I've read that Joss loved the giant Dawn storyline. Ok, metaphor but WHY isn't Buffy doing anything but blame her sister? The misogyny here stinks worse than a used Kevlar vest.
Especially after the end to that story (this was written way before that) a) revealed that it really was just as simple as I suggested above, b) was based entirely on the assumption that everyone would sympathize with Kenny, c) had Dawn giving a big "You know, I learned something today" speech about how she had it coming for pissing off her boyfriend, and Buffy agreeing with her.
Sheeesh.
And now I'm flashing back happily to the mirror scene in Who's That Girl (one of my favorite eps.)
Mine too. Of course, that means Buffy's quoting Faith here, but I can live with that. :)
