I appreciate the contextualisation from a Zoomer perspective and I definitely agree that Whedon was using the show to critique tendencies that he knew that he himself embodied. Being on Tumblr at the time, though, I remember it received quite a lot of backlash from feminist spaces. A lot of people definitely found it cringey at the time.
