DA - Seconding all of this. I used to think he was brilliant, because in the landscape of mediocre 90's TV writers he was genuinely pretty excellent. But in hindsight, it's clear he has a lot of limits as a writer. Things he writes well include quippiness, entertaining team dynamics that involve all the characters and give everyone a chance to be awesome, and heartfelt story beats.

Things he doesn't write well: Most other stuff.

NAYRT, but agreed. Honestly, on the feminism angle, it's not so much that Joss's writing is any more sexist than the next Hollywood writer. Buffy was (sadly) groundbreaking for having a cast with multiple young women who were both kickass and not competing with each other for a man. Usually. Where he falls down is that he never really thinks the feminism through much past "what if the cheerleader was the badass?" so there's still all the same, gross, "sex and partying leads to death" tropes, only Buffy beats her way out of being punished for it. And, more importantly, here we are twenty-something years later and Joss is still writing like it's 1997 and expecting cookies for it.
