And I'd argue the assertion that the article was written by a man.
You can ask him. Looks like he's not written anything for them for a few years. Too bad. That article alone is better than anything that ever came from Joss's keyboard.

No by-line on that.

“I haven’t dealt with a lot of that, because my fans have always been sweet, erudite, interesting, compassionate people. Like, I don’t know any Buffy trolls,’ said Whedon, referencing his cult TV show Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.
Agreed. Joss indeed has a vagina.

Yes, and because certain duck species are especially rapey, some are really fucked up.

Whedon described how others who had input on the film wanted Thor’s excursion into a cave in search of answers to take up a bigger chunk of the film. The scene didn’t test well with audiences, but the belief was that this sequence, which hints at the overarching plot concerning the Infinity Stones, was necessary.
“With the cave it really turned into, they pointed a gun at the farm’s head and said, ‘Give us the cave or we’ll take out the farm’—you know, in a civilized way,” said Whedon, who also liked a version of the cave scene. “And I respect these guys, they’re artists, but that’s when it got really, really unpleasant.”
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
This video talks about Whedon and his struggles with the studio to make the movie he wanted to make...
Cutting scenes he liked can only make it better.

It's been about 20 years since they (Disney) started to turn away from sucking really hard. Seriously, look at Disney's involvement with Toy Story and what they were trying to do to that story.
I think at that point after the success of Pixar, Disney decided they needed to trust the people they hired because they hired them for their vision. After 20 years of good stuff coming from them, they're starting to believe their own press and think the name "Disney" at the bottom was what made these films great.
It's a natural cycle. I think we have a couple of decades of The Black Hole to look forward to at this point.
