As part of a face-saving exercise, pop-culture artifacts like Buffy allow women to be feminists by proxy, i.e. "I want to be a cossetted damsel in distress, protected and owned by men, but I have the Buffy/Angel DVD boxed set, so clearly I must be an independent power grrrl who makes her own rules."
It's the fans of "Buffy", "Sex and the City" etc who recently embraced that feminist icon, Paris Hilton, on her recent visit.
