I am screaming @ your tags about slaying being woman’s work and therefore unpaid/valued less than angel’s PI business… the inherent sexism in demon hunting finally comes out

buffyboleyn:

It’s TRUE.

Not to bring everything back to whedon sucks, but how we should just take for granted that Angel should be paid but Buffy should do this for free is such a wasted point of discourse. It would have been so radical (and cute!) if Buffy set up shop in Sunnydale similar to Angel’s business (because it’s everyone knows she’s the slayer already! it’s not like she’s “blowing cover”; all the demons know her name and she literally got an award in high school. If they demons didn’t break into her house and kill them like yesterday, they’re not going to today)

Angel would probs hear and try some paternalistic concern that this business was making her “cold”, or at least try some cease and desist on her mimciking his business model. That’s bullshit too, because she developed this business model three seasons before his show.

Angel gets paid and we aren’t supposed to see it as any “less” becoming of his duty. Letting Buffy starve because it is “her duty as woman/slayer etc.” make me angrier than it should! Like why shouldn’t she be compensated just because it’s also her “duty”? It’s not like she wouldn’t do pro bono stuff like Angel does! She’s not the world’s housewife! She had a crack accountant (Anya) to help her run this thing! Wasted opp
