me when people connect Buffy’s romantic troubles to her “daddy issues”: that is shitty, patriarchal reasoning that makes only the flimsiest comparisons between her lovers and Hank. by relating men leaving her to hank, we reinforce Buffy’s unfounded fears that she is inherently unlovable or deliberately chooses shitty guys, thus ultimately blaming her these relationships’ downfall. why do we have to fall back on Oedipal stereotypes in analyzing our female characters. why can’t buffy’s relationships and their issues stand on their own
me when people connect Spike’s romantic troubles to his “mommy issues”: lol ye
