I'm reposting this from [livejournal.com profile] tx_cronopio's journal...

http://users.livejournal.com/_allecto_/34718.html

Quoted from one of _allecto_'s comments:

I feel awful for Joss Whedon's wife. From what I've read about him and the interviews I've watched, I'm fairly certain that he rapes his wife and abuses her in various other ways. I honestly can't think of anything worse than living with a man like Joss who thinks of women like the way he portrays in his tv shows. How awful. The comment about the money was meant to be about how I personally could see no benefit from being with a man like Joss OTHER than money. Joss uses and abuses her. Probably rapes her and thinks of women as whores etc, etc. Obviously, Ms Whedon has her own reasons for staying. Fear, patriarchal concepts of love, etc. But I would argue that she gives everything and gets nothing. Money is the only concrete thing that she could possibly gain. But as I said money is worth nothing compared with self-integrity, self-esteem, love (sister/lesbian/gynaffectionate love) etc. So she still loses out. Poor woman.

I'm speechless. How anybody can make these kind of assertions about Whedon's personal life based upon what he writes in a tv show is beyond me.

Is there anybody out there with posting priviledges to Fandom_Wank or Whedonesque? If so, would you mind reposting this? I'm wondering if there are any grounds for a libel suit here. I've tried explaining this to the lady making the inflammatory posts / comments, but she keeps deleting my comments. What a wacko!

And yes, that OP is crazy and in need of some therapy.

It was posted on Whedonesque but deleted - a good thing IMO as Joss does read that site and I can't imagine how upsetting it'd be for him to read that. I can however imagine Fandom_Wank having a field day with it.

(this might seem like a completely random comment but I found this entry via Google:Blogs, how cool is that?)

I'm hoping people just ignore the post, but that won't happen. So it will probably end up on Fandom_Wank, which is a pity - it should just stay in her journal where her narrow fucking mind can stay.

Part of me hopes that he does find it and smacks the crazy lady with a libel suit. Nothing like a good cease and desist letter or a libel suit to scare her straight...

(got here through other people ranting. I agree with you- btw)

Seriously the biggest problem I have with this is that its basically saying that men cant love. The only real love is this gynaffectionate(made up word!) love. So basically, this bitch believes men arent human. And really, how is she any better than the homophobic jerk shouting out "god hates queers"? in my book, she's not. She invalidates a group of people's love for each other. And for me that's just as bad as any other bigotry. Maybe worse, because she hides behind a fucking shroud of feminism.

*pokes the crazy lady* Feminism - you're doing it wrong.

Whats even more "Oo" is the fact that people agree!

O___o

Reading some of the comments hurt my brain.

She's screening comments. She's posting the comments that agree with her and deleting the ones who don't. Believe me...I've tried to reason with her. She just deletes my comments...unanswered...

It's people like that that give feminism a bad reputation, and makes it easy for others to ignore the very real biases and stereotypes that humanity has to contend with. Now if only the OP could spend that amount of energy on the IAT (http://implicit.harvard.edu) and evangelizing that instead of ranting against a fictional work that so few people watched that it was canceled, irrespective of its qualities.

Let me just say now that I have never personally known of a healthy relationship between a white man and a woman of colour.

Oh fuck! I must be being oppressed...
