Feminist is a movement, a history, a faith, and a hope for change—as Firestone says, if there were another word more all-encompassing than revolution we would use it. Saying equality is natural sounds like a good thing, but Whedon uses it rhetorically to ignore the entire history of feminism. Instead of acknowledging his foremothers, he can just offer up standard-issue self-aggrandizing self-deprecation, spontaneously generating words that will (with appropriate caveats of course) perhaps change the face of feminism and make all those feminists hes not talking about anyway obsolete. -Noah Berlatsky
