I didn't know feminism was actually a thing until I left home and found out the country didn't run the way my mom's house did.
Joss WhedonEquality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity, we need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. We need Equality, and we kind of need it now. 'So why do you write these strong female characters?' Because you're still asking that question.
Joss WhedonWhen youโre telling a story, youโre trying to connect to people in a particular way โฆ The way in which you guys have inhabited this world, this universe, has made you part of it, part of the story. You are living in Firefly. When I see you guys, I donโt think the show is off the air. I donโt think thereโs a show; I think thatโs what the world is like. โฆ The story is our lives.
