In related news, on the series Angel, there was also a scene where Angel goes to an informant named Spanky, who he walks into his place and says, "So why do they call you ...Spanky?" At that point looking around at his bdsm accouterments. The other makes reference to the "our gang/little rascals" then later says he doesn't judge and likes men's asses fine but he doesn't spank men, to wit Angel grabs a paddle and says, unfortuantely for you, I do.
In the series ending, Wesley remarks to Fred/Illeria something like "why don't I nip off to Ms.Spanksalot for a few moments dalliance?" to a Fred/Illeria who replies "...Ms. who?"
Yeah, I figure the writers, if not Joss himself, on both sets were spankophiles, big time. Being Joss is purportedly a femminist, with dire hate for male dominance, when men either brag or overtly suggest giving women a spanking (ie the birthday spanking, and Spanky (who hints at spanking women)), they get put in their place, but when women talk about getting spanked by women (lesbian Willow), women spanking men, (ie Buffy saying Reilly was going to get disciplined for eating junk food, or 'xander and Anyanka trying spanking (note when Anyanka energetically admits this, she doesn't say who spanks who, and by 'xanders reaction, and Joss' predilictions, I'd guess it was 'xander on the bottom), is okay. |
