joss would have seen it that way. Of course, it *is* called out in Dead Things, but that's the only time.
