Plus, anyone please read his Wonder Woman script and tell me what a feminist hero he really is.

Dude always struck me as being creepy and performative

She did not leave. She was fired. Because she got pregnant.

And the rumors are a little unclear—Charisma may have handled things legitimately badly on her end. But Joss and the show DEFINITELY handled it cruelly on their end.

Also, one of the things Charisma’s supposed to have done poorly is delayed telling the show…

Cheating is feminist neutral, really. It’s how he disguised and paraded his cheating : he gaslit his wife about the affairs, over and over, while using both his power as a producer to push young women into bed with him while at the same time proclaiming his love for his Strong Woman wife as a duck blind: how can you…

All you really you to know about Whedon’s feminism is that, when Equality Now honored Whedon, he gave a “cute” speech mansplaining to a room of feminist women how the word they use to identify themselves is wrong and bad, and told them what label* they should use instead of feminist.

I don’t think cheating in and of itself makes someone a non-feminist. However, in Whedon’s case, he likely exploited power disparities to get his dick wet, and then blamed the women for throwing themselves at him afterwards.

Studies have shown again and again that the vast majority of monogamous relationships have cheating at one point or another.

Also, they could have shot Charisma Carpenter to hide her belly. They do it ALL the time in TV. Sarah Jessica Parker, comes to mind. She’s half naked all the time in SATC but when she was pregnant they shot her so she always had a coat on or something was blocking the view from her stomach or she was sitting down…

Trust me, it got worse from there.

I’m sorry that happened to you.

She says multiple times, emotional and sexual, multiple lies and blamed the actresses for being in awe of his status and aggressively sexual, basically casting himself as the victim of his subordinates.

She’s saying that he was so emotionally abusive that she has PTSD. Emotionally abusing one woman in order to facilitate having sex with other women who you employ and have significant power over... that’s not some one who actually believes in feminism.

“As a guilty man I knew the only way to hide was to act as though I were righteous.”

I might be wrong but it sounds like Joss has cheated with some of the cast/crew. It’s also not that he just cheated one time, but he has cheated multiple times and then gaslighted his wife about it.

That’s messed up. It seems like Joss isn’t just cheating and gaslighting, but he is using his position of power to get sex partners. I’m glad his wife is out here letting women know not to trust him.

Or maybe some people are just shity.

That “thought process” is just fans angry that their idol isn’t what they built him up to be and the fact she had the gal to reveal the truth (Joss not fighting back confirms it for me).

Somebody commented yesterday that if the kids are really young, you don’t need to say “DADDY WAS FUCKING OTHER LADIES AT WORK” but you tell the kids that trust was abused, promises broken, etc. Those are some tricky emotional waters to navigate, regardless.

One of the gossip blogs I frequent is overwhelmingly against her because by speaking out she’s apparently abusing ‘the children’. That by speaking out about her abuse, she is at fault because she is airing their dirty laundry and that is abusive to the kids.

As someone who knows the absolute devastation and trauma being cheated on (by the last person you would think) I absolutely understand why Kai did what she did.
