Title: Misandry and The Buffyverse: Rupert Giles

Author: Maggie (sevendeadlyfun)

Summary: Buffy The Vampire Slayer is presented as a feminist triumph, a show where female strength and feminine heroism are given prominence and value. Equally, however, the show engaged in a systematic disparagement of men and masculinity. This essay focuses on Rupert Giles. Later essays will explore the other male characters of BtVS and how possible misandry affected their portrayal.
