I know you don't really need another reason to love Joss Whedon, but check out this speech he gave at Equality Now. By the end I was all goose-pimply. Thanks to
coffman for the link. (There's also this. I'm not sure if the interviewer actually knows it's Joss Whedon and is in on the joke, but I prefer to think he doesn't get it at all--it's funnier that way.)
