Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

In my more expansive moods, I figure they are working along the lines Camille Paglia put forth in Sexual Persona; to wit, men are Apollonian, straight-line thinkers and doers, problem-solvers. The male is the one who is nominally head-of-household, and deals with the external stuff (mammoth-killer, breadwinner, soldier, athlete). Women are Cthonian, involved and identified with bodily fluids, associative thinkers and manipulators. The female is the emotional head-of-household, dealing with the internal stuff, caring for the children, addressing people's emotions.
Yeah, that's pretty much my take when being less bitchy.
In my more bitchy moments, I wonder how many of the people making that particular argument have been in the position of being the pursued.
I've seen it argued by so many people who are smart, but seem to have a Spike-sized blindspot, and it's identification more than attraction driving it in my experience. Of course, as my main objection is of the BMECT! variety, potkettleblack.

Oh good, since I ♥ Sean!

So, playing the role of Perkins, which Buffyverse chacter do fans have the biggest blindspot for? Or, which character do you, dear Reader, have a blindspot for?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
playing the role of Perkins
I have a role? Cool.
For many fans, I guess I would say Spike or Willow. For myself, probably Wesley.

Honestly, I think my biggest blindspot is Connor sized, because Connor is just a WEE MISUNDERSTOOD WOOBIEMAN!
Ahem.

Xander, do wrong? Xander's never done wrong in his life, right? He was always in the right.
(Yeah, my Xander blindspot is large.)

(I thought you were being literal, because Xander himself has the biggest blindspot.)
(Then I remembered she was asking about OUR blindspots. D'oh.)

I was. In a really metaphoric way.
Or something.
(I saw it before you deleted and was highly amused.)
