This is your brain on feminism.

Joss Whedon recently made a speech at the Make Equality Reality event.

I find this sadly hilarious. It seems the impetus for his speech is Katy Perry's famous words at her acceptance speech for her Billboard award.



My take on it is, that Katy Perry, a successful woman, who seems mostly liberal in her views, shorted out poor Joss' brain. I'm reminded of the scene from the original Star Trek series, Mudd's Women.



I suppose Typhon Blue might call this a dueling threat narrative.



If he disagrees with Perry, he's going against a liberal woman, if he goes against feminism, he's going against a group of liberal women. Chaos ensues. He frantically churns up some doublethink and doublespeak to quell the smoke coming out of his ears.

I don't know Katy Perry's thoughts on feminism. Maybe she's red pill, maybe she's a blue piller who just doesn't like the connotations of feminism. It would be awesome if she came out with some red pill reasons for her statement in a future interview.
