*laughs* I /adore/ Whedon's work, but I have to confess that before I'd actually watched Buffy, I assumed it was sexist (along with Xena), on account of the fact that the advertisements for these shows put them in the category of "Busty Babe Kicks Ass." Mind you, I still wonder why the media refuses to portray any heroine who isn't overwhelmingly sexy and flawlessly stylish, but oh well. At least Whedon's female characters have brain, brawn, and depth in addition to nice bodies.
