13 Reasons Buffy Is a Badass Feminist

Buffy is not fearless. She fears many things, in fact. She's afraid for the people she loves, she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders and she worries for everyone in it, and she even fears herself at times. But she faces those fears and conquers them. She is unflinchingly brave, and her courage is unwavering — whether it be facing down a demon armed with a stake and a snappy quip, or whether it be facing life raising her sister without her mother, Buffy does it. Because she has to, and because it's just who she is.
