ksmithIt always happens. This two sides to the story thing.
Another take on Joss's women, with this interesting line:
"What is it with Whedon and strong women? Not Whedon and strong "girls", or at least his version thereof - they all get happy endings, even when they are, in fact, unacknowledged sexual abusers*. But what happens to his women?"
I'm not sure I accept it--some of his men don't end up particularly well either, and given that the story is about character growth, particulary Buffy's growth, I can see why he did things the way he did--but it's a point of view.
