I think (and I'm reaching here), that this is in reference to Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog. There's been much Angst amongst the Whedonites (Whedonistas?) about how Joss has betrayed his feminist credentials because this one time, in this universe, the female character was not kicking ass and taking names.

i.e., because Joss is perceived as feminist-friendly in the real world, all of his works must be judged on that. And if he writes a character in a world that isn't in line with this, even if it's necessary for the story he wishes to tell and consistent to that world, then he has somehow failed his fandom.
