And you can show your love, too, by attending a screening of Joss Whedon’s sci-fi flick Serenity this weekend. All proceeds go to Whedon’s favorite charity, Equality Now. It’s a birthday gift to the unabashedly feminist television/film/comic book writer from fans.

Don’t miss Whedon’s speech at a recent Equality Now event, "On the Road to Equality: Honoring Men on the Front Lines." After being introduced by Meryl Streep, Whedon deconstructs the question most often asked during press junkets — "Why do you always write these strong women characters?"
