Good point about Lilah. Joss Whedon isn't bad all the time :) Though, while not generally set up as a sex object for the viewer she is definitely a fairly sexually aggressive person ie with Wesley, and this is set up as a deliberate contrast to Fred.

Isn't this the traditional crone stereotype? The evil witch, corrupted by her own power, thinks she can titilate the 'hero'?

Yeah, I hadn't really thought it through. Though I meant a woman who enjoyed grossing people out, but I think that's been done too.
