Seriously, they repeatedly make Buffy incompetent in practically everything, then say she's the average 20-something woman, then say it's female empowerment and... what? They're doing it wrong.
And I really would like to know exactly why they repeatedly make Buffy incapable of holding ANY job while turning around and having another Slayer admit to paying Buffy's rent FOR her. Apparently, it's not that it's impossible for a Slayer to pay rent, it's just impossible for BUFFY.
She's even managed to be regularly beaten up, necessitating that she be 'saved' by others with depressing frequency in the comics.
Again, this is writing for "a feminist icon"???
She doesn't have to be a brain surgeon, but competent in a couple of areas of her life would be nice.
