13 Reasons Buffy Is a Badass Feminist

Buffy is one of the strongest women I've ever seen portrayed in fiction, but she also allows herself to be vulnerable, without seeing it as a weakness. She lets people in, and sometimes they break her heart. She trusts sometimes when she shouldn't (Parker Abrams, we'll never forgive and never forget). She loves deeply, even if it puts her at risk. Even if, as with Angel, it ends in heartache. She showed me that vulnerability isn't weakness, that, in fact, it's a valuable strength.
