In order to cheat, Joss Whedon gaslighted his wife very badly to the point where she has PTSD. He also blamed his cheating on the actresses who threw themselves at him - paraphrasing here but that was the gist of what he said. He definitely used the power imbalance between himself and the actresses to his advantage.

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.”

That’s a troll. I got the “men are dogs, but if you treat them well and pay attention to them they’ll be loyal for life” version of this BS. I would say just dismiss them next time.

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.

My best friend’s ex was very active in a feminist organization but also had a side hobby: prostitutes. Some people think morality is like a savings account. It’s OK to make regular withdrawals as long as you’re making deposits.

Also, he fired Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant after years of working for him.

I never finished that speech where he said he didn’t like the way the word feminist sounds. I think I watched the first 5 min of that and was completely turned off listening to him speak ever again.

Oh yeah, how the top comment is “you can be a feminist and a cheater”.

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).

I thin it depends on who you ask...there are a lot of people - a lot of women and feminists - who have argued for a while now that he isn’t as feminist as he likes to pretend to be, or as we may want him to be. But there are still those who will point to Buffy as if it set the standard for feminist TV shows. It didn’t.

Can I just ask was anyone really surprised that Whedon wasn’t the feminist hero he was turned into?

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.

I would love it if they all said fuck this and every. single. one. of. them. quit.

Remember the people who claimed they were going to vote for him because he was rich and he wouldn’t be corrupted?

I kind of like the idea of just telling Trump, “Hey, sorry, you used up your Secret Service protection for the year,” just to see how he reacts. :)
