That's a very interesting speech. I don't agree with her comments about the war in general but I certainly agree with her that women are not by nature morally superior to men. They can be just as vindictive and ugly, but because they have generally less physical strength than men, they tend to show their bad side in more subtle ways. Just on a small scale, I remember the cruelties of the playground and of the all-women organisation I used to work for, which I found quite nightmarish. And, of course.... Buffy. I really really want to ask Jane E at Writercon what she thinks about so many people finding it hard to respect Buffy ever again after her abusive side was revealed in season 6.
