Whedon, then, delivers a speech on the term feminist without any reference to feminist history, without any apparent awareness of feminist theory, and without even any demonstrated knowledge of the most important objections or conflicts around the term feminist, the use of which he is purportedly discussing. Instead, from his position as celebrity and writer, and, one fears, from his position as white man, he takes it upon himself to simply define feminism himself so that he can discard it. But its okay, cause he makes women beat men up in really popular movies. Seriously, why do people like Joss Whedon?
