| Oct 2, 2016 at 1:23 | comment | added | krillgar | @KilianFoth I find it FAR more likely that, as stated in universe, it was used by the writers as a way to keep the main characters "shadier", yet still provide them with a means of getting into higher-class planets/situations. Inara was definitely empowered, and the life that she chose was her own choosing, something that anyone who cares for women's rights should applaud. I find your comment rather juvenile and misogynist. | |

(Also, subverting tropes is his particular hobby-horse.) | |
