This explains a lot about why Joss likes to place women in physically superior and cooler roles than the men in his work (Buffy, Firefly, Wonder Woman)

I applaud him on attempting to equal the sexes, but at the same time it is the perception of inferiority that makes the characters cool for breaking the mold. Ironic.
