This news didn't surprise me in the least. The subtext is all there in his work, and there were plenty of red flags throughout his career, like when he fired Charisma Carpenter during Angel for being pregnant.
Still a big fan of his work, though, and I'm disappointed that Whedonesque shut down since I read that semi-regularly.

I'm still trying to figure out how Whedon cheating on his wife makes him not a feminist in of itself? Granted, I never knew he was this supposed uber feminist to begin with. But can someone explain?

His place as a male feminist icon has been discredited. He possibly has never been on.

One woman, you mean his ex who left him cause he was cheating on her and admitted as much is hearsay?Lets do this in reverse, why is his rhetoric on feminism regarded as gospel and why is he considered a feminist icon? What has he done to attain that title?
Also why did his fan site that has been up for over 10 years shut down today?
He's released a large body of work that many people perceive as being highly feminist and empowering to women. Granted, I don't actually agree with a lot of those people on a lot of his work, but that's beside the point. While I disagree with Joss Whedon's works being as feminist as they are, for those who view them as being such him being touted as a feminist icon makes sense.

If you don't believe the claims of his ex wife, then why did people believe the woman that came out of no where in the home stretch of the election, to accuse Trump of sexually assaulting her?
