8. Be written by Joss Whedon

The women from Firefly and Serenity broke all of these rules and managed to live. Inara is a sex worker. Zoe could kick Starbuck’s ass. Kaylee works with criminals. And yet they were all alive at the end of Serenity.

This more like the 8 rules of surviving Sci-fi all rules related to girls, hey but I ain't complaining espcially since they all involve sex or saying the word Sex.

I would say these rules are either created by a Woman or a sex addict who only watches sci-fi programs for the girls like Summer,Morena,Jewel,ect

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Pink raygun IS for fangirls, and I believe it IS run by women. I could be wrong, though.

Interesting list. Obviously someone was feeling a bit pissy for the way women were portrayed and treated in sci-fi. Good number 8 rule, though

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
A troll's hair is still pointy, even when it's wearing a hat.

Well as the website is aimed primarily, although apparently not exclusively, at women Darkfly, I can kinda see why the rules might be related to women.

They made me giggle, iLikes ^^

They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive.

Well I think the word "PINK" kind says it is a site for women. You never know. But you can see why Joss Whedon has difficulties producing a show. He does not follow the rules. Since the women were not properly killed off the show must die.

Even the movie kept the women alive while killing a shepard and the one married man.

They also forgot Buffy. She had sex with Angel and survived. Even Willow made it alive. See Joss uses a different formula.
