Joss Whedon on strong female characters, again and again

Long ago, I remember discussions of books, films and main characters in groups as well as reading articles about books, films and main characters and was always given the line that if the main character was male, both men and women would see themselves in him. If the character was female only women could see themselves in her. Sounds like some of the deep theological discussions I had with other people too. Someone got rather huffy once when I suggested the Holy Spirit was female and said it had to be male since it was the spirit of Jesus Christ who was male. Then there were long sessions of prooftexting the mandated submissive role of women. I will admit, the very first time I saw Joss Whedon's name, I thought  he was female. When I discovered he was male, I was pleasantly curious and Buffy was part of a growing list of female characters who fueled my imagination.

If internet browsers were men

Circulating around the web is a picture of what looks like part of an article comparing internet browsers to women. I wondered if there was anything similar comparing browsers to men. I found something on a blog by Miriam Verburg, but it didn't have the same tone as the other.

As a bit of a social experiment, I lifted the text from the If browsers were women picture, changed the gender and added a new set of pictures from stock. (Note: I could not find the original post of this and if anyone has this information, I would be glad to add it here.)
