The irony is nearly too much to bear. In my young mind, Whedon was the alpha and omega of self-reflexive serialized storytelling, offering a knowing critique of the way women had been presented on screen for too long, even as he seemed to propose something new. I wasn't alone in thinking so: More than 20 years after it debuted, "Buffy" is still revered for its groundbreaking girl-power legacy, considered something of a pop-feminist urtext by academics, critics and ordinary fans alike.
It's a vision of empowerment riven with loss, an argument that women's psychological stamina should cost us our ability to feel fully and deeply. While I am increasingly skeptical about the way this trope underwrites our stories of feminine power, I cannot help but feel an inkling of it in myself when I contemplate the man I once called "master." Through his work on "Buffy," Whedon asked me to question who I'm willing to accept as my heroes. His lessons have never been more resonant.

The singer now finds herself in a legal battle to remove those constraints, and some of her fans find themselves mobilizing in the form of the Free Britney movement, picketing in support of her efforts.

Britney Spears documentary on Hulu hits close to home for 90s girls
Culture held Spears up as an all American girl, but had her walk a tight line: look stunning but embody the girl next door, act sexy but remain a virgin, be articulate but never opinionated.
"I mean, it's just all too much to ask of one girl," said journalist Allison Yarrow , author of "90s Bitch: Media, Culture, and the Failed Promise of Gender Equality."
On its surface, "Framing Britney" is a bruising look at the extraordinary demise of Spears – her explosive success marred by a mental health struggle which led to the legal conservatorship that stripped her of autonomy. But while Spears' story is magnified by her wealth and fame, the impossible standards to which she were held are familiar to the girls who idolized her.
