REALLY? You're sure? I don't know if I should say thank you or try to forget it because we talk a lot & I have in my head that he's a she - I guess "she" is my default assumption unless I know otherwise. Which is not a bad thing - I thought the same of norwie2010 and kervik. (And "he" used to be the default assumption for centuries.) They are all IMO true "feminists" who have really checked their privileges at the door or are at least very aware of it. (Kervik writes with such sensitivity about lesbian/bi characters that I thought he was a lesbian.)
Actually, all the men on my flist are feminists and write marvelously about female characters, and are less likely to victimize Buffy or other female characters than many female fans. I'm happy that there are men like them out there but what the hell does that say about my gender? (I was about to say "our" but then I realize I don't know yours, either!)
